This 1970 SG Custom features a 3 pickup layout, with a vibrola tremolo. It has a great looking working-man's aesthetic, with the Walnut finish complimented by the white pickguard. The real value in this guitar is in it's playability - it's simply a joy to play! Everything came together well on this one, and anyone who picks it up will likely agree. Repair-wise it does have a heel repair, which is visible under the pickguard, and does have some touch up over the top. The typical gold hardware has been changed to chrome, along with the knobs being replaced as well. It comes with an older Gibson chipboard case.
