For sale is my Gibson SG Standard from July–September 1969, serial number 809060.
To be completely transparent from the start, this is a player-grade guitar, not a collector-grade instrument. It has been refinished (respecting serial number, it can be seen) and has had a previous repair/intervention at the neck/body joint. The repair is stable, and the guitar is very stable and holds tuning extremely well.
The guitar is fitted with a pair of SoloDallas T-TOP Solo 1971 humbuckers, with their original 1969 Gibson chrome pickup covers.
Original 1969 parts:
- ABR-1 Patent No. 2... bridge with original yellow nylon saddles
- Original chrome vibrola (arm is not original)
- Original pickguard
- Original backplate
- Original truss rod cover
- Two original volume pots
- Original input jack
- Original 1969 chrome pickup covers
- 3 Original 1969 Knobs
- Original metal electronics cavity shield
Electronics
The two volume pots are original to the guitar, with code 1376852.
The tone pots are not original I think from the 80s.
It has Philips NOS mustard capacitors from the 1960s, 0.022 µF.
Playability & construction
The guitar has been refretted and the frets are in excellent condition, with very little visible wear. It has very good playability and intonation.
It has a thick 3-piece mahogany neck with no volute. The guitar is very well balanced and has no neck dive, either sitting or standing with a strap.
The body is made from a single piece of Honduran mahogany. Rosewood fingerboard.
Lightweigh, 3.4 kg.
The finish is an ebony refinish. I also have historical photos documenting the refinish process carried out by the previous owner, which I can provide to genuinely interested buyers.
Plugged into a Marshall, this guitar delivers that classic late-'60s Gibson sound — think Angus Young and Robby Krieger.
The guitar comes with a modern hard case.
