Mystery Electric Guitar -- Can You Identify It?

The toggle switch is off (i think, this is by memory) but otherwise it looks like a Gibson SG. Cool guitars. they are basically a LP with a thinner body and other changes.

Could also be an SG clone. Hard to tell without seeing the headstock.

I agree with hueseph, it's almost certainly a clone. The stoptail is too far away from the bridge for a real Gibbo.
I think it looks a little odd, because one of the black knobs is missing

Looks like an old Gibson SG. Gibson because of the fret inlays. SG because of the body style.

I could have sworn this was one of those Esteban TV guitars painted with a couple of pickups added :lol:

Interesting forearm guard; that might help in the identification, but I've never seen one like it.

Two pointers that it isn't Gibbo - the pickguard is the wrong shape, even for the '61 reissue (if you look at a real SG, the pickguard continues up between the frets and right into the lower "horn"- the guitar pictured doesn't have that) and, as I said before, the stoptail is much too far away from the bridge to be a Gibbo (unless it is a conversion from the trem version).
On top of that, I don't think the fretboard inlays are the right shape for Gibbo

No way - this guitar looks far too shabby to be an Esteban. :lol: :lol:

The picture is to fuzzy.

I just found this pic, it's a 1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard. It looks pretty darn close to the picture above minus the cover at the bottom.

I'm guessing it's a Gib that's been modified a bit.

Tracker,

compare the shape of the pickguard. The Gibbo has plastic between the pups, the "mystery guitar" doesn't. The Gibbo has a pickguard that follows the contours of the lower "horn", the other one doesn't.

I agree, the picture is very fuzzy and makes accurate comparison difficult. I just think that they are different.

Sorry but, I have to move these pic's closer for a better look.

Well at least we know one thing, it's a remake of the original 1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard. I think we can all agree on that. Who made the "mystery guitar" is going to be hard without having a picture of the headstock.

i cant see those differences in the pickguard greybeard, it may be the angle ..

Taso, try the image here

Looking closely, you can even see 2 screws, between the pups, which the unknown does not have.

The differences in the stoptail are also pretty evident

AH, yeah i see the pick guard difference now...the mystery guitar seems to have a less abrupt curve for the horn, and it doesnt go as close...got ya grey$
