Woodinblack Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It looks the same style as the firebrands that came slightly later, with a control panel like the LP Recording. But yes, it certainly looks like a SB 450 that someone has replaced the bridge on for a modern version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 [url=http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/SB.php]Yes - but it's an SB not an SG bass[/url]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only non-original item I can see is the extra mini-toggle switch on the control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Also the strap button's been moved from the heel to the bottom edge of the top horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Well, if anyone here bought it and decide it isn't for them, I'd be keen to give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
