1999 Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Custom Ebony 3 Pickup w/ 57 Classic PAFs, Case
Up for sale, a 1999 Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Custom in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This Custom Art & Historic era Gibson offering is faithful to vintage spec, featuring a trio of ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers and a “Black Beauty”-style aesthetic with a gloss Ebony finish and gold hardware.
The SG Custom’s mahogany construction results in plenty of natural low-mid warmth, with the glassy cut and note attack of the ebony fingerboard. Each pickup selection on the three-way toggle has a unique voice, and everything from throaty neck pickup warmth to aggressive chime and bark in the bridge position, and slinky out-of-phase Bridge/Middle sounds in the middle position. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and strung with 10-46 strings, this SG Custom is dialed in with low action and accurate intonation.
