1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom – Polaris White

Well Strung Guitars

Description

Here’s an incredibly clean 1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom in its original Polaris White finish! What makes this one even rarer? The factory installed ebony block tailpiece that so beautifully contrasts the white finish. The Polaris White finish itself has only very subtly yellowed, and there’s hardly any playwear to the paint besides a couple of marks. Despite these original “fretless wonder” frets, the guitar is very easy to play, and the smooth medium C neck profile is super comfortable in the hand. All three pickups are original PAFs, and they each sound as legendary as you’d expect! This guitar is fully original and has no modifications whatsoever. 


Overall Condition: 9, light playwear and patina
