For sale is a highly coveted 2001 Gibson Custom Shop Historic SG ’61 Reissue in Antique Pelham Blue, accompanied by its original hard-shell case.

This guitar has seen some play but is in outstanding condition and performs flawlessly. Upon consultation with Gibson, it has been verified that this guitar is an authentic '61 historic SG with a factory maestro.

The intriguing feature is the presence of a stop tail, and while it's unclear if the guitar was converted at some point or if it left the factory with the maestro, the result is undeniably cool. The color is listed as Pelham Blue, but it certainly appears to be Antique Pelham Blue, boasting an aged greenish tint.

The aging on this guitar appears to be a custom job, as it deviates from Gibson's standard aging process, yet it has been executed exceptionally well, contributing to the instrument's vintage aesthetics. The guitar proudly displays wear, dings, and finish checking, exuding a captivating vintage vibe.

Overall, I would rate its condition a robust 9 out of 10. There are no structural issues such as cracks, repairs, or other concerns. The neck is perfectly straight with no issues, and the original frets are in very good condition with minimal wear.

The instrument has undergone a recent setup, ensuring optimal playability with no buzzing or dead spots. The accompanying original hard-shell case, displaying minor wear, remains in very good condition and functions impeccably. Unfortunately, the certificate of authenticity for this guitar is not available.
