A true piece of rock 'n' roll history — this original 1962 Gibson Les Paul Standard (SG) in stunning Cherry finish is a rare find, especially in such remarkable condition. The guitar showcases the iconic early '60s craftsmanship that helped define a generation of music, featuring a beautifully aged Cherry finish with just the right amount of vintage character.

All major components — from the PAF pickups to the hardware and electronics — are 100% original, right down to the sought-after original hard shell case. The only exceptions are the missing pickguard and truss rod cover, offering a clean look that shows off the elegant contours and lightweight mahogany body.

The neck has the fast, slim profile typical of this era, with low, smooth action that makes it a dream to play. The PAFs deliver a tone that's rich, articulate, and dripping with that unmistakable vintage magic — perfect for everything from blues to rock to jazz.

Whether you're a collector looking for a pristine vintage piece or a player searching for authentic vintage tone and feel, this 1962 Les Paul Standard (SG) is a breathtaking example of Gibson's golden era.
