1964 Gibson SG – Cherry Finish – Original Electronics – Player’s Grade

PLEASE CALL FOR ADDITIONAL PICTURES, INFO OR QUESTIONS

Up for sale is a genuine 1964 Gibson SG in its classic cherry finish. This is a vintage piece with all the character you’d expect from a well-played instrument of this era.

Details:

Year: 1964
Model: SG
Finish: Cherry (naturally aged)
Electronics: Fully original
Tuners: Replaced with Schaller-branded tuners (non-original)

Condition:
This guitar is in player’s condition and shows significant cosmetic wear consistent with its age and use. Expect finish checking, dings, scratches, and general wear throughout—nothing unusual for a 60+ year-old instrument that’s been enjoyed.

There is a small crack present. We have not confirmed whether it goes through to the wood, but it appears stable and has not affected playability in our experience.

Playability & Tone:
Despite its cosmetic flaws, this SG delivers the resonant, lively tone you’d expect from a vintage Gibson. The original electronics retain that classic warmth and bite these guitars are known for.

Summary:
A great opportunity to own a real 1964 Gibson SG at a more accessible price point due to its cosmetic condition. Perfect for players looking for vintage tone without the collector-grade price tag.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or for additional photos.
Included with this guitar is a Yorkville hard-shell case, and a secondary older rectangle hard-shell case which we are not sure if it is the original.
