A superfine reissue original spec Gibson SG for under 3 grand? Yes please!

1961 was the first year of the Gibson SG. Originally the SG was known as the Les Paul, as it was considered an evolution of the previous solid body Gibson, which ceased production following the introduction of the new design. To avoid confusion, the guitar’s moniker SG (or Solid Guitar) quickly became the conventional name, to differentiate between it and the earlier Les Paul model. 

This Gibson SG is a lightweight 3.4kg powerhouse of rock and roll. At 21 years old this guitar presents in excellent condition, with some minor light pick guard scratches and light pitting on the nickel finish. Nickel plating is softer than chrome and more susceptible to the elements. This, as well as the subtly aged nitro finish give this guitar a visually appealing “closet classic” kind of appeal. This guitar has been looked after and aside from some very light markings on the finish there are no substantial marks on the instrument. 

At 43.2mm nut width, the neck has a nice wide and slim profile. Access to the entire fretboard is a breeze. The original frets have approximately 80 percent of life left in them.

This guitar is set up with low 1.8mm action and a straight neck. There is evidence of slight fret levelling in places and some minor pitting. This guitar was made in Nashville. It also features a Nashville style bridge. This style of bridge has slightly wider adjustment on each string saddle, and steel inserts in the body, where the bridges height adjustment comes from.

This guitar has reproduction top hat knobs, which are the standard for 1961. The little metal indicators for the volume and tone knobs have been removed at some stage. Other than that this guitar presents as completely original with original hard shell case. 

A very nice PAF loaded SG that looks and sounds the business.
