beautiful SG in excellent condition, no breaks, no repairs, frets in great shape.The tuners are likely replacements, if so it was done a long time ago, but the SG Special often had classical tuners when they came out of the factory. The electronics are original except for a replaced input jack. Also I changed the vibrola arm because the original didn’t seem to fit right. I still have the one that was on the guitar when I bought it so that will be included. Some people prefer a hard tail but I find the vibrola very musical and much easier to string than a Bigsby. Nut width is 1 9/16. These late 60s SGs have necks that taper, they are thin at the nut (depth-wise) but get fatter as you get to the heel; it is very comfortable to play. The codes on the pots are "6850" which means this guitar was either made in late '68 or early '69. I don't know if it's the original case but it looks to be period correct, one latch is broken, it's fine for storing or carrying the guitar, but you'd want something new if you're going to take it out to gigs. I paid $3750 for the guitar, am pricing it at $3k
