About This Listing

1968 Gibson SG Special with Vibrola trem. In Very good condition overall except for the finish, which just has good play wear from 50+ years of love. No headstock breaks or cracks and no separation at body. Appears to be all original. Looks cool, plays and sounds great.

Product Overview
The Gibson SG Special was introduced in 1961 as a "mid-level" guitar. This set-neck mahogany guitar was a step up from the SG Junior with a pair of P-90 pickups, three-way switching, individual volume and tone controls, and a bound neck with dot inlays.

1966 saw a slight redesign of the SG Special, introducing a larger pickguard that went across the pickups and mid-way through the upper bout. 1966 also saw this model get the Vibrola tailpiece as standard, though stoptail models trickled out until early 1967.
