Description

What makes this guitar special: This SG is a fantastic player’s piece head to toe. The D shape neck and smaller nut width make playing an absolute breeze, especially for players with smaller hands or those who like extended reach over the neck/fingerboard. The vibrato tailpiece adds extra dynamic to what is normally a pretty straight-forward build. The pickups are warm and smooth with a bit more depth in the neck and articulation in the bridge. It has various love marks throughout, which proves it was well-loved, often played and makes it perfectly worn in, but also ensures the next owner won’t have to worry a second about adding any more. If you’re looking for a cool vintage SG that’s not spotless but still sounds and plays great, this guitar’s for you.

Condition: This SG is in good condition overall, if not better. It does have various nicks, dings, dents, chips, gauges, scratches, and other forms of wear, but still looks pretty good for its age and plays the same. The frets show mild wear but still have a good amount of life left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.

Body: Double cutaway contoured mahogany body in Walnut finish. 4-ply black pickguard. Fixed adjustable bridge and vibrato tailpiece. Black speed knobs.
   
Neck: Medium depth D shape mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with small block inlays. 1 9/16” nut width. Replaced Schaller tuning machines. 24 ¾” scale.

Electronics: Gibson covered humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.

Neck: 5.32k Ohms

Bridge: 7.86k Ohms

Weight: 7 lbs 3.8 oz

Playability/Sound: The D shape neck is perfectly complemented by a thinner nut width, the pair of which plays very easily from the cut to the cutaway. The pickups are surprisingly smooth and yet still have a good amount of big and full sound in the neck with some added brightness in the bridge.

Case: Includes original hardshell case.
