This guitar is in very good vintage condition. It was made in Nashville, Tennessee on June 26, 1996. There are few guitars as iconic as the Gibson SG. The SG (standing for Solid Guitar) was introduced in 1961. This guitar features a thinner body and a double cutaway design, making access to the upper frets significantly easier than on a Les Paul. Upon its release, Gibson advertised the SG as having "the fastest neck in the world!" Indeed, many of rock and metal's greatest players have used a Gibson SG to great effect!

The body has quite a few scratches all over. There are small paint chips along the body's edge as well. The back has two long scuffs on the paint. The neck is in very good vintage condition. There is no headstock break. There are small scuffs and scratches on the back on the neck and paint chipping along the headstock edge. There are small marks on the tuner buttons. All electronics and hardware are original and all work as intended.
