$1.00

I purchased this killer 1968 Gibson SG Standard from its sole owner since about 1970! She played it in her rock band through the mid 1970s but gave up the rock and roll lifestyle shortly thereafter. She held on to her SG in hopes that she would pick it back up but never did. I was thrilled to find it in excellent playing condition with no breaks or repairs.
