I don't really think that you'd mislead a buyer brucewayne and the truth of the matter is I'm just givin' you crap for the comment you made to me :) I'm not exactly sure why you'd be concerned about me selling my guitar dishonestly when I've gone out of my way to document it's origins on a public forum?
I just hope that Dweezil Zappa doesn't ever sell the 'baby snakes' SG and if he does he points out that IT's not a real Gibson even though it clearly has the logo on the headstock:
"The ?Baby Snakes SG,? was Zappa?s main guitar for the latter part of the ?70s. The guitar is not actually a Gibson, but rather the creation of ?a guy in Phoenix,? who made his way backstage and sold the guitar to Zappa for $500. Though its playing feel is a lot like a Gibson SG?s, closer inspection reveals such non-Gibson details as a 23rd fret and some nifty inlays and ornamental woodwork. Luthier/electronics maker Rex Bogue?the man who Zappa also tasked to bring Hendrix?s charred Miami Pop Festival Strat back to life?added various delights to this guitar, such as phase switches and an onboard preamp (Bogue passed away in 1996). Great googley moogley! Go to guitarplayer.com to see Dweezil Zappa run you through this guitar?s tones while plugged into his dad?s infamous Pignose amplifier."
...and then there's Slash with the Max Les Paul, etc. etc. etc.
-the thing is, I think we actually AGREE on the subject of fair disclosure. I don't have any problem putting a Gibson logo on my "replica" any more than hot rodders have putting Ford Cobra logos on their AC Cobra replicas however.
Anyway...back to the regularly scheduled programming...this thread is going WAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic.
