I bought an used SG '61 RI, this Ltd Edition was made during 2016. Specifications are One piece body high grade mahogany, real Gibson ABR-1 brige and nickel hardware. The wiring is hand made. I love this SG, a pure '61 RI.
I installed a 5 ply wide bevel pickguard, M-69 pickup rings, ...
This SG sounds incredible, balance is perfect, a very good deal imho.

I installed a set of Schaller G3 Series Double Ring tuners, they are better than the Gibson Deluxe and they are perfect for a nice vintage look.
The best tuners for an SG are the KLUSON Revolution, they are light, ratio is 1/19, knobs are very smooth but the design is better for a modern Gibson.

Is that one of the Dave's Limited Edition '61 Reissues?

This is a 2016 SG '61 Reissue Proprietary Limited Edition, the body is made with one piece of high grade mahogany, hardware is nickel, the bridge is a real Gibson ABR-1 screwed into the body like Custom Shop models.
I made cool modifications too. What do you call Dave's Limited Edition?
