1960 GibsonLes Paul/SG Standard – Cherry
This beaut is a historical piece in our inventory and a guitar we’ve been buzzing about – an early production, all original 1960 Gibson “Les Paul” in the SG body style! In fact, we recently discovered that this guitar is the third “SG” produced in this new style. Towards the end of 1960, Gibson updated its flagship solid-body model to boost sales, and the sharp, double-cutaway body we know and love as the SG was born! This 1960 set the stage for Gibson’s regular production in 1961 and shares many of the same specs, such as two PAF humbucking pickups, a sideways vibrola, and a slightly larger peghead than its older Les Paul brother. Check out that early 1960 serial number on the back of the headstock, too! And…if that wasn’t enough…take a look at its very rare, early brown case! This particular one is in excellent condition, with only some fading to the Cherry finish.
