Since this thread seems to be turning into a catch-all for various guitar-related things, I have a question about my own guitar that I have asked many times and have never gotten an answer.
My Gibson SG is a "Firebrand". Made in 1982, if memory serves. I bought it brand new in 1983. The Gibson Firebrands were lower-end models with a natural wood finish that came primarily in walnut, IIRC. Anyway, this is where mine seems a little different. Mine's mahogany and is painted with what appears to be a vintage sunburst finish. I have never seen another "Firebrand" that was painted. I've never even talked to anyone who's seen a factory-painted Firebrand. What's up? Any ideas? The only place mine actually says "Firebrand" is on the truss rod cover. Maybe it's not actually a Firebrand?
What do you experts think?
BTW, it's been an excellent guitar. It's still totally stock.
Mike
