1961 Gibson SG / Les Paul Special

Lightweight! Only 6.4lbs!

Original Vintage Electric Guitar

KILLER Player's Grade SG, Exceptional Tone and Playability!

Fresh out of the Make’n Music private collection – We are pleased to offer this original vintage 1961 Gibson SG Special for sale! It looks awesome (great color!) and is a truly fantastic sounding and excellent playing, player’s grade vintage guitar. It’s also super lightweight at only 6.4lbs. Just a joy to play for hours on end. The neck is the typical, slim ’61 carve with the usual 1 - 11/16” nut width.

The guitar is essentially all original – Two great sounding P-90 Pickups, all four Pots, Switch, Harness, Tuners, Plastics, etc… all correct. However, a few details have been changed and repaired... It was originally fitted with a Maestro Vibrola which has been removed and is not included. It was not the typical long or short style, but the less common VBM one (I don’t know the exact name of that). Regardless, most people prefer not to have it and if you absolutely must I am sure it can be sourced online. The wraparound bridge is also not original - it is an aged, lightweight Tone Pros reproduction. The studs are not Tone Pros but they are also not original to the guitar. It has been refretted with taller wire, which are or are similar to a 6105, and really feel great. The headstock has also been repaired and the finish touched up in that area, as well as some light overspray over the entire guitar (when I say light, I mean very light - so light you could probably buff it out and not notice, as even the original fine checking is all present and comes through). There also appears to be a repair to the body around the electronics cavity area, but this is not super noticeable unless you really look hard. All repairs are stable and seem to have been done long ago. Other than that, dings, dents and checking throughout, but nothing else serious.

Included is the impossibly rare, brown chipboard case with a replacement handle. The original handle is in the case along with an old sock (ha!) and a sticker from our favorite purveyors of fine vintage guitars KILLER VINTAGE! (Hi Dave! Thanks for selling me this one – I had a lot of fun with it). Like all our used/vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get.
