FS - 1965 Gibson SG Standard - £3500!

BloodEagle

As title - I have to move this on to make for something else - kills me a bit because salesmanship aside the guitar is phenomenal, and would be a very good case for vintage guitars in the eternal (on this forum at least) debate . Plays beautifully and and sounds amazing - also features the only Maestro Vibrola I have ever come across that doesn't go out of tune when you actually try to use it. In players condition, so used but looked after - has dings and wear consistent with a lot of play, and heavy laquer checking.Yes, it's 'mojotastic' to use the parlance of our times - I doubt there is a cooler looking SG around for this price.

Discussed before I bought it in this thread (http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/130445/vintage-gibson-sg-price-check#latest), , and after in this thread (http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/130970/new-1965-gibson-sg-day#latest)

It has the following things to note about it, which are all reflected in what I think is a fair price -

Vintage Gibson but not original case
Pickups - Seymour Duncan Antiquities
Back of neck refinished
Neck reset

No headstock breaks/repairs

All electronics original / pots date to 1965

Recent refret

Serial Number 342816

Im asking £3500 or near offer, no trades thankyou very much. Would prefer collection from Leicester for obvious reasons, but willing to work with any potential buyer on different solutions.

Here's some pics (strategically placed cloths used for outdoor shots, btw)

I'm about 4k short but I'd happily take it off your hands for £500... 

In all seriousness glwts, it's beautiful. 

Extra props for Daydream Nation.

I'm only hear to echo previous comments that it's gem. Want to swap for 5 Telecasters?

Only because you have a vinyl copy

punchesjudy

Oh god.. if owning a Sonic Youth record makes you a hipster I'd hate to think what I am. 
I'm currently sat wearing a Sonic Youth t-shirt playing a Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster and if I look left I can see Daydream Nation and Goo on vinyl and behind those the Dirty deluxe edition cd... 
Help me. HELP.

The twist in the tale - I don’t even like Sonic Youth that much, more of a Butthole Surfers/Big Black kind of guy
