Finally after many years i've been able to obtain what was previously unobtainium. My dream SG...the '64 standard. and this one is basically flawless. 100% original. only thing not factory is someone added a weird kind of emblem on top of the wheat inlay on the headstock. i could probably pry it off, but i'm going to just leave it. it sounds fantastic and plays just as good--definitely lives up to the hype.

here are some pics. i'll update my "SG Wall" later and post some pics of that.

now i need to offload a ton of Buchla and Eurorack synth stuff to pay for it.

Ugh. Get your 'A Ghost is Born' on.

That’s pretty great! Congrats!

Awesome!
Such a gorgeous old SG.
I really want an SG with a maestro. Someday..

holy crap that thing is clean. nicely done

Thanks breauxs.

That. Is. AWESOME!!!!

Congratulations Hiwatt Bob! That's a pretty impressive wall of SGs!

I had a chance to purchase a '64 just like that earlier this year (and the price wasn't as crazy as I thought...) - I've always been a bigger fan of bat wing guard SGs and the '64 was so damn clean it looked like a reissue ... for some reason that factored in... I ended up finding a later '60s Standard (big guard) for a really decent price and went with that instead.

But in terms of how it sounded and played ... what a guitar that was. Lovely set of patent numbers that sounded just as good as the PAFs in my old '62 ES345 (if not better) and a nice round chunky neck.

May it wear well and give you many years of shenanigans.

That is some seriously STRONG pornography, HW Bob!!

That is, IMO, the PERFECT Gibson SG. And it's my birthyear guitar, too.

I'd gladly hit some Robbie Krieger groovy stuff on that!

thanks dudes--super stoked.

That’s phantastic!

That wall of SGs!!!!
Speechless. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I’d just stand and stare at them all day.
