This early 70’s strat has a white finish that has been aged to a nice cream look. It is all original except for the added Schaller tuners and comes with an older non original hardshell case.

The Gibson J-45 is an iconic American guitar and has appeared on countless stages and recordings. This cherryburst example is from 1963 or 1964; Gibson serial numbers are not definitive for this period.
This is a really good sounding guitar, and is structurally in quite good condition.

The Gibson Byrdland was originally a custom built version of the L-5 and based on suggestions made by Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, two prominent Nashville session players in the mid to late 1950’s (Hank Garland played on many Elvis and Roy Oribison sessions that produced hit records).
The Byrdland was the first ‘thinline’ body and has a 23.5″ scale length, so really ‘wide’ chord voicings are easier. In production since 1955, this is a 1975 example. It’s in great playing shape and it has been played.

Gibson introduced what became the SG during 1961 as a Les Paul model. With the end of the Les Paul endorsement deal for this guitar, the guitars were renamed to SG, though this process didn’t end till 1963 when Gibson finally ran out of the ‘Les Paul’ branded parts! The first production models carried ‘PAF’ pickups and a unique (and quickly discontinued!) side-pull trem. Various configurations of pickups, pickguards, bridges and tailpieces followed.
The 1968 SG Standard featured a larger ‘batwing’ pickguard, two humbuckers, Kluson tuners and the Maestro Vibrola.
This example is in good playing condition but was repaired long ago.
