Gibson 1987 SG 61 Standard Electric Guitar, Cherry with Case (pre-owned)

For Those About To Rock.

The SG has always been one of Gibson’s most important designs and this 1987 example brings plenty of vintage mojo in the original ‘61 style. With its familiar double-cutaway body, slim proportions and unmistakable looks, it captures all the devilish charm that has made it so iconic.

This is a genuine vintage Gibson with some history behind it. There has been a repair to the neck joint, visible on both sides of the neck around the cutaways, professionally carried out by 12th Fret Music and comes with receipt as proof. There is also medium fret wear, although relatively modest considering the instrument’s age. The bridge has been replaced with a non-original example, and there is some tarnishing to the hardware.

In fair condition for its age, this 1987 SG Standard offers a slice of Gibson history with unmistakable ‘61-style appeal. Cosmetically, it carries a collection of scuffs and marks consistent with its years, but no large or unsightly dings or damages. It is an honest, well-aged example rather than a pristine collector piece, with the sort of history that comes with almost four decades.

Plugged in, it pumps out classic Gibson tone; the undeniable building blocks of anthemic hard rock riffing, soulful blues and epic solos. All the punch and power you need with sweet bite and clarity, too.
