Description

This 1965 SG is a player grade ripper with plenty of mods and mojo to go around. The original pickup has been upgraded with and routed for a late 60's T-Top and it's been re-wired with 500k Vintage Inspired Pots resulting in a perfect gain-ready thick tone. It was refinished a long time ago as well, with plenty of checking as if it were original. As far as hardware, the knobs, tuners and bridge and studs have been replaced. It's benefitted from a refret as well. If you're looking for a true vintage rock companion, look no further!

Includes gig bag.
