jc1funk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I see these go for AU$2500+ new... so at AU$900 I'm a bit dubious. I've asked for the serial number. What's the best way to verify. Here is the link From what I've read, these are from the "standard" range, not the lower grade "special" range, am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd agree the case should be White inside I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamGuy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hmm... the one I just bought off ebay (a 2003), also has a grey lined case. So maybe it's not too good to be true... I just picked up mine for $816 USD shipped. The serial number checked out and it looked totally legit. Maybe 2013 is the year of the SG bargain?

AlanH Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The seller says it's a "Standard" in his description below it. I think standards have come with that pickguard in the past. Knowing home much you Aussies have to pay for guitars though it does seem a little too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroller Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I would say that it is indeed a '61 Reissue. Notice the full bevel on the lower horn that butts right up to the pickguard. The new 2013 Standards have been redesigned with this vintage correct shape, but an older Standard would have a shallow bevel even though some may have been fitted with the small pickguard. I think it is a good deal at that price for a 61 Reissue unless you can find a new 2013 Standard for similar money which I doubt at this point. I haven't even seen one in the stores yet.

cjsinla Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The 61 reissues have a yellowed binding around the neck, the standards have white binding. Also, the holly inlay on the headstocks are in different spots. I can't see the headstock in the eBay pic but the binding looks white. I bet it's a standard like the description says.
