This guitar is in MINT condition... which Reverb does not offer as a choice. You will not find a cleaner one. It is loaded with upgrades that are listed below. This was a unique year for Gibson when it came to the SG Special. The fretboard is rosewood and is thicker than normal. The neck width is slightly wider at .1" (.05 per side) and it has a slim neck profile. The neck has 24 frets, instead of the usual 22, and is 24.75" in length. It has the nicer lacquer Heritage Cherry finish. It also has the adjustable brass nut. The actual saddle portion was upgraded with a drop in Graph Tech nut. The original brass saddle comes with the guitar (see pictures). Now for the many upgrades! **** 1) Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup 2) Seymour Duncan 59' neck pickup 3) Grover tuners 4) Gibson control cavity plate (glossy) 5) Gibson truss rod cover 6) WD pickguard 7) Knobs, pointers & pickup rings from Stew Mac 8) Starr Guitar Systems Complete Wiring Harness (PCB board was removed) consisting of .... A) Switchcraft toggle switch & input jack B) CTS 500K pots C) Mallory Capacitors D) 20gauge solid tinned copper ground wires E) Gavitt vintage cloth B&W wire. ***** As you can see the upgrades were all top quality. You won't find a nicer SG Special. I also just had it set up. The action is low and fast... partly because of the adjustable nut (that all guitars should come with). It even comes with the original paperwork. Please contact me with any questions.
