I didn't expect...........

after owning this guitar a little over 6 months for the Nitro and the paint on my Faded SG "Worn Cherry" to start giving way so soon. I do practice about 1-2 hours daily AND play out 2x a week. Not to mention this is my "go to" guitar for everything. On the neck and on the body where my elbow rests on it. I'm not complaining but when they said that these were some thin skinned guitars .... paint and nitro ...... they weren't kidding.


Anyone else have this type of thing with a faded series by gibson?

Yea ive even helped mine along in a few places ...........(around knobs,neck ,arm area on upper part of an LP)


I love the finish and mine is tv yellow and hot rodded baby!!!!!:rockon:


I also love this type finish on the highway 1 strats ,owning several and using several bodies on frankenstrats:AOK:

There isn't near as much nitro applied to the faded finishes as there is to those high gloss finishes, and that satin finish will wear much sooner than a high gloss one.

The faded Gibbies are work horses.......................let them wear with honor. :D

Would these be Gibson fadeds? Or Epi fadeds?
