SOLD All Original 1969 Gibson Standard

jimmyguitar

All original 1969 Gibson SG Standard in walnut finish with Maestro lyre trem. PAT sticker humbuckers. No 'Made in the USA' or volute date it accurately to '69 unlike some early 70's ones that are sometimes advertised as such. It's a near mint example and it's set up beautifully. PM me if you'd like details/further pics. Case is a later 70's Gibson case. £2500

Sigh. If you could date it to February (specifically the 21st), I would be forced to sell everything I own and buy it as a very early 50th present to myself.

This is purely conjecture but I reckon it's a 21st Feb guitar yeah!

Hot damn.

Can we have more pics here? Looks very clean!

More pics on the way, imgur is playing up at the moment and is taking ages to upload!

Sigh - Right up my street. I'll just fire up Euromillions.

That's just as well, because if it was a June one, I might have had to buy it.

There must be a tale behind this to be in such good nick !

Has it ever been played?

Whoever eventually buys this beauty, I'll do you a deal on some nice relic humbucker covers.

Lovely guitar.  My SG is a 2003 with no pick-up surrounds, & I had thought older SG's came with p/up surrounds.  But interesting to see this one doesn't.  Any SG experts here who know why some older SG's have them but others don't?   

jimmyguitar

The SG standard models with the large 'batwing' guard never have pickup rings as the pickups are mounted directly to the guard. If you see one with rings and a batwing guard it is likely to be a modded Special. Pickup rings are used on the small guard versions.
