This beautiful 1965 Gibson SG Standard, has it’s unique “Maestro” bridge that was offered in the 60’s. It has a “Lyre” featured on it, which is quite Deco looking. The guitar has a rosewood fingerboard. Mostly chrome parts are featured, but a nickel bridge, common for Gibson in the mid 60’s to mix the parts. (Earlier SG’s like this model would be all nickel parts, but chrome was starting to be used). Unusual tuning pegs that are non original are also on this guitar. (Looking like something from Ace’s early KISS Les Paul!) The KISS connection is the guitar was featured in the video for “Every Time I Look at You” as well as some photo shoots in the 90’s Revenge era of KISS. The guitars tone is a sweet vintage SG roar. I did record some parts on my BK3 solo using it, but it does’t appear on any KISS LP’s. I saw Beatle guitarist George Harrison using a model like this in The Beatles “Paperback Writer” video, so I was very excited to get my hands on this axe back in the early 90’s.
