Hi there, this listing is for my Limited edition Gibson SG Standard. It was part of a limited run Gibson did in 2011 of 4 colours. This on is in Natural burst which is not a common colour at all, I've never seen another one in person. It has a great feeling neck and the action is spot on too. It sounds like an SG should and really nails that AC/DC sound. It looks amazing too, the natural burst is an awesome colour and really looks amazing. It's in good condition too. I'll be sad to see this one go but I just play bass now. Everything is fully working, no issues. Pictures below are of the actual guitar for sale. Comes with Gibson Hard case. 
SG Standard Limited Unleashed on an unsuspecting guitar scene 50 years ago, the SG Standard was an overnight success. This sleek, double-cutaway rocker had a slim, light body but no shortage of power, and the kind of fast playability that the guitar world had not previously experienced. Although the single-cutaway Les Paul that it had replaced would be back in play later in the '60s, the SG was here to stay, a new rock icon in its own right. Now Gibson USA presents a classically appointed SG with all of the tone, features and playability of the original vintage model, but dressed in four stunning new finish options—Antique Cherry, Natural Burst, Cream and Vintage Sunburst—all in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Crafted from traditional tonewoods and loaded with the finest electronics and hardware, the SG Standard Limited offers the kind of timeless tone and power that have made this guitar's presence felt for five decades. Like the original SGs of the '60s and all of the classic variations since, the Gibson USA SG Standard Limited has a body crafted from solid mahogany in the asymmetrical "double-horned" deep double-cutaway design (Grade-A mahogany under the translucent 'burst and Cherry finishes). A light and supremely resonant wood, mahogany gives this guitar outstanding tonal richness and depth, with plenty of clarity and sustain. Coupled with the SG's characteristic beveled body edge—a big part of this model's distinctive styling—the mahogany's light weight also enhances playing comfort. The guitar's quarter-sawn mahogany neck is carved to a rounded profile that feels superb in the hand. It is glued into the body with Gibson's acclaimed deep-set neck joint, and topped with a fingerboard of baked maple, a heat-treated wood with a dark, rich appearance, great durability and a clear tone. Acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl headstock logo and holly inlay, and a traditional pickguard round out this eye-catching package. To equip this guitar with equally legendary tone, Gibson USA loads the SG Standard Limited with a pair of its most popular humbucking pickups. The 490R in the neck position is made with an Alnico II magnet and wound to vintage specs for plenty of warm vocal tones with impressive clarity. The 498T in the bridge position has an Alnico V magnet for more punch, and a few more turns of coil wire for a hotter performance overall, giving you everything from meaty crunch to searing leads. Your tone is anchored by the classic pairing of a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, with a set of vintage-style TonePros™ tuners installed at the other side of the PLEK-cut Corian nut. Add it up, and the SG Standard Limited is one cooking slab of mammoth vintage mojo.
