"It's in my parents attic," he says, "why?" I'm now having a flashback to a couple of years before when I played the guitar briefly. I remember the SG and ask him what happened to it. It's got to be a fake.Īnyway fast forward to tonight and I'm sat in his front room looking at his new guitar proudly displayed on the stand - an Epiphone Dot. The colour was right, but the paint looked like it was done in the factory.
The wrap-around has been replaced with a Badass bridge (nothing really wrong with that, it was a common mod), but the finish is weird instead of being a cherry stain it was cherry paint. So I get a chance to inspect the guitar at last and sure enough it looks like an SG/LP Jr, but immediately I see something not right about it.
So he bought it, played a handful of gigs with it, left university and, inevitably, the band fell apart and he moved back home. Only got one pickup though." I went on to say that the Gordon Smith was a great guitar for the price, but if he could get the Gibson at the advertised price of £60 (!?) he was onto a winner. says it's a Les Paul on the headstock, but looks like an SG to me. I'm in my local music shop and there are two guitars here in my price range. At the time he only had a Yamaha acoustic in his possession and so needed a cheap electric and an amp to get the gig. Now, he's not really into guitars like me he just likes to strum a few songs every now and then, but he's a good solid rhythm player. About three years ago my friend was at University and was asked to join a band on rhythm guitar.
