ibson SG Standard (1995) – Excellent Condition, 30-Year-Old Vintage with Natural Checking
I’m offering a 1995 Gibson SG Standard – now a full 30 years old – and in exceptionally well-preserved, excellent condition. This is one of the strongest eras for Gibson USA: stable necks, great mahogany selection, and incredibly resonant instruments.
This particular SG is one of the cleanest mid-90s examples I’ve ever had.
The finish has developed a beautiful natural vintage checking, the hardware has zero patina, and the frets are virtually like new. The neck is straight, the setup is precise, and the guitar plays effortlessly.
A phenomenal specimen from a golden period.
Comes with a Gibson gigbag.
Classic 90’s Tone – Gibson 490R / 490T
The guitar keeps its original Gibson 490R (neck) and 490T (bridge) humbuckers – a quintessential 90’s SG sound:
– warm and slightly compressed
– punchy mids
– articulate but smooth top end
– great for clean, crunch and high gain
Musical, dynamic, extremely reliable.
