Gibson SG3 Special FADED White 3 PICKUP 490 PU Tone Selector Rare & Clean! 70523
Description
This is a killer 2007 Gibson SG3 Faded 3 pickup guitar in worn white. It is in excellent cosmetic and playing condition. All original and super clean condition. Neck and frets in great shape. Has triple dip of Gibson's 490 pickups and a very innovative 6-position tone selector switch.
Surprised more guitars don't have this. You can get SO MANY tones out of this guitar. Mahogony body and neck--total sustain and tone. Condition is great. No case. Weight is a very trim 6 pounds, 13 ounces. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
