1961 Gibson SG Special – TV Yellow

Well Strung Guitars

Description

When the Les Paul model changed to an SG shape, it was a radical departure for Gibson, and this particular example is really special. Here we have a 1961 Gibson SG Special in its factory TV Yellow finish. This guitar also sports a short Maestro vibrola for more tonal options. It is all original including the finish, the two P-90 pickups, the “fastest neck in the world” slim neck, and the original frets with plenty of life left in them. The TV finish has that great patina and there are no breaks, cracks or repairs.


Overall Condition: 7, play wear, checking and patina throughout the instrument
