Wow, great sales ploy.

The case is original but the guitar is a faker, just thrown in to have something in the case.

And the "relic" thing, well, some things AREN"T BeautifuL:

"This relic guitar has beautiful ... weather checking, pick rash, belt buckle rash, and arm rash."

Yes, beautiful arm rash. Sign me up!

This seller has some of the most amateurishly-"relicked" junk I've seen. The Strat body is especially nasty.

The SG has "growling duell humbuckers", or is it "duelling growl humbuckers"?

i've seen this same guitar on a post on the Gibson site. It is a FAKE. The headstock & Gibson logo's are wrong. Don't get me started on the body. The case is not Gibson also. That guitar is not even good for firewood.
