Up for sale is a 1966 Gibson SG Special in a rare Pelham Blue finish. This guitar is 100% original and remains in excellent vintage condition with no cracks, no breaks, and no touchups.

The guitar plays great and sounds absolutely killer. The original P-90 pickups have that classic SG Special bite: raw, articulate, punchy, and full of vintage Gibson character.

The finish shows honest vintage aging and wear, but there are no repairs or finish touchups. The neck is comfortable, the guitar is resonant, and it has a great feel in hand. There is only very light fret wear on the first few frets, with plenty of life left.

Original mid-’60s SG Specials are already great guitars, and finding one in an early Pelham Blue finish with this level of originality is especially rare.

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.


It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.


The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
