1961 GibsonSG Special – TV Yellow
This early 1961 Gibson SG Special is clean in its original TV Yellow finish! Now, we know what you’re thinking, “That’s not an SG!” Technically, you’re correct; it sports the older Les Paul body style. However, as an early “transitional” piece, it showcases a crown headstock inlay, rather than the Les Paul silkscreen seen on earlier guitars with this body style! Additionally, it features two blazing P-90 pickups, a thinner medium neck profile, and original frets still in good condition. This piece is a must-have for any Gibson lover as it’s truly their first foray into what we have come to know and love as the (LP) SG!
