Description: Magnificent combination factory Gibson/Epiphone collaboration original rare gem. After looking at other listings there were many other faulty inconsistencies. I have had several SG’s to compare to and this is mostly comparable to my Gibson 2014 reissue Gibson SG Standard not my Epiphone’s. Furthermore, these guitars (at that time) were produced for a limited time in Korea or Japan who excelled in quality (as opposed to China) and produced these to replicate Gibson and their embellishments (not Epiphone) having both names on the headstock and a neck designed like Gibson. The only difference is I had this guitar finished far superior than my Gibson’s. Look at the last pic of another magnificent Gibson SG standard for comparison. I gave this Guitar to my master painter to put wet sand and paint several clear coats to give it that luxurious candy apple finish. It came out incredible as you can see with the lights reflecting in the pics I supplied. This guitar came out like glass and blows away my Gibson of the era and some of know there was a time when Gibson was not in point. I supplied some of my other guitars for your comparing in my pics for your review and comparing. Some of the differences in this edition are the Gibson fretboard rectangle inlays as opposed to the typical dots and Gibson’s tuners where some other listings are incorrect. This guitar was made with limited production having Gibson influence also seen on the tuning pegs as opposed to the crappy pegs on some Epiphone’s. You can see this in my pics on my other stock Epiphone in the last 2 pics. There is a slight indent in the back which I point out and minimally visible by eye and a tiny tip on the right corner of the headstock. All barely insignificant and minimal and hardly noticeable. Otherwise, outstanding for all these years. It is mostly identical to my Gibson’s where there is no buzz or hum, its design and the humbucker are awsome. The neck shows near no wear as I rarely ever played it. It’s a showpiece in my display room not my player. The action is to my liking but you may want to intonate and set action to your liking. If I put tape in the name you may very well choose this over my others at more than 3 times the price. Since this listing I dumped my Gibson’s but kept this one. This guitar doesn’t exsist anymore and it’s a great collector steal at my price. I don’t have refunds so I encourage your questions or additional pics if required. My reputation is 100% for over 10 years her as well as other sites and attempt to give my best evaluation and desire to keep it that way. I never had any issues on my numerous sales. I am quite sure of your being thrilled with this buy. I am pricing this $300 less than ebays recommended price guide. Looking forward to your comments if needs. Thank you for using me Bob
