1971 Gibson SG Special Walnut, Good, Original Hard case

Summary: The SG Special evolved out of the Les Paul Special in the early '60s when Gibson introduced the SG as its primary solid-body shape. The Special was conceived as a more affordable, parred-down take on SG Standard, and this designation persists till today. This particular Gibson has a beautiful walnut finish, original pickups, original vibrato system, original tuning keys & the original case.

Neck: Fully bound mahogany neck with dot inlays, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, vibrato tremolo system, original Gibson Deluxe tuning keys with white buttons. The nut width is 1 9/16” and the scale length is 24.75”.

Pickups/Hardware: 2 P-90 pickups, 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, 3-way switch. Chrome hardware, original vibrato system, original Gibson Deluxe tuning keys, original pickguard. The tremolo arm is an era correct vintage reproduction and is included in the case

Cosmetics: This instrument does have nicks & dings consistent with a used but not abused guitar from 1971. The frets are still in pretty good shape & have lots of life left in them. The back of the neck also has some dings & signs of wear but it doesn’t affect the playability of this vintage Gibson. There is plenty of buckle rash on the back of the guitar & visible wear around the edges of the headstock. There are no cracks or breaks.

Playability: This vintage Gibson plays great – the action is low & the instrument plays with no buzzing & no dead spots. We set this guitar up with 10’s and it is ready to be played and loved.
