Gibson SG Reissue bass white

[RBB Bassist]

Have wanted an SG bass since I was in High School so I found one that I liked at a guitar center out of state. Listing showed great condition for around $870. Called and spoke with staff about it. Guy said he was looking right at it and looked good. Unfortunately it wasn't the same bass. Long story short thinking I was getting the red one he sold me white one which wasn't even listed at the store. An hour or so later the wife came into room screaming what did I order. Turns out it was a "Used Gibson EB3 LTD Vintage White Guitar" at $1499. We tried to cancel but they said it was already in shipping department (later get email days later saying it was just shipped) and couldn't cancel it. Serial number shows it was maDe in MARCH 2008 so it's a reissue.

Question is would anyone keep it or just get a refund since I can find a 60's vintage for around the same price.

I’d consider if my wife will get over it or divorce me. Either way, if I had the money, I’d probably keep it.

I'd return it, to be honest. The current Gibson SG basses are nice instruments, but not worth the 1500$ price tag (rather lacklustre electronics).

Considering used ones in red and black pop up in the $800-$1000 range pretty regularly, I’d return it. I don’t think having white is worth $500+ more.

I'm confused, so you ordered a bass for $870 and they sent you a different one and charged you $1499?

Typo. Bad habit of hitting caps key.

If this were a multiple choice question I'd say keep the guitar and lose the wife.

There was a white Gibson SG bass at Norman’s Rare Guitars listed at $1850.

Does it have the ebony board? Regardless, like I said earlier, I’d keep it. The white is far more rare, and I love the finish. I personally own a 2015 in Cherry, and it’s a great bass (finicky with strings, though).

I’d shoot for a discount. I’d be pretty upset if I were unexpectedly up-charged. I think any reasonable seller would agree.
