Gibson 1998 SG-Z Platinum Super Rare SGZ Guitar 78457
Description (more pics below)
This is a stupid rare 1998 Gibson SG-Z guitar in Platinum finish. They only made this model for two years. The last few sold on Reverb for $2500 and $3000. I’m am pricing this much lower because the previous owner got very creative with paint on the back of the guitar.
The neck pickup is the factory stacked humbucker, which is stock. The bridge pickup is an early pre-2004 Burstbucker Pro. Great pickup, better sounding than the stock 500T these came with. Sound and playability are still great on this. Frets have some grooving but since they are very tall frets, it’s still quite playable. Fret perfectionists would want to do a level. These have a slim fully bound neck with ebony fretboard, lighting bolt headstock inlay, double diamond neck inlays, and tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru design. Tuners and all other parts appear factory stock.
Basically this is a chance to get a very rare model for hundreds less than going rate. The paint on back might be able to be removed but it feels pretty permanent. There are some superficial chipping/cracks around the nut but they are not going anywhere. very solid. Weight is 7 pounds, 11 ounces. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks for looking.
About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
