Hard shell Case Included

The guitar comes with the fitted brown hard shell case shown in the photographs, featuring a black plush/velvet-style interior.

This guitar came from a pristine storage unit belonging to a musician who took exceptional care of his guitars, amplifiers and other musical equipment. His instruments were carefully stored and maintained, and this guitar presents beautifully.

Cosmetically, it is in very nice condition for an approximately 25-year-old instrument. As with any pre-owned guitar of this age, there may be minor signs of normal handling, play and storage. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.

I have not personally performed a complete electronics/playability test and therefore do not want to make representations beyond what I can verify. Given the exceptional care taken with the instruments in this collection, I have no reason to believe there is an issue, but buyers should purchase based on the description and photographs provided.

A beautiful and increasingly difficult-to-find Gibson signature model combining the unmistakable SG design, dual P-90 configuration and Pete Townshend association.

Includes the Gibson guitar and brown fitted hard shell case pictured.

Condition:
Very nice pre-owned vintage condition overall. The Heritage Cherry finish presents beautifully. There are light surface scratches/scuffs on the black pickguard consistent with normal playing and use; please see close-up photos. Additional minor signs of normal vintage use may be present.

Includes the brown Gibson hardshell case with black plush/velvet-style interior. The case has a built-in combination lock and includes the original Gibson combination-lock instructions and the small black combination-change/reset tool shown in the photos.

Also included are the original Gibson Gold Warranty booklet and Gibson Pre-Pack Checklist, which identifies the guitar as Model SGPTMRCH1, Serial No. 02491321.

The guitar features chrome hardware, P-90 pickups and 23 frets.

Please review all photos closely, as they are an important part of the description and show the exact cosmetic condition of the guitar, pickguard, case, paperwork and included accessories.
