I always fall in love with white Gibson guitars, particularly these three-pickup SG LP Customs.

As I've mentioned in other listings, Gibsons from this early 2000's period are always really good guitars.  This SG is no exception.  The guitar came in with three others from the same era and they're all fantastic.

The guitar is all original with no changes or repairs.  Like most SGs, particularly white ones, there is some finish/binding shrinkage that caused small lines in the finish along the neck binding.  The white finish is sprayed over the neck binding to some degree, and over time these lines can open the finish up to a bit of separation.  You can see this in the upper reaches of the fretboard, on the sides of the neck.  

Other than that, you can tell that the guitar was well cared for.  It is a stunner!  It plays perfectly and set up with low, low action and plenty of room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.
