1963 Gibson SG Special. Cherry. 8.50. #00668. SOLD
One of the '63 SG Specials That Pete Townsend Didn't Break!
This lightweight SG Special weighs just 6.60 lbs. Solid mahogany body with pointed horns and a one-piece medium profile mahogany neck. Bound rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. Two very hot P-90 pickups with outputs of 7.71k and 8.02k. Compensated "wrap-over" bar bridge/stud tailpiece and Gibson "Maestro" Vibrato tailpiece. The cherry finish on the top, neck, and sides has faded to more of a brownish color. There is a very small stress crack on the treble side of the neck joint, but this is a very old surface crack and does not appear to have moved. Later Epiphone hardshell case.
