Yes, I peed in my pants just a little when I saw this. Waiting for dry time right now...pants are light coloured though, so there will be an outline. Be dark soon anyway.

Very tidy. Probably the worst thing about it, aside from the odd decorative bit on the trem, is the way the finish has faded, and I actually like that.

60's SG's certainly have somethign goin' on. I note the price was $295 in 1962...which is $2400 in todays money.... :?

That's called an "Ebony Block SG"....or in my language "OMFG :shock: "

So you'll be selling the 335? :thumbup:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Hell yes.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
