A Small Gap

[JKHillSG]

hi again, i recently purchased a gibson sg standard and found a little gap between the neck and the body closed to the top horn. i've had two guys at guitar center said it was fine but i'm just looking for another opinion. it doesn't affect the playing at all and i'm hoping it's just a cosmetic flaw. i'll post a link to a picture of it. thanks in advance

That gap under the fretboard is caused by the neck-set. If the neck-set leaves a gap under the fretboard they usually glue in a filler piece. There probably a filler piece in there that doesn't come out to the edge of the neck.

If you can still take it back i would have never taken it home.

just tell them your not happy with it and have them order you another

i know i wouldnt want it.

 

let us know what you end up doing

It looks perfectly normal to me. That is just where the neck is set in to the body at an angle.....about a 4-5 degree pitch. Since the SG has a flat top, of course there will material showing above the body since the neck is pitched. :)

thank you, that's a relief. im not planning on exchanging it. although i am planning on changing the 498t's with 57 classics. it's still the greatest guitar i've owned

57s in SGs are wonderful indeed...........
