Pics Of My Latest Acquisition_2000 Gibson USA Angus Young SG

[DrNomis_44]

Dr Nomis, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty sure that right there is a fake.

A few things.

-the pickguard is the wrong shape
-the switch cover is black not cream
-the knobs are wrong
and the big one
-The bridge uses slotted adjustment heads. Gibson NEVER does that.

Apart from the fact that someone was willing to trade a sub $1000 guitar for a guitar worth over $5k.
Please get it checked out and maybe think about getting your strat back.

The bridge is what's called a Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic (which does use slotted adjustment screws), Gibson used to use them before they switched over to the Nashville Bridge (which uses the phillips head style screws).


The guitar I traded for the SG was a 2010 Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster I bought from Top End Sounds for Au $999.00.


Some Genuine Gibson USA SG Standard guitars actually did have scratchplates shaped same like the one on my SG:
