If it's a Faded then the price is nothing to write home about. I can't make up my mind either. Lack of block inlays would indicate a faded among today's models, but when the SG Standard was still called SG RI, all the gloss models only featured dot inlays too. The GoW Supremes were the first to have block inlays and that crept eventually over into the regular SG Bass models (except for the Faded models). I have a hunch it's a gloss though.
