Hello everybody, I'm new here. I've played a couple of Epiphones recently, which I really liked so I thought it was about time I got one. I was most impressed with the Epiphone SG I played so that's what I decided to go for. Unfortunately I think I may have picked up a dodgy one.
I've looked at the serial number conversation on here but my serial number doesn't seem to fit anything. It either starts with 19 (which doesn't appear between 18 and 20 on the SN examples for some reason) or it starts I9, which could be Indonesia?.....but also doesn't seem to check out.
It was also suspiciously cheap and the serial number was too small to read on the ad so I didn't get the chance to check it until I got it. The lad I bought it from swears he's had it from new and bought it in the 90s.
Can anyone help? All comments appreciated even the ones that may call my intelligence into doubt :-) I've added some photos of the guitar. Whatever it is it needs a good clean!
