Just got this SG Special yesterday and I'm trying to figure out what it is exactly.
It's a Gibson SG Special which I believe was made in 1997.
It has an Ebony fretboard, acrylic dots. Pickups have been changed, so no idea what they looked like before.
Not sure about the color? Could it be a white which has yellowed so much since 1997? A yellow TV - Worn Yellow - faded yellow - cream... ???? I've seen info on special runs, etc, but I really have no idea what this is, especially with the ebony fretboard. The serial number is 91477453
I took the picture with my 2010 Artic White LP Studio (also with an Ebony fretboard) to give you an idea of the actual color.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I just picked this up from a friend. It is cream with ebony finger board. The balance is amazing! Not sure on modifications, but appears to be mostly stock except for Grover locking machine heads. Mine was built in the Nashville Plant July 15th, 1996.
What do I have here??? (pictures included)
in Gibson USA
