Description
What’s special about this guitar: This is a highly comfortable vintage melody maker SG that has been modified with a great looking refinish and a single Gibson humbucker in the bridge. This is now a very unique, one-of-a-kind Gibson with an extremely comfortable feel and great sound.
Condition: This guitar has been heavily modified and is in great shape overall. There are a few light surface scratches and a few small dings and chips throughout the guitar. Some of the original weather checking is visible beneath the finish. The bass side of the fingerboard has shrunk just a bit leaving a slight unevenness between the neck and fingerboard. This does not affect playability however. All electronics and parts have been changed/modified and all are in perfect working condition. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear and tons of life left in them. The neck is nice and straight with comfortable action and the truss rod functions perfectly.
Body: Solid double-cutaway body refinished in a metallic raspberry. Leo Quan Badass bridge with six individual saddles, dual skirted control knobs and a hand-cut single-ply black pickguard. Back plate was also cut by hand but works fine.
Neck: Super comfortable, slender neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Pearloid dot inlays and a 1 9/16” nut. Three-on-a-strip deluxe tuners with ivoroid buttons, 24 ¾” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Newer model Gibson humbucker in the bridge with master volume and tone controls.
Humbucker: 7.86K Ohms.
Weight: 6lbs, 4.0oz.
