Key Features & Specifications:
Model: Gibson SG '61 Reissue
Year: 1999
Finish: Heritage Cherry
Serial Number: 90139323
Body: Mahogany
Neck: Mahogany, Slim Taper Profile (characteristic of '61 reissues)
Fingerboard: Rosewood with Trapezoid Inlays
Frets: 22, showcasing slight fret-wear consistent with regular play.
Pickups: Original Gibson Humbuckers (likely '57 Classics or similar, known for their PAF-like tone)
Hardware: Chrome (Tuners, Bridge, Tailpiece)
Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-way Pickup Selector Switch
Condition - A Glimpse into its History:
Body: The Heritage Cherry finish retains its vibrant color, but there are clear signs of damage.
As seen in the photos, there is a noticeable chip/gouge on one of the upper horns, consistent with impact.
There are also various other signs of playwear across the body, including minor dings, scratches, and surface swirl, which contribute to its authentic "road-worn" aesthetic.
Neck & Fretboard: The neck is straight, and the rosewood fretboard is in good condition. As noted, there is slight fret-wear, particularly in the lower positions, but ample life remains for comfortable playability.
Headstock: The classic Gibson headstock with the "Gibson" logo and crown inlay is present. The tuning pegs show signs of age and use, with some visible wear and tarnishing as well as a couple being slightly bent, but are generally functional.
Electronics & Hardware: The original humbuckers deliver classic SG tone.
The pickup covers show some natural tarnishing and wear.
The chrome hardware, including the bridge and tailpiece, exhibits typical signs of age and use.
Please note: One of the tone knobs is broken and will need to be replaced or repaired (as clearly shown in the close-up photo). The remaining knobs and the 3-way switch are functional, though they may have some playwear.
Overall Playwear: This guitar proudly displays its history. Beyond the specific damages mentioned, you can expect surface scratches, minor indentations, and areas where the finish has dulled slightly from natural handling and playing.
