I don't usually plug merchants or manufacturers, but I think this may be of interest to you guys. Guitar Trader (888-448-4828) is offering 'faded' Gison SG guitars in Brown or Cherry. The online list price is $577, but according to their newsletter, these guitars are being sold over the phone for $499!

I haven't been tracking Gibson prices, but that sounds very good. And these things look just like my old '62, except that the neck pickup is a little further away from the neck joint, so it should be stronger.
