    1960's Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with non original hardcase in excellent condition 8/10.
    This rare and gorgeous guitar is coming from the legendary former Smart Studios where Nirvana recorded Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins recorded there first 2 albums, and many more throughout the 90's including garbage, NIN, U2, Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, L7, Green Day, the list goes on.
    From my best judgement most is original on this guitar and the 3 pickup routing is original as you can see by photos.. Proper nickel Lyre tremolo. The pickups are vintage PAF but I don't think from 65 (although they are made in the same Gibson factory. Two pots date from 75 so some or all were replaced at some point but still vintage 70's. Neck is beautiful and never had a break...the action is amazing. There is a small crack were the neck joins the body- this is 100% stable and has never been any sort of issue- its been there for the many years Ive owned the guitar- you won't have a problem.
    By the serial number (3518XX) the guitar dates to 1965 but some folks have come forward and said this could be a 1967-1969. Ive also been told that this would probably have been a normal 2 pickup standard. Ive owned this guitar for over 10 years and this is the way it has always been. I am not an expert so please use your judgement. Very rare very cool, incredible player with good (what I believe are original frets) fret life left.
    Will be packed very well! Buyer to pay actual shipping plus insurance - if shipping exceeds bays calculations I just ask that the buyer pay the difference. Thanks for looking at this piece of rock n roll history!
