The original pickups have not been included. The wiring harness appears original, although a few solder joints have been touched up. The pickup solder lug on the bridge volume pot has broken off at some point, although a solder connection can still be made.

The original vibrato tailpiece was changed out for a stopbar tailpiece, and the original mounting holes are still visible.

The refinish shows wear in many spots, and some irregularities including runs\/drips and finish sinking into wood pores. The body has numerous small dings and scratches on the front; the back of the body shows considerable buckle rash and several additional dings. The headstock face shows quite a bit of finish wear as well, with numerous dings and chips. There is some finish chipping around the tuner holes, as well as imprints from tuners with a larger washer that were previously installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTech Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Plays well with low action and minor neck relief; the guitar is currently set up with 10s. The frets are wide and tall with minor wear. The visible pot codes date to 1965; the serial number has been obscured by the refinish. The pot codes, original pickup configuration, body shape and style, and vibrato tailpiece date the guitar to 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34709325250695,"sku":"U3092863501","price":2855.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-sg-special-black-refin-1965-u3092863501-17575289356423.jpg?v=1647793752","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/gibson-sg-special-black-refin-1965-1104591","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
