Supposed to be a 2003 Gibson sg gothic. It looks mostly right but the bridge has obviously been changed. But the biggest thing that is throwing me off is the inlays. I havent seen a gothic sg that had full inlays like this. I've only seen them with a single inlay at the 12th. There is a serial number and USA stamped into the back of the headstock but I've seen that on a chibson before. I asked him for more pics. Still waiting for a reply. What do you think.....

Re: Is this a fake SG?
It's not a Gothic, but I'm pretty sure it's real. They used those inlays on the first year or so of Faded SGs, though I'm not sure they were available in brown or black. In addition to the changed hardware, it's also possibly been refinished.
Edit: Faded SGs were available in 2003 in brown with those inlays, so I'd vote real with swapped hardware.Last edited by dystrust; 05-09-2019, 08:22 PM.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener. Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

Good call on the inlays, those stuck out to me right away also because I bought a new Faded Flying V with the crescent moon inlays in 02 or 03 I can't remember, but it was the first year of production.87 Kramer Pacer Deluxe, 87 Kramer Pacer Imperial, 88 Kramer Nightswan, 83 Kramer V, 88 Kramer F3000, 87 Charvel Model-3, Charvel Jake mutt, > into some rack stuff.

Here’s one I had in my shop for a refret. The owner knows it’s fake. It’s not a bad guitar at all, but he only paid $350 for it.
