Yep I'm 62 now and back in 1974 I was a die hard Tonny Iommi and Pete Townshend fan, and wanted a red SG Special like nothing else! Well I never got one but I did pick up a 64 cherry Junior that was and still is a great sounding SG, surprisingly with all of the crappy mods what I've inflected on it through the years! That is now at Gary Brower's repair shop is SF getting those holes filled! :dang
So well, I got my special last Wednesday and I think that I'm in love again! I got it from Jay Rosen out of Emeryville Ca, real nice guy.
She's not perfect and has here bumps and bruises and most of the old ones do but I'm okay with that. Yes, you'll see that it has the typical repair at the jack but it was okay with me and may be I can get that area fixed up a bit better later but the rest is all original except for some of the screws.
Anyway, here's my new 63 Gibson SG Special in Dark Cherry.
1st the pictures from Gary and these an example why high resolution photos should be requested before buying sight unseen, because there's much more to be seen in hand!!:hmm!
