NGD 2004 Gibson SG Standard
I have been looking for a Gibson SG for quite a while. I have an original 68 Special with P90s that I have owned for over 40 years. I was between a Special faded and a regular special.
I recently bought a G400 to take to my vacation home and liked it so much I decided to look for a Standard. I recently sold some equipment so I had some cash to use.
I found two on the local buy and sell. Both listed as mint, and both were out of town.
One 30 miles one 50 miles. The closer one was 950 firm with HC case and the other was 900 with HC. I could not get a time to view the first one so I went out today to the second.
It was perfect. I talked the guy down to 850 and couldn't get out of there fast enough.
I have only one picture so far but I will get some tomorrow in natural light.
I will have to change the strings to 10s. It is a shame because he had a brand new set of D'addario 9s on it. The action is perfect and it all original without a scratch.
It has a realy nice neck and the original 490/498 pickups. I had actually looked at a new one and it was 1259 plus 13% tax. I saved myself 575. I am a happy camper to say the least.
The Blues is alright!
