Gibson SG Special Polaris White 1968

This 1968 Gibson SG Special is very much a player-grade vintage rocker with several changes over the years, making it an appealing option for someone seeking a genuine ’60s Gibson that’s ready to turn it up to 11 without worrying.

It has been refinished in classy Polaris White refinish, tuners, electronics, and the neck pickup have all been replaced, and the body has been routed to accommodate a humbucker in the neck position. Headstock face finish is intact, as is the serial number.

The frets have plenty of life left, and the guitar plays and sounds great, with a nice chunky neck. Weight is 3200g. Includes modern but well worn Gibson hardshell case.

While this may not be a collector’s dream, it is a great-playing and sounding 60’S SG that just has “that” feel and character, but at a much lower price.
