Gibson SG Special 1961
1961 Gibson SG Special in honest player condition, with strong character and decades of real use. An original, expressive instrument with a compelling history.
This SG shows heavy, genuine wear with a few areas of exposed wood on the top, reflecting a lifetime of playing. The mahogany neck features a Flat C profile that feels comfortable and natural in hand. Weighing only 6 lbs, the guitar is highly resonant and exceptionally well balanced.
The original P-90 pickups deliver the raw, articulate tone early SG Specials are known for, with excellent dynamics and character. The electronics are fully original and untouched, with intact solder joints. The original aluminum wraparound bridge is installed.
The guitar comes with a brown Gibson hard case with pink plush interior, not original to the instrument.
