Here is an ultra rare Gibson Historic Custom Shop SG Standard Stinger Series made in 2003. In each model/color variant 2 were made therefor this is one of two built. In my humble opinion this is probably the best combination or at least color variant. The Aged Pelham Blue is a beautiful greenish hue to it with plenty of finish checking to top it off.

Its in excellent condition with no real signs of wear and tear outside of the factory aging. There is some fretwear under the b string. but thats to be expected in a guitar of this age. Everything appear to be original to the guitar. It plays and sounds sooo good. Freshly set up and ready to go. All electronics work as they should.

Comes with original Case, COA, Hangtags and Inspection sheet.

Weight: 6 lbs 13 oz
