Vintage 68 Gibson SG Special in wine red. This guitar is mostly original. Pots are date the last week of 1968. When I purchased the guitar 20 years ago it did not have any PU's in it. I'm assuming that it came with P90's but not sure. I bought T Top Hum buckers and had them installed by Lays Guitar shop. The guitar body was NOT routed for the Humbuckers to fit. Lays made a new pickguard to accomodate the T Top Humbuckers. I have the original pickguard, but it is unusable and is included in the sale. The bridge, Whammy bar, pots and Gibson tuners? are original. Stickered T Top humbuckers are one of the most sought after pickups after the PAF's series from the late 50's/early 60's and can run around $500+ per set. These are stickered PAF's as shown in the pics. I had Lays Guitar repair a hairline crack in the back of the neck by the headstock. They said that it is glued and stronger than original. It has some darkening in finish where the crack was repaired (see pics). Again all repair and finish work was done by Lays Guitar. The guitar is in over all great shape and plays and sounds incredible.
