Faux SG Custom

Another day, another guitar… This is a MIC version of the venerable Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom guitar of 1961.

It is actually a pretty nice guitar, better in some respects than the original (and at 1/20th the price of a re-issue and at 1/60th the price of a vintage model!) While some would object to this guitar as a “rip-off”, it allows modifications without destroying its value, including gold switches, cream knobs and an aged pick guard. The smaller switch allows the middle pickup to be switched in but out of phase; Keith Richards had a similar mod on his Custom.
