*** Able to go for $875 shipped for this today, then to ebay. *** let me know.
My writing partner has asked me to sell this guitar for him. Oddly enough in 1992 he sent me a check prior to his return from Japan and asked me to buy it for him... so here we are full circle and now I am selling it.
I am going to post on ebay next weekend if I do not get any bites here or on TGP...
I purchased this guitar brand new from Crown Music in Milwaukee in 1992. It has only had one owner. This is 100% original SG Standard in Cherry in the original case (combo lock never set, still has red tag in it. The case has a few scuffs but is 100% operational and structurally sound.
This guitar has been professional set up about once per year since purchased and has been gigged about 12 times total in it's life, the balance of it's use has been in studios for recording sessions and in the home studio. Guitar has always been stored in it's case, not hung up or set on a guitar stand.
There have never been any repairs to it, the neck is straight, the truss rod works, and the pickups and electronics are all original and fully functioning.
Issues:
The two volume knobs have lost their indicator plates. Knobs all still work 100% fine, no noise or issues, just the loss of the little metal insert that used to say "volume" (see photo)
The headstock has 2 dings on the top of it. They are very easy to see in the photo. They break the finish to where you can see the wood, but they are just chips, the wood beneath is sound.
The front of the headstock also has a small scratch. (visible in photo)
The front of the guitar has scratch they shape of a Z. This is the worst scratch on the guitar. Two photos below show it. I am not sure if it breaks the finish... there was never an effort to polish out due to fear that we may further harm the guitar. This scratch happened in the studio when a piece of rack gear tipped into the guitar.
The back of the guitar has some surface scratch swirls... not like full on buckle rash, and not through the finish, but definitely noticeable standard play wear.
There are maybe 2-3 other tiny dings on the body which I was unable to get to photograph, but nothing of consequence. If there are serious concerns I can try to photo again.
That is about it. This guitar is located in Wisconsin, just outside of Milwaukee. Since I am a bit of a freak about shipping, I would love to sell it to someone nearby, otherwise I will be taking it in it's case to UPS to have them pack it and ship it with insurance, so I am planning on shipping charges to be high.
If you have the patience for your check to clear, I will take a personal check. I will also take a money order or paypal.
I am offering the guitar here with case for $875 + Shipping. Bear in mind, shipping will be expensive. I am guessing $75 when it is all said and done. So, I will ask for $950 then I will email you the actual shipping receipt and if it was less I will refund the difference. If insured shipping and packing costs more, I will eat the difference.
If you are in Milwaukee, Chicago or the Twin Cities I will gladly do a cash deal and arrange to meet up with you.
Let me know if you have any questions. I travel quite a bit, so if you do not hear from me please be patient.
