    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:
