    Could be OK considering the paperwork, Grovers and case, but I have never seen one with asymmetrical horns before.

    The horns on an SG are actually asymmetrical

    Shouldn't have mentioned the sg on here, moved it to a separate threads on guitars.

    Might be wrong. 
    The guy is saying totally legit, sent me a pic of the head which looks OK.

    However it says 'Les Paul Custom' on the truss rod cover. He says special order and build from gak. Anyway it's a no from me...

    Phone Gibson and give them the serial number. Might be a special run that GAK bought a few of. But is it that "special"?

  • And would Gibson put a Les Paul Custom truss rod cover on a Custom build SG?

    The SRV is a tad over 8lb, so a nice weight. 

    It's interesting that the custom shops seem to be getting lighter and lighter.

    This is the same as my 2003 custom shop strat but my later custom shop strat is seven and a half pounds.

  • Totally personal opinion but I find the half pound loss effects depth of tone and sustain - the srv and 60 really kick but then I love the 7.5lb strat, as it feels really versatile. Not that others aren't too.
