A Gibbo SG with acorns and oak leaves? Who made who?

Wouldn't really interest me either way, personally - that acorn motif always struck me as a tad too rustic and folksy for the SG shape.

Strange hybrid guitar, though.

To the best of my knowledge, 60's Gibby SG Jr.'s were single pick-up P-90's, which THAT certainly is not.

That doesn't even look like a true lefthander. Are those filled holes on the lower bout?

indeed

with all of the other obvious mods on that thing i'd assume it was a (possibly guild inspired) touch added by the owner... not to mention that its listed smack in the middle of the laundry list of other non-og characteristics... nice guitar tho. i have no qualms with a rustic shred machine.

That is an odd one. I'm thinking that someone took an S-100c as a model and diligently copied its oak leaf/acorn pattern onto the body of this.

That carving looks VERY similar to the old S-100c, but it's missing the oak leaf/acorn carving on the upper horn. Plus the horns are definately more SG type. For comparison, here's my '74 S-100c (taken when I bought it for $500 clams a while back w/out its original HB1s. It now has HB1s). Check out how similar the artwork looks - pretty good job of copying the lower body carving I'd say...
