{"product_id":"870820","title":"Gibson USED Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue VOS (Cherry Red) 2020 [SN. 062772]","description":"Recommended used items!\u003cbr\u003e A SG, a reproduction of the early '61 model, has arrived in our recommended used inventory!\u003cbr\u003e Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue VOS! Made in 2020.\u003cbr\u003e This pen boasts a striking presence with its realistic Cherry Red color!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Established in 1984, the Gibson Custom Shop was created to produce the ultimate electric guitars and basses through long-cultivated high-level manufacturing techniques, an insatiable spirit of inquiry, and carefully selected materials. Even today, the Custom Shop lineup, crafted using traditional handcrafting methods and thoroughly researched vintage knowledge, boasts a superb level of craftsmanship that is unmatched by others, and will become the ultimate cherished instrument that endlessly ignites the inspiration within the player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Production of the Les Paul model ended in 1960, and a complete model change to the SG was implemented starting in 1961.\u003cbr\u003e This product, a reproduction of the original release, is evident even from the \"Les Paul\" logo on the truss rod cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The SG model, which went on sale in 1961, was initially created as a redesigned Les Paul model. Therefore, even though it was changed to the SG shape, the truss rod cover still bore the \"Les Paul\" inscription. After Gibson's contract with Mr. Les Paul ended in late 1963, the name was officially changed to \"SG,\" and since then, while undergoing minor changes, it has continued to reign as an iconic Gibson model alongside the Les Paul!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The SG's thin and lightweight body, a stark contrast to the Les Paul, and its improved playability thanks to the double cutaway are unique advantages. The dark aniline-dyed cherry color and VOS finish give this guitar a dignified presence.\u003cbr\u003e This particular guitar is fitted with Single Line, Single Ring tuning pegs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pickups are the Custom Shop's standard Custombucker Alnico III, which are exceptional pickups with their distinctive midrange, quick response, and bite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The SG model is by no means a particularly versatile guitar, but if you find the right one for you, it will become a beloved companion for many years to come! I, Mukai, also have a personal attachment to this model!\u003cbr\u003e Its lightweight body will allow you to perform graceful steps on stage as if you were soaring through the sky! It's also a perfect match for the Japanese physique! And the sound that comes from its thin body, full of stickiness and sharpness, gives you an emotional tone that's perfect for rock and blues! While a Les Paul might be too thick and clash with vocals, the SG offers just the right range that's easy to use in a band ensemble!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We've just received a recommended used item! It's a 2020 model.\u003cbr\u003e While there are some minor scratches, pick scratches on the pickguard, and tarnishing on the parts, overall this guitar is in fairly good condition with minimal signs of use. None of these affect playability. We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets are in good working order and have almost all of their life remaining. The nut is also in good working order and the truss rod can be adjusted normally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.\u003cbr\u003e The PAF (Patent Applied For) sticker on the back of the pickup is presumably an aftermarket addition. There are no signs of desoldering, so we believe it is the original Custombucker Alnico III.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The weight is approximately 2.89 kg. It's lightweight and has a well-balanced design that makes it easy to use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The only accessories included are the original hard case and key.\u003cbr\u003e A certificate of authenticity is not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Experience the authentic Solid Guitar sound from the Gibson Custom Shop.\u003cbr\u003e Don't miss this opportunity!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SN. 062772\u003cbr\u003e Weight ≈ 2.89 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Original hard case and key only.\u003cbr\u003e *Certificate of completion is not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *Please note that due to the characteristics of the finish used in the VOS series, scratches and rust may be present on the paintwork and parts from the start.\u003cbr\u003e *Please note that there are some red stains on the entire binding due to the aging of the Anilline Dye Finish, but this does not affect playability or cause any problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: 1-Piece Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Profile: 1960 Slim Taper\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Material: Indian Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003e Frets: Authentic Medium-Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e Nut Material: Nylon\u003cbr\u003e Inlays:Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003e Joint:Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: ABR-1\u003cbr\u003e Saddle Material:Nickel-plated Brass\u003cbr\u003e Tailpiece:Lightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e Tuning Machines:Kluson Single Line, Singli Ring\u003cbr\u003e Truss Rod Cover:Authentic Stepped 2-Ply Les Paul\u003cbr\u003e Pickup:Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e Controls:2 Volume\/2 Tone CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers Paper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e Pickup Selector: 3-Way Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *Please note that all items we carry are pre-owned and only one of each is available.\u003cbr\u003e We regret to inform you that we will be prioritizing customers who have placed orders.\u003cbr\u003e Please note the following before making inquiries or requests for reservations.\u003cbr\u003e Customers viewing product pages other than those on the Ikebe Musical Instruments website,\u003cbr\u003e Please place your order by viewing the product page of the retailer or by going to the music store's purchase page.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67821131989105,"sku":"870820","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/870820_01.jpg?v=1792838674","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/ko\/products\/870820","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
