Vintage, red 1968 Gibson SG Special. It plays and sounds great, but it’s a player, not a showpiece. There’s significant wear to the finish; I’ve tried to show most of it in the pics. In a couple places it’s worn through to the wood. The pickguard and knobs have been replaced. The tuners were changed to locking keystone tuners at some point along the way, and also show some wear, but they still work great. I’m pretty sure the nut, bridge, & vibrato are original; if not, they're at least old, judging by the tarnishing. The pickups are Seymour Dunan Antiquity p90s; not original, but they sound like the originals. The wood is solid, no cracks anywhere; there are a couple deep dings (see pics). The neck is straight, action’s low. It’s set up for 09s. It’ll ship with normal strap pegs, not the locking ones that are on there now. (And, for what it’s worth, the Daredevil sticker is also vintage :D )I wish I loved it, because it’s a super cool guitar, but I just don’t like how SGs hang against the body. Someone give this guitar a good home.
