1979 Gibson SG Exclusive

This was one of the finest playing guitars I've experienced. With the jumbo frets & ultra low action, this axe practically played itself. It has a pick-up coil tap controlled by a rotary "Tap" knob.

Great color combination on this Gibson from the late seventies. Finished off nicely with cream pick guard, block inlays, brass nut, fully bound neck and Grover tuners, this was one of the finest playing guitars I've experienced. With the jumbo frets & ultra low action, this axe practically played itself (like butter). It has a factory pick-up coil tap controlled by a rotary "Tap" knob. This was my third SG (25 years ago), & was the best one by far to date at that time. Only 478 of this model manufactured (one year only, 1979), and there were a couple available on the web recently. I'll file this in the "sold way too cheap" file along with my 1962 Fender Jazz. Oops!
