Fantastic vintage Gibson SG, all original. Purchased from Chicago Music Exchange, so everything has been inspected. The pickups on this one just sound fantastic and the Maestro Vibrola is my favorite vibrato arm - subtle and musical, very underrated. It does suffer from a heel crack which is almost a rite of passage for a vintage SG, but it has been repaired professionally and I never had any problems with it. Comes with the original Gibson 70's chainsaw case which is worth quite a bit. I have played some early 60's SGs and I find them quite unplayable due to their super thin necks, this one has that perfect '59 Les Paul neck. Get your Robbie Krieger on with this one !
