Sold - Gibson SG Custom Shop With Vibrola

bgmartinsbridge

Wasn't planning to sell this but just bought another guitar. 

Absolutely stunning 2006 Gibson SG Custom Shop. 

Lovely mid weight and a neck that I'd describe as R9esque - not slim and not fat. 

Set up is bang on and it stays in tune.

Condition is 9.9/ 10 and this includes the Coa, all the paperwork plus and shop pack. 

Pics below. I'd call it a mid dark browny red. Some of my photos show it as a brighter red, which it isn't. The first photo is a nearer representation but is still maybe a little darker and it's got lovely grain pattern which is even better in the flesh.

I've got the Vibrola set to sit in the case, so pointing backwards. 
And I've added a fibre washer, so when the Vibrola is fitted it will stay in perfect position for furiously left and right and up and down waggling (check out the forums and notice some come loose and this is a 39 second solution).

Looking for £2850 and may take a CS relic strat, tele or Jazzmaster in trade.

I thought I'd lend you a hand

The hand is epic as is this guitar, I really don’t think you should sell it!

This is a killer guitar folks, please keep it on the forum so I can dream about owning it!

Ahhhh that's so good...

(the guitar, not the hand, though the hand did raise a proper chuckle )

Thanks for the hand @roberty ;

And @Photek - good to see you putting the sg through its paces last week. I know, I should keep it but but but too many guitars.

Props for that hand callback.

It does look rather lovely. About as good as it gets for me

It should become a custom that we all include 'the little hand' in our FS pics.

I just nearly pissed myself.

Have a bump from me, my SG is getting favoured the most right now.

Might nick the felt washer idea. I’d found I could tighten my arm off with the flat edge of a pick in a pinch but seems worth a go.
