6lbs 12oz.
2005 Gibson USA SG Standard — Heritage Cherry
This pre-owned 2005 SG Standard is in excellent condition and represents Gibson’s classic late-1960s-style SG configuration: large “batwing” pickguard, rounded neck, covered humbuckers and full-gloss nitrocellulose finish. Guitar has some minor pick wear. Frets are in good shape for the age of the guitar. No major dings, dents, or abrasions. Guitar comes with the original Gibson Hard Shell Case.
