Ouch ! Why ?

I think that instrument was in a house fire.

Hmmm ... this looks like a very intentional but not happy at all burn.

Hi @papagayo! Do you have the sin to confess?

Not me ...

If you never burned an SG it is ok then

 

[Tony M]

You ask why?
Because humans are just plain.....

Never mind.

I think it's kind of cool, actually. Unique, for sure and I'd probably do something like that on an Epi if I got it for $100 or so. I mean, why not?

At $500, though, no way. The price is way too high.

my sense of scam seems to scream:

RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM DEALS
INVOLVING GUITARS OWNED BY DRAGONS.

I think that instrument was in a house fire.
Difficult to strip the poly from an Epi, isn't it?
I'd pass, there are so many great
guitars for sale that are no more and
no less than they seem.

Based on the signature "thumbprint" heat spots on it, I'd say someone used a portable blowtorch on it. Many spots are visible where the person kept the flame on it longer than on other areas. Using a Bic lighter for the effect wouldn't be feasible.

Those spots where it's all the way to the woodgrain shows the various angles he was holding the flame, too.

Maybe they were trying to remove the poly like on a Fender

Kinda looks cool. If it was cheap af and sounded good, I'd probably just keep it like that.

I personally have never understood the idea of "relicing". Trashing a beautiful guitar! Of course owning a guitar that belonged to a noted guitarist that has some "honest" wear would be cool!

Could not agree more. I was just assuming that mess in OP was some kind of accident like a burn from 115 degree heat or something.

Call the seller and tell em go **** yourself lol

Looks like somebody got jiggy with a blowtorch! Damn shame....
