2011 Gibson Robby Krieger Signature SG 50th Anniversary Edition, Near-Mint w/ Case

$3,299.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2011 Gibson Robby Krieger Signature SG 50th Anniversary edition in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and warranty card. The Robby Krieger Signature SG was inspired by the Doors guitarist’s personal favorite ‘67 SG Standard, paired with the neck shape of a particularly favored ‘61 SG. Features include a correct ‘61-style neck heel, push/pull Phase Reverse control, long frame Maestro Vibrola, and ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers.

The body and neck are crafted from Honduran mahogany, and this SG weighs 7lbs 15oz, balancing well on a strap. The mahogany construction lends this SG a certain natural midrange growl and warmth, and these qualities are faithfully captured by the ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers. Featuring Alnico II magnets, these pickups have a smooth treble bark with tailored midrange for optimal clarity. The neck pickup is sweet and articulate, and the bridge has a focused upper-midrange bite. Additionally, the push/pull Phase Reverse control at the Neck Tone knob enables slinky out-of-phase sounds. This Robby Krieger SG has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
