Strong Cherry red with the iconic late 60’s batwing pickguard.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeaturing a lightweight double cut Honduras Mahogany body with a three piece Mahogany neck. A bound Rosewood fingerboard with pearl dots and a Pearl inlayed Headstock logo complete the traditional Gibson Special appointments. The serial number range is for 1970-1972 but the lack of Volute and Made in USA stamp to the rear of the headstock indicate a very late ’69\/early 70 production date. SG’s from this period features the revised heel joint, five-ply ‘Batwing’ pickguard and Witch hat knobs that define the SG though the second half of the sixties and into the early seventies. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis guitar has had some changes along the way and as well as the stop tail conversion the tuners were at some point changed but it is now sporting correct period replacements with drew holes plugged. It currently has a reproduction Tailpiece and short Vibrola fitted now it has reverted back to its original spec with the bonus that the new bridge-tailpiece is intoned for a plain G string. The most recognisable chance comes in the form of a pair of period Gibson Humbuckers fitted. Thanks to the production of the SG model during this period there was no need to route the body underneath the pickguard. The pickups themselves are a Gibsons Patent Sticker Humbuckers dating from the late sixties\/ early seventies.The chrome covers have been replaced with Nickel ones but there is no reason to believe the pickups have been re-wound. Inside the control cavity noting looks to have been disturbed with the exception of the pickup wires. The CTS pots have their date codes obscured but the visible part code is correct for the SG Special from this period. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe guitars finish still has a nice strong cherry hue, there are areas of wear and the odd knock and bump, all consistent with a guitar that has been used regularly. The headstock, heel and input are all free of cracks and repairs and the guitar has a consistent UV signature under blacklight although there looks to have been some localised lacquer work to the top where the forearm rests and the pickguard has additional holes and a brushed finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe neck has a typical late sixties chunky C profile with a nut width of 40.08mm. Depth at the first fret is a slim 20.65mm tapering out to a fatter 24.65mm at the 12th fret. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe guitar weighs in at a featherweight 6.35bs and comes with a modern ABS Case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52322138587475,"sku":"C73647","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/dsc00333_08c9d55c-c9a0-4c45-942c-1db741077e18.jpg?v=1762537418"},{"product_id":"1965-gibson-sg-custom-refin-black-hsc","title":"1965 Gibson SG Custom, Refin Black + HSC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one has created quite a stir since it was featured in our new arrivals unboxing video... so we very much doubt it will hang around!

Purchased in the early '70s by Neol Davies, guitarist, songwriter and founding member of Coventry’s iconic 2 Tone band The Selecter, this SG later passed to Roger Lomas—guitarist for The Sorrows and The Dodgers, and now a Grammy Award-winning producer.\u003cbr\u003e\nNeol Davies played this SG Junior during the early days of The Selecter—a band at the forefront of the 2-Tone movement alongside The Specials. It was The Selecter’s raw, rhythmic guitar-driven sound and mix of ska, reggae and punk rock that helped define British ska in the late '70s and early '80s. Included with the guitar are photographs of Neol playing it at a formative early gig - an event he personally described as \"the birth of 2-Tone.\" Recently the guitar was loaned to the 2 Tone Lives and Legacies exhibition in Coventry, and Neol was reunited with it once again.\u003cbr\u003e\nLater in the '70s Neol sold the guitar to Roger Lomas - a guitarist whose early career with bands The Sorrows and The Dodgers (see case stencil) gave way to producing, most notably for acts like The Selecter, Bad Manners, The Specials and in later years earning a Grammy for his work with Lee Scratch Perry.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs for the guitar itself, it’s a really good example weighing in at a featherweight 2.55 kg or 5.62 lbs! The neck is particularly nice - a wide feeling 'C' profile that sits comfortably. The guitar has been routed to accommodate an original Gibson T-Top humbucker - something that first attracted Neol to the guitar when he saw it on display in a shop on London's Denmark Street. The combination of this humbucker with the lightweight, resonant, thin Honduras Mahogany body makes for a very dynamic instrument that has an excellent ring and a very pleasant 'airiness' to the sound, with nice bite and clarity. The pots have their date codes covered by solder but are of CTS manufacture and appear from the period. It has a custom made circular 5-ply plastic jack plate, likely added for stability or to cover an old repair around the jack socket. While non-original, it's become part of the guitar's history and we think it looks great. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis SG has clearly been used over the years and it has some attractive play wear, fading and patina to show for it. The cherry finish has faded nicely, with honest wear throughout that adds tons of character. It's the kind of guitar you can immediately connect with: light, resonant, and a pleasure to play.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhether you're a collector, a player, or a fan of the 2 Tone movement, this is a unique opportunity to own an inspiring instrument from the heart of that scene.

Some say that it originates through the association with television cabinet finishes which were often done in limed mahogany (the finish listed in the Gibson Catalogue).

Whatever the answer, its certain that this is one of Gibson’s most distinctive finishes, one which went through many changes over the years and an SG in TV yellow is the rarest of the lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0px 0px 0.9375em;padding:0px;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;\"\u003eYou’d certainly never loose this guitar in a dark corner.
