schundog Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 So I'm in a pawn shop today, checking to see what might be waiting for a new home, and see a like new Gibson SG, black, no pickup covers, meh....Nice, just not my style. Then, as I'm about ready to leave, I spot a familiar looking headstock from the back. "No way, is that a Heritage?! " I thought. I peeked at the price tag, $200ish, and I started to get excited!! I turned it over and....Vantage!!! Bummer...
tulk1 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Bummer it wasn't a cool Heritage for $200! But, Vantage made some nice and interesting guitars. Might have been a decent buy.

schundog Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 smurph1, Haha!! So I guess you DON'T like pawn shops, you DO like Black SGs with dots and uncovered buckers, and figure I DON'T know my A$$ from my elbow if I think a Vantage looks like a Heritage!! LOL. BTW, the one pictured is not the one I saw in the shop, I just went searching for a headstock photo online, and this one matched up(except the one in the pawnshop didn't have extra tuner screwholes drilled.)

Man I Love pawnshops!! I bought a kick A## American Tele in one many years ago for about half of what it was worth..(Butterscotch with maple board) I still miss that thing..No I just thought it was wrong you couldn't pickup a sweet Heritage for 200 clams..
FredZepp Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Ha... good story. It would have been soooo cool to find some screamin' good deal on a Heritage... that would make my day. I never had luck finding anything with our local pawn shop, but the Heritage find... that would be a dream.
