62' & 65' SG
Ones a new guitar day and the other is an old mainstay.
Onto the new arrival first:
I recently went and bought this beauty from Opsguy after wanting another to go with my '65
She's a 62' Gibson SG Special which I'm sure a few of you have already seen and met.
Now the 65' I've had for a while and is currently on its 3rd set of frets, she's seen a hard life and has been a beater of mine for years, even after a headstock repair and neck reset it's still a cracker!
And here's the rest of the family

The pickups are late 50's...which are essentially identical to '62's.Darth Sabbathi wrote:Aw yeah... that '62 Special looks amazing! Original pickups?

For what it is worth... I put a 64 SG Special on $1 reserve a few months ago after trying to sell at a fair price for ages. It went for $2250.Danban wrote:Due to seeing something else I want the 62 is up for sale.
Like yours, mine was refinished. It had a narrow nut, but did have original pickups. Anyway, good luck - hope you get a better deal than I did!

If your trying to raise the cash for my Ibanez JS then I would probably just do a straight swap if you twist my arm
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: 62' & 65' SG
One would be hard pressed to buy a refinished vintage SG in the States for this sort of money. It's a good deal!
