Gibson Custom Shop ' 61 Les Paul Custom SG Reissue Vintage Cherry Electric Guitar
Item History & Price
1999 Gibson Custom Shop '61 Les Paul Custom SG Reissue electric guitar with a Cherry finish. It is 100% all original. The original frets show nearly zero visible fretwear and everything works perfectly. Because there appears to be such little fretwear or actual playwear, we believe the guitar has an intentionally relic'd VOS finish...and it is stunning. This is a true reissue and features all the little details of a true historic reissue, such as a long neck tenon, single-piece mahogan...y body, a fast slim taper neck, and triple PAF pickups. The guitar weighs just 7.46 pounds. The neck thickness measures 0.791" at the 1st fret and 0.891 at the 12th fret.
This '61 Reissue looks like it's actually from 1961. The gold hardware has a beautiful faded patina. There are scuffs and dings throughout. The fretboard binding shows some slight aging and a couple binding nubs are gone. The ebony fingerboard has fingermarks that give it a worn-in look. The nut is in perfect condition but has an aged color. The headstock overlay has finish checking. The corner edges of the headstock has light scuffing. All tuners work great and it holds a tune perfectly. The low-E tuner was replaced at one time but the original is back in. All 3 of the original pickups sound outstanding and all electronics work with no issues. It does not include a case or any accessories.
