I listen to a podcast called Gibson vs fender and they explained how Leo left and started G&L because he felt the quality of the low ended guitars had slipped but was unaware about Les Paul. My budget was originally 1200. My plan: help local shop but a Mexican strat of some kind. Now I’m gonna almost double that lol. I don’t have a SG In the collection and thought this was a cool one. They had others but they were over $3500. If I’m spending that kinda money I’m buying a ES 335 with the bars on the neck. I can’t spend that right now so I felt like this scratches the itch of filling a hole in the collection and the need to buy ALL THE GUITARS LOL. It is concerning that it isn’t all period correct. Are you saying I shouldn’t buy? Or that i should look at a similar priced model? I know nothing about sg’s and until recently didn’t see myself buying one for a while but then this one appeared. I figured the guy may do a good deal for me seeing how they didn’t want to order me a new stardard because it would take months. I’m gonna call today and ask if they could blow this one out. Let me know what you think I respect this boards knowledge on guitars and I’ve learned a lot
thanks
