Great playing SG with a really unique vibe. Beautiful flame maple top that almost has a "herringbone" pattern to it. Fast playing neck. Burstbucker alnico 5 pickups with coil split on the push/pull pots.

Very minor signs of play wear, but does have some small finish chips where someone probably set it on a hard floor at some point.

Original hard shell case included
