So I have this crazy idea

[80's_Metal]

Weren't there a handful of cheaper SG models with a satin finish and no grain filler? They weren't as 'lumpy' as the BFGs but they still looked like a project in shop class.

There are the voodoo models, but those aren't cheap.
There are faded models I think?

If you're skilled go for it, if not, buy a practice body first

Might be skilled, might just be brave.
Remember what I did to my BFG a few years ago ha ha

But also ... I need another guitar like another hole in the head....
I should be focused on selling a few off!

At least you don't have to register them and get insurance
like if you collect cars

The good news is . . . if you do this to a guitar, it will be a guitar you own for life. (Since nobody else will ever want to buy it from you.)

Yeah, the faded models. That's what they were called.

S series
miy green LP is part of the faded S series

Both my Gibsons have the "faded" satin Nitro finish. Or variations of it. After a while, it kinda starts looking like shit. Or awesome, wether you like the worn look or not, LOL.

I think the faded series was an attempt to get a low priced USA Gibson to compete with higher priced Epis. The ones I've played were good guitars- I am not someone who likes glossy paint or binding or bling much, anyway.

I have a well used faded V, (that I bought used from a pawn shop) and it's hands down my favorite guitar ever. It's starting to get discolored in normal wear spots. I think it looks cool enough. It plays and sounds absolutely perfect for me.

I paid 4 times as much for my Natural V as I did for my faded V.

 

[ehdwuld]

Oh gawd!! That made me puke a little.

I was thinking a little more like this with the studs

Do this but use diamond earrings and bedazzle it

That way it will FLASH when the spotlight hits you

KK had some interesting taste.

 

[80's_Metal]

Wow, I am surprised they are that expensive. They shouldn't go for that much.

But I mean Just Look at this Beauty..... Ha ha ha it gives me a pretty special feeling with all that rough wood, and none of that plastic binding .... Ha ha ha

Dayyyyng seggsy I say.

They did pick some ugly colors for that model, though.
