It's a rocked out SG2 with Gibson humbuckers. Seller brought it from Caracas, Venezuela 2 years ago where he lived. He got it on a trade and neglected it for years. I've got it for about 600 dollars, which is pretty freakin awesome in these latitudes.
Pickguard and body have been carefully yet still horribly routed. I mean it's a well-done job but why??
Frets are fucking tiny (noticeable smaller than vintage Fender frets) and worn, so a refret is coming right away. The neck is awesome. it feels similar to my 59 JM but with a bit less of taper. It also reminds me of an AVRI neck.
Tuners are a replacement, they seem to hold good. 3 height screws were missing from the bridge; a hardware store custom cut them for me. Gave it a shim, a setup and fresh strings and it feels amazing. TRem feels nice but the arm is totally floppy, gotta think of a fix, since staytrem won't save me this time.
Pups are Gibson branded on the back, I reckon they are from the 90's or 00's. Neck pickup sounds very nice, bridge is disconnected, and the electronics look kinda wonky, so they'll need attention too.
Long gone are the ultra cool dome knobs
Been toying with the idea of eventually restoring it. However, parts are hard to come by, (would need pups + pickguard), and I have few guitars with humbuckers so I wouldn't mind keeping it as is for a while. For now, refresh the electronics and much needed nickel pickup covers will suffice for me to be very happy with this guitar. I dig its personality, love the stickers too! And the strap, which came sewn around the posts
