If you're talking in Malaysia...... I don't think you CAN find replacement necks for the SG.......
And also..... correct me if I'm wrong (which I sure I am).... Gibson SGs don't have Bolt-on necks and only neck through. If you want to swap in a new Neck Through....... it's going to be super expensive. You can try calling up Woh Fatt for info...... but don't get your hopes up. |

the only way you can replace the neck with a real gibson neck is if you send it back to the custom shop in US.
else you have to find a real good luthier and put on a replica neck. |

Trust Everdying man.... He KNOWS all about SGs.......
Yes. You can re-fret them..... any good luthier should be able to. Maybe Tham can help out? And also, find it weird that the owner of Woh Fatt has 2 Ibanez guitars.... should he have kick-ass Gibsons??? |

im just wondering now if this guy has a real gibson or not.
from experience, gibson frets do not wear out so fast. |
