Description

This SG is sitting right in the sweet spot for speed, resonance and looks. The slim neck lends itself to quick playing up and down the fretboard without hesitation. Locking tuners are installed for tuning stability, but the original period correct tuners come in the case. Playing wear is present but nothing over the top. Considering the guitars age it is in very good condition, only missing two reflectors on the knobs and replaced strap buttons. This SG plays wonderfully, is resonant and continues to impress years later.

Comes in the original Gibson chainsaw case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
