there's no doubt in my mind that i want a Gibson SG Special. but when looking at information for both, i noticed that their specs are pretty much identical (besides the paint job) but their prices are about $300-$400 apart. are there any differences that

It's just the finish. One's not 'cheaper' than the other. The faded takes longer to accomplish so there are extra labor costs involved. Also a chance to make more profit. The fade is just to make the guitar looked vintage and fool the unwashed masses

there are 2 $500 barely used faded sgs for sale at the guitar shop.
in worn cherry and brown.
is this a good deal?
what upgrades can you do to them?
can you paint the body black or gloss it? for how much?
Thats a pretty decent deal. However, make sure you look at all the hardware and electronics to see if they work.
If you want to customize down the road... you can add new pickups for different tonal characteristics.
