Description

Gibson's radically shaped SG guitar was ergonomic in that it allowed upper fret access. Just like the Les Paul shape before it, there was top tier Standard model with humbuckers, a middle tier double P90, and a lower tier single P90. This example is a little extra special because it has a factory original tremolo system. To make the system work, a replacement lightning bolt bridge has been notched for strings to not slip off the ridge. At some point, this guitar suffered a headstock break and was sub sequentially repaired, lacquered over, and had razor finish checking to simulate age. It plays great.

Comes with vintage blue lined velvet hardshell case.
