Pleased to offer this one owner 1964 Gibson SG Custom bought right here in Orlando, Florida in 1965. These early SG Customs were made in few numbers and the ones in excellent condition have become rare and hard to find. This is a great original example of the early SG Customs of the 1960s. Pots date to 14th week of 1965 but serial number points to 1964; a late ‘64 build waiting on pots is my bet.

There is a heel joint repair. About 15 years ago, the neck pocket was loosening so it was taken to a Luthier who reinforced it and inserted glue into the neck pocket. I personally spoke with the Luthier and had it inspected at Timeless Guitars.

The original finish is in excellent condition, some nice patina on the Maestro tailpiece. Original knobs, frets, pots and patent number pickups one small pot wire replaced.

Apparently the Gibson factory never hooked the middle pickup to the switch; therefore, it’s never been played! We are leaving as-is to preserve originality.

This guitar is one of those special ones that most of us want somewhere in our collections. The patent number pre-t top pickups sound impressive; powerful yet with headroom. It even has its original case. Priced to reflect heel repair.
