Roadhouse USA:
1979 Gibson SG Custom Triple Pickup W/Factory Bigsby in White Custom Order W/OHSC.
This one is a rarity.
A custom order SG Custom Triple pickup with a factory Bigsby.
All stock and original, this is a pretty incredible piece. Listed as an ‘Emergency Order’ from Staff Music in Akron Ohio, the original Norlin order sheet is included, along with the Norlin warranty card that you see pictured. Not only is the guitar extremely rare, it is even more rare to have this kind of provenance with it.
I would rate this guitar in very good to excellent vintage condition. It has been played, but not abused. There are a few marks here and there and some tarnishing to the gold hardware, particularly the pickup covers, as to be expected with a guitar of this era. Nothing egregious or out of the oridinary and certainly no breaks or repairs.
The neck is straight and the frets are in very good shape. The guitar plays well, with a nice action and no buzzing or fretting out. It has a ton of vintage vibe and is hard to put down once you pick it up.
This guitar was purchased many years ago from Gruhn guitars, and even has their original hang tag from that purchase. It has been collector owned and stored away ever since.
Take a look at the pictures. There are a lot of them and they accurately tell the tale as far as condition.
It comes with everything pictured, including the original Gibson hard case.
Again, this is a rare, special order SG Custom with the provenance to show it, in all original condition.
Quite a find indeed.
