It works as good if not better together than a cold beer and a meat pie (brands omitted but you should have a good idea). Of if your so inclined - a good red with double brie and quince paste. Yeah, it's that good. Pics don't do it justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson SG Standards originated from their humble beginnings as a full pickguard late 60's evolution of the original 1961 SG. Now 1961 SG holds a dear place in my heart, but like to so many others, the late 60's SG is a magical guitar. Take for example the little fella who has been jamming out on one* since the mid 70's to now (and yeah, I'm referring to the legend who dons the school uniform and rips the best open chord tunes we will likely ever know). That's what has inspired this guitar. An SG standard should have a lyre vibrola and witch hat knobs. It should make you think that '68\/'69 and 1970 were just ridiculously good years for guitars and guitar music alike, because they were. Not to mention the next 50 solid years where the full pickguard late 60's SG  and the modern iteration - the SG Standard which bloomed into flower in the early 90's, has dominated rock music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* It is speculated the little fella above originally  had a 71 SG which is the last of the late 60's style before the Norlin years where everything become a budget driven line item. Regardless if he played a 68, 69, 70 or 71 - the sentiment is still the same. Im sure he owns and has recorded with many of each.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all our in-house customised guitars - we only customise\/ build guitars that we love and wish were factory produced but either are not or not any more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our custom guitars come with a West End Vintage and Custom Guitars hard case with serial numbered plaque on the case. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummary of works:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody refinished in Nitrocellulose (Wicked Witch Shell Pink)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLyre Vibrola Added (stop bar delete)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck sanded and refinished in clear nitro (Wicked Witch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParchment white 3 ply pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitch hat knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal everything else inc. 490R\/ 498T pickups. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/strong\u003eAll customised guitars started their journey with us as used instruments and are not without scratches, bumps, imperfections etc. Please refer to photos. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf your keen for more details or interested in buying or testing this guitar please email westendvintageandcustomguitars@gmail.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West End Vintage and Custom Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882377281819,"sku":null,"price":3250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/1207\/6059\/files\/DSC_0003.jpg?v=1773374364"},{"product_id":"gibson-sg-61-pelham-blue","title":"2020 Gibson SG '61 Reissue - Pelham Blue Custom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWant a killer SG no one else has....... here it is. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'61 Reissues are very very good pro level guitars and at 4 grand new they are a good alternative to custom shop variants at 2-3 times the price. Full stop. End of debate. But hey - can they be better? YES. What makes our take on these special - well you'll never play another SG with a painted neck after you play this. There is something organically special in the feel and the look. If these were a production run out of the Nashville factory there would be a 10K tag hanging on it. The way we see it - this is cheaper than a new '61 reissue and about 300% more appealing. Unique guitars make for inspired playing - they make you feel good and subsequently inspire you to create.
