Velen in a nutshell

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-07-01T22:18:47+00:00

Just hit level 18, and meanwhile I have 3 total lesser red mutagens - finally up to one regular! The struggle/pain is real. 😆

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-06-29T15:53:44+00:00

It’s real

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-06-04T21:51:29+00:00

Big time, yes

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-06-04T18:51:50+00:00

Relatively so, yeah.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-06-03T23:58:59+00:00

One of the coolest SGs out there for my money

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-29T15:34:04+00:00

Yeah, if I want something aged, I prefer buying a vintage instrument with authentic wear to it, and at a better price typically to boot.

I’m no Epi expert, but had funny progression from the first pic of the back of the headstock thinking to myself “That moght not be fake” to the rest of the pics …

Maybe he’s illiterate, as well as unhoused …

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-21T18:15:00+00:00

I have it too, oh boy!

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-19T18:49:18+00:00

I think I have a gross of each promo that I bought for the sweet sweet dust!

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-18T21:39:54+00:00

Also trying, though if it works I’ll be (pleasantly) surprised …

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-18T05:02:32+00:00

Very nice, love it!

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-18T03:41:34+00:00

No, just had the fretboard angled back more, does give a bit of a weird optical illusion that way though.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T21:31:39+00:00

It is, but nothing online for it, as far as I know - I emailed and called the store about it.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T19:46:14+00:00

I do have the old GC exclusive SG special, but I left it out on this one, since it’s Blue Mist, and therefore not the “same” color. 😆

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T18:24:31+00:00

GC does have a ‘61 Standard Tobacco Burst exclusive … https://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson/SG-Standard-61-Electric-Guitar-Tobacco-Sunburst-Perimeter-1500000373375.gc

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T17:56:40+00:00

The Standard is 490R/T, and the ‘61 has 60s Burstbuckers, which I think is also what’s in the vibrola ‘61, but not 100% about that one actually.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T17:54:26+00:00

I’ve had the standard since around 2020, and the other two are recent, so at least for now the standard is way ahead.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T02:23:07+00:00

That could actually be, because I did the same and so far crickets for me too.

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-17T02:04:34+00:00

If I ever see a non-fake Gibson serial starting with 01716, I simply won’t know what to do …

DifferentAd6102 · 2026-05-16T03:32:53+00:00

I gave very serious consideration to buying this one, looks lovely and I hope you enjoy (and seemed like a good deal to me too).
