1963 Gibson SG Special with wide neck and small guard
In 1961, the specifications were changed from the single-cutaway Les Paul model to a one-piece Les Paul model with a deep, sharp double cutaway and thin mahogany body. The name itself was changed to SG (abbreviation of Solid Guitar). The single-cutaway Les Paul was later revived, but the SG remained a long-selling guitar that is still on the market today. It is one of the masterpieces produced by Gibson, which has captivated many musicians, including Pete Townsend, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, George Harrison, and Eric Clapton.
This 1963 SG Special has a small pickguard and small head, which were used up to 1967, a one-piece mahogany neck, which was used up to 1969, and a solid neck joint that integrates the back side of the body with the neck, which was used from 1963 to 1967, The head angle is 17 degrees and the neck is wide, which is the specification until around 1964, the compensated bridge, which is the specification until around 1965, and the original Gibson P-90 single pickup are mounted.
The single sound produced by the vintage P-90 is thicker, more lustrous, and stronger than that of a normal single pickup. The thin, easy-to-play neck and the body, which is much more resonant after being played in actual competition, give this guitar a mellow vintage SG sound. This is a vintage SG that is always talked about.
