1963 Gibson SG Les Paul Cherry
Perfectly original, 1 owner closet queen. This instrument was purchased new by a gentleman who didn't really play much, put it in his closet and eventually passed away, we purchased it off his wife. Truly one of the best condition 1960's era instruments we have EVER had through our store. If you want the best-of-the-best Les Paul era SG, this is it - cheaper guitars can be found from this era, but not in this condition.

Tech Notes: Setup to spec, plays wonderfully, and sounds great too. Everything appears to be 100% original, no fretwork, nut work, or crack repairs that I can see. Small finish crack on side of neck heel but doesn’t appear to be more than paint. Fret wear is almost non-existent. Guitar is in immaculate condition for its age.
