1964 Gibson SG Special, Serial Number 220183

The Gibson SG™ Special offered dual P-90 pickups and refined aesthetics while introducing the lightweight, double-cutaway mahogany body that made the SG series a favorite among players. By 1964, it had become a go-to instrument for rock and blues guitarists, prized for its raw, articulate tone and fast-playing neck.

This 1964 Gibson SG Special remains a beautiful example of the model, with a full, rich cherry color that has maintained its depth over the decades. The guitar is in very clean original condition, with light nicks and dings throughout. The most notable wear is on the edge near the rear control cavity, though it does not affect playability. It retains its original P-90 pickups, Kluson® Deluxe tuners, and Lightning Bar Wraparound bridge, delivering the dynamic, punchy sound that has defined the SG Special for decades.

Ships in its original black Lifton™ case and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
