Hi
According to Gibson, is says “ SG Cust. Sp. 11-7-68” about one of my guitars in the shipping ledgers, what can the "Sp" stand for?
What did Gibson say was the meaning of the "Sp."?
Sp would stand for special order, or indicate non-standard specifications - foremost because of the black finish on you SG Custom (standard finish for was white or sunburst at the time IIRC), plus the Bigsby. Very cool guitar. :dude:
I wonder if the Custom Made plaque is hiding the Lyre holes and if it could at all be a refin?
Arch, for '68 just white. I only know of one sunburst SG Custom, Eric E has/had it.
Walnut replaced white in early/mid '69.
My bad - I meant brown, not sunburst. Pretty sure there are some brown '68 customs around.
