FS: Epi '61 SG/LP R.I. w/Maestro tremolo HSC

[claydots]

For sale is one drop dead gorgeous Epiphone '61 SG/LP Custom R.I. in unplayed condition. The guitar has been discontinued for quite some time and the workmanship is excellent. It plays and feels like a Gibson...

One mod was made to the guitar, the original butterbean 14:1 Grovers were replaced with Gibson/Grover 18:1 tulip head tuners, other than that, 100% stock.

There are no chips, dings, scrapes scratches.... nothing... like new and includes all case candy. The gold is in excellent condition, it has no playwear at all.

I am the original owner and I never used this guitar for what I bought it for and it has just sat in a climate controlled room.

The case is a MF hard case... very nice. Korean made at the same plant that the Elite models are made... it shows.

525.00 plus shipping NTE $40 to lower 48.

I have references which are rock solid. PM me for more pics etc.

Thanks...

Lovely ! I've always loved the Gibson model of these guitars ! How low is the action ? I almost bought one of the Gibson SG Customs, but they didn't seem to sound any different than the SG Standard I have, beautiful though. This appears to have an Ebony board.. correct ?

Good luck

i remember when these were around. the construction on the gibson-authorized epiphone reissues is fantastic. i have the cherry red one with two humbuckers and a stop tail

Useless by free bump.

How thick/thin is the neck, anyway?

If it's true to the original, it should be fairly thin.

The fretboard is ebony, the neck is slim and like lightning. The action is low but not too low... just right if you ask me. I had it professionally set up and then just never used it.

I know, that sounds crazy but it's the truth. The guitar shows it, it's in better condition than any guitar you will find new hanging on a guitar shop wall. It never hung on a wall, I have been the only person to touch it besides the luthier.

This guitar could be put on a shop wall as NOS and no one would ever know it's not except by the tuners (professionally installed)

Trade ???

I would like a Epi Les Paul in cherry burst, must be at least a standard, I will look at any Epi Les Paul except black! (I have a black Gibson Studio I would like to see "go away" too!)
