Pre-CBS 1964 Fender Jaguar, Black Refin, EXC Condition with OHSC

Left Handed Pre-CBS 1964 Fender Jaguar, older pro-refin in Black, has just undergone a complete inspection and expert set-up including a perfect refret with original spec wire by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music(www.topshelfmusic.com). This guitar now plays beautifully and needs nothing!

Neck date is 1MAY63B, neck plate is L48xxx, pickups are 6.13K/Neck, 7.09K/Bridge. Has a few replaced parts: 2 pots are mid-60s, tuners are repro, otherwise the guitar is original.

1969-1970 Gibson SG Special, EXC with OHSC, Amazing SG!

Lefty 1969-70 Gibson SG Special, transitional guitar from late 1969-early 1970: NO Made in U.S.A. stamp, mini volute, pots date 137 7010. Has early 60s Maestro tailpiece(the guitar is original otherwise), brand new adjustable bridge is on there now(original stair step bridge in the case). Nice deep cherry finish, has some dings and nicks that you would expect from 44 year-old guitar, some worming on the back, but EXC overall condition. Headstock has some veneer checking which is purely cosmetic in nature. Comes with original logo black rectangular case/Marigold lining.

I actually didn’t play this guitar until Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music(authorized Gibson repair center since 1979) was doing a complete inspection and set-up of this guitar and commented that it was a really good sounding SG. Since I’m more into Gibson ES guitars and Strats, I took notice, plugged it in, and was very impressed with this guitar!
