1961 GibsonSG Special – TV Yellow


TV Yellow is stunning and so well-preserved on this incredible 1961 Gibson SG Special! This first-year SG Special is a real beauty and a fantastic-sounding guitar, thanks to its straight-grained mahogany construction and well-balanced P90 pickups! This traditional 60s neck profile really lends itself to quick and comfortable playing, and the fret wire has tons of life left before needing a refret. Overall, the finish is still pretty much the shade it left the factory, as the clear hasn’t yellowed much at all!
