Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Brown delivered today: Pristene 1963 Gibson SG Special w/ditto 1963 Gibson Skylark GA5T amp: the case even included the original Mel Bay lesson books and other treasure straight from 1963...also included the original Allen wench to adjust the stop tailpiece/bridge combo...
I have never seen a cleaner SG except for my original Special in '67; and this is a '63:
The headstock is perfect: clean, sharp, original lined Klusons are spotless:
It sounds great: P90's are clean and chimey and when the amp is pegged, have a great natural overdriven honk w/ lot's of sustain...and that's only this amp (4.5 watts)...hooked up to my Laney Lionheart or Marshall it will sustain a note until I get tired...
Here is the updated album: 1963 Gibson SG Special and Skylark Amp Set
Thanks so much to: 1. the enabler who made this possible...(and tempted me) and 2. SWMBO for really liking this guitar and loving me in spite of it...
Hope you enjoy looking at the pic's... |

No, it's the same one...after delivery...better pic's...
The odds of finding one in this condition are incredible...but two? Even I might be skeptical about that... |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Yeah it's a nice guitar, although I never liked them, but what do I know, just an old gas man.
You should make out really well when you flip it. |
