mcshaggy69 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Would love to get some assistance from this community. I would love to order a similar version of the attached SG which is being played by Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes. Please let me know what model SG this is; the color; whether it is custom with the HHH configuration? And any additional background. Thank you!

pippy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ...That's a Gibson Les Paul Custom in Inverness Green... ...not that we'd wish to confuse matters.....lol! Hi and welcome. As Bence says although it's clearly an SG in shape it's actually a 1961-'63 style Les Paul Custom; http://www2.gibson.c...S/Features.aspx Chrome (nickel?) hardware rather than gold and Inverness Green finish are unusual to this model so it was possibly a limited run. Could even be special order. Hope you manage to track one down but if you have never played a 3-p'up Les Paul-SG you might want to try one out before handing over the hard-earned. Some players find the middle p'up gets in the way of their picking hand. Good luck! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgplayers Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I learned something new. 61 -67. cool but pippy has a good point about the middle pick-up. it can be about as annoying as the volume knob location on a strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I learned something new. 61 -67. cool but pippy has a good point about the middle pick-up. it can be about as annoying as the volume knob location on a strat. Sorry! I had a brain fart and forgot to add that the 'Les Paul' name was dropped in favour of the SG (solid guitar) designation circa mid-'63 but I'm sure everyone was waaay ahead of me there. The 'Les Paul' name was last seen in the '63 catalogue and didn't reappear until the re-introduction of the carved-top models in '68. My earlier post has been amended to correct this carelessness on my part. Apologies for any confusion! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjsinla Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm pretty sure it is green. rct But, are you positive it's not Pelham blue with a yellowed clear coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcshaggy69 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks everyone for your assistance! Looks like if I want a similar guitar, it will be a special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
