1961 Gibson SG Special Left Hand
Check out this very rare 1961 Gibson SG Special in left hand configuration! Lefty guitars were available from Gibson by custom order only in 1960s. This one has been played and loved for decades but remains an awesome playing instrument. The neck has never had a break or repair but does have Grover tuners installed. It needs nothing and is ready for the stage, studio, and collection.
Measurements: 6.4 lbs / 2.9 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.70"/ 43mm wide at the nut, 0.80" deep at the 1st fret, and .90" deep at the 12th fret. The neck pickup reads 8.2k ohms and the bridge pickup reads 8.4k ohms.
Originality: Grover tuners installed, replaced bone nut, replacement dot installed, replaced switch tip. Some of the wood inside the bridge pickup cavity has been crudely chiseled away.
Playability: Killer! The neck is straight and the frets have been dressed.
Condition: Good. The Cherry Red is faded and thoroughly checked. There are plenty of nicks, dings, and scratches but no breaks or repairs.
Included: The original Lifton case is included.
Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return as long as the guitar is still in as-sent condition. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from the refund in the case of a return.
