    You have to wonder why somebody who appears to have made some attempt to observe Gibson design conventions in some areas then abandoned them when it came to the drilled cable channel into the control cavity?

    Allowing for photographic aberrations, the holes for the Tune-O-Matic bridge are off centre and do not seem to have the requisite intonation compensation angle factored in. The stop tail, on the other hand, appears to have been given a compensation angle that it does not actually need.

    In my opinion, the claimed wood varieties should be proven with receipts from a reputable tonewood supplier. If the rosewood is old enough to be CITES exempt, there ought to be documentary evidence for that.

    My favourite part of the item description is the term "pot holes". Obviously, the vendor intended this to mean the drilling work for the controls. Given the finesse of some of the handiwork, I cannot help of thinking about the sort of potholes found in the roads.

    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

  • Actually, my favourite part of the description is the bit about "...made to the original Gibson SG plans" - because there has only ever been one SG model, and they're all the same spec/dimensions, aren't they? :)

    Well, they are supposed to be.

    Some of the early Seventies production got seriously odd. In recent times, on some variants, constructive use has been made of the gap between the twenty second fret and the neck position pickup by extending the fingerboard to add two extra frets.

    Maybe, just maybe, one day, Gibson will get the notion to equip the SG with a Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar vibrato tailpiece.

    Actually no, the bevels are different across the years. The neck and headstock sizes also change according to what model etc. Not to mention the variety of finishes, nitro, faded, natural, etc etc.

    But you already know all that.
