paul525715 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I saw this today, from a distance. Didn't get chance to check it out. Can anyone shed any light. Is it legit? How old is it? etc. Thanks in advance for your help... I might have to go and investigate this further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 . I think the one pup is a SG Junior - http://everythingsg.com/index.php/junior.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestructorsKillMusic1982 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Looks legit to me, but the headstock looks like a smaller (wingless) headstock though, which would make it a Melody Maker, I'd guess late 60's perhaps? I don't recall if the Melody Maker back then ever came with a single P-90, so it could be modified, which might also explain why the body paint is stripped. Cool guitar still, love those P-90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The lack of beveling makes me think Norlin era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakerpimp Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 is this homemade with a real gibson neck? the neck joint does not line up on the left. there are no bevels on the left/top. horns too thick, look at the inner cuts. tailpiece is crooked. the wood looks god awful, never seen knots like that. knob locations incorrect. neck not set deep/close enough into the body.

BigKahune Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 ... is this homemade with a real gibson neck? . . . Good question. You might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Unfortunately, I have to say, this one never been to Gibson factory. In addition to what Sneakerpimp said, I would like to point out to the distance between the bridge and tailpiece. Every detail of the guitar reflects very poor craftsmanship. Sorry... Cheers...
