Gibson is arguably the king of the guitar world, having produced countless classic instruments.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and Shinji Wajima.
This model is an SG Junior manufactured in 1965.
It comes in Polaris White, a colorway that was produced in much smaller numbers than the classic Cherry.
The SG, which debuted in 1961, quickly captivated many guitarists and continues to be a staple of the rock scene today.
Gibson is known for the Les Paul, a masterpiece of rock guitar, but compared to that, the SG's tone is characterized by a crystal-clear, bell-like tone.
If the Les Paul has a rich sound, the SG's sound could be described as sharp.
The body and neck are made of mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of rare Jacaranda.
Extensive weather-checking throughout the body adds to the guitar's unique aesthetic.
It features a single dog-ear P-90 pickup.
The sound produced by this golden combination of a high-quality mahogany body and a vintage P-90 pickup, a combination that has continued from the 1950s to the present day, is truly superb.
The control cavity finish and nut width reveal that although this is a 1965 model, it follows the specifications of a 1964 model.
This is a historic instrument, and we highly recommend you consider purchasing it.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works and the neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show signs of weathering overall, with scratches, dents, and paint peeling, all consistent with its age.
Please carefully examine the photos.
The tuning machines are loose, and the 3rd and 4th string tuning machines are bent.
The potentiometers and wiring have been replaced (manufacturer unknown).
The Vibratola tremolo has been replaced (the customer believes it was made in 1967, but we were unable to determine this).
The nut has been replaced and the instrument refretted.
