Just picked up this baby - in great condition, and the P-90's sing! In the second photo, she is accompanied by her older brother, a 1961 SG Special (that says "Les Paul Special" in the original Gibson shipping log). They sound very similar, but the 1961 has slightly more aggressive P-90s. And of course, the 1961 doesn't have a compensated tailpiece. :hank

My all time favorite SG model. That was THE guitar to have when I was a teenager. Beautiful, now you gotta find a TV finished one.

A blonde and a redhead together.

I'm imagining the mathematical possibilities here.

Play that blonde well and often Mike.
