2011 Gibson SG Classic Electric Guitar in very good+ condition with only a few dents and dings on the lower bottom edge. These are what keeps the guitar from being considered in excellent condition. The guitar has a nice action and the slightly rounded SG profile neck with a bound rosewood fretboard has a nice comfortable feel. The frets are in excellent condition. The 2 P-90 pickups are what set this SG apart from the pack. They have an unmistakable tone that has been heard on many classic hits by the legends. The guitar is equipped with a tune-o-matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece and vintage style white button Gibson Deluxe tuners. This SG looks, plays and has a great vintage tone and vibe.  Includes a gig bag.Weight:      7 lbs.      1 oz.The guitar that won the hearts and minds of a generation.
Inspired by the 1960s SG Special, the Gibson SG Classic Electric Guitar with P-90 Pickups re-creates the look and sound of the most influential guitar in both Britain and the U.S. during the psychedelic era. It has the original all-mah body, dual P-90 pickups, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.A Little SG HistoryIn 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
