My husband was lucky enough in 2018  to get a bit of money and bought the guitar of his dreams. ( £1899 -they are from £1899 -£2399)

Never ever thought it could be his. For 6 years it has been in its case, we worked out he had actually taken it out about once a year. Played it for a few hours, cleaned and returned it to the case.

Never on display like his other guitars ( guitarist since 17 coming upto 70 now, few guitars, played in local bands & groups as bass & lead guitarist).

He has decided even though he loves it, he is so used to playing his other guitars and basically rocking. this one doesn't get the use and love it should.

We are downsizing so he has decided he can let it go to someone who can use it and love it to its full potential.

Case slightly different,  and I'm glad it wasn't on display..the painter and decorated laid plastic down but didn't allow for gap between bannister and wall..we didn't notice till 6 months later..that the case was covered in a spray of paint ....thank goodness the Gibson was inside!!

Cleaned up well but still some small marks..it did its job protecting😄.

Please see all photos.

I hope you get the pleasure and  enjoyment of playing your guitar to it's full potential.

Full Description

Vintage SG tone

The only thing more legendary than the Gibson SG is the

resonance it produces. What makes it so special? It's the

careful combination of tonewoods and the meticulous

attention to detail which forms that precious sound. As you

strike a power chord, the loud SG tone reverberates out of

your amp. The body is skillfully assembled from real

mahogany to provide you with a rich, vibrant resonance, and

a thick mid-range bite - making this the perfect tool for

solos.

The reason why so many great guitarists, including George

Harrison and Eric Clapton, use the SG is not only because of

the killer tonal quality, but the way it sits within a band

dynamic. The rosewood neck produces a certain depth to

the overall resonance, meaning nothing will be lost in

translation -your riffs will be heard for days.

Designed for comfort

Picture this. You're on stage, crushing one of your tasty

solos, until you feel your hand cramping up. It can be painful

and distracting. This won't be an issue with the Gibson

Meastro Vibrola SG. Crafted from real rosewood, the

ingerboard makes those chord changes even more smooth

whilst adding a warmth to the resonance. Glide form chord

to chord with such ease - free of any discomfort

Considered, stylish, and secure - this is a guitar engineered

with the musician in mind

Gibson have pulled out all the stops. The unique slim taper

profile ensures you'll have a tight grip on the neck as it

shapes beautifully into your hand - without exerting too

much pressure. So you can focus on blazing your trail.

Sensational pickups

The 61R and 61T burstbuckers do so much more than just

pick up the vibrations and send them through your amp.

They are essential in delivering that loud SG sound, with ar

abundance of power. They manage to recreate the vintage

60's tone - sending you right back to where it all began

Burstbuckers remove any awkward and unwanted

interference that can sometimes occur during a live show

By doing so, they give your tonal quality the clarity an SG

deserves. Have no doubt, every one of your licks will be

heard with optimum definition

Outstanding hardware

The introduction of the maestro vibrola allows you to bend

warp, and distort your sound so you can establish some

character to your playing style. By gently pushing down on

the bar, you can take your solos to the next level. As well as

its practical function, the vibrola also contributes a stunning

aesthetic that is unparalleled. This is a once in a lifetime

guitar design. Live shows never looked so good - for those

about to rock, we salute you..

Another piece of hardware that is vital for the singing

sustain you would expect from a Gibson SG is the aluminium

ABR-1 Tune-0-Matic bridge. It transfers the vibrations of your

strings throughout the mahogany body, providing you with

sustain that's almost as long as a Frank Zappa solo. Which is

pretty long.

The rise of the Gibson SG

First launched in 1961, it's difficult to ignore the reputation

The rise of the Gibson SG

First launched in 1961, it's difficult to ignore the reputation

this guitar has acquired. Heavy, loud, and deep in tone - it

quickly became a guitar for the rebellious. Who could forget

he iconic images of Pete Townsend smashing his guitar to

pieces. It's truly liberating. As well as being described as

having the "fastest neck in the world" due to the slim taper

profile and smooth fingerboard - its association with rock 'n'

roll was inevitable

Keep your instrument safe

Safe and sound. Your treasured SG will remain in the secure

hands of a hard case shell. This is the ideal environment to

store your instrument where it will remain protected from the

elements. Ideal for those who are always on the road

Dependable, well-sheltered, and reliable - your pride and joy

is kept out of harm's way.
