Seller's description

A superb 1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard, finished in its original Cherry, with wonderful provenance having come directly from Dan Steinhardt of That Pedal Show. This is a guitar that will be instantly familiar to many players and tone obsessives, having been featured extensively on one of YouTube’s most popular and respected guitar channels.

This example retains its original Cherry finish, which still has plenty of vibrancy and depth, paired with the nickel hardware, sideways vibrola and small pickguard creating one of Gibson's best looking 60s solidbody guitars. The two period correct patent sticker pickups deliver an open, articulate and balance sound (as any fan of the TPS will know!) with the locked-off sideways vibrola contributing wonderfully to the overall tone and chime of the guitar. Structurally, it's had a well repaired and dowelled heel crack, a known vulnerability on early SG's due to the neck joint design. The repair is stable and well executed, and the guitar feels solid in hand. Importantly, it also plays beautifully, helped by a superb refret carried out by the
