Epiphone '61 SG/Les Paul Standard from the "Inspired By Gibson Custom Shop" series. Bought for use on a project, but has never been played. Pickguard still has the protective plastic from the factory. This guitar has literally sat in the case in the closet since it was bought new (case still has the plastic on the handle). Speaking of the hardshell case, unlike the usual black Epiphone case, this one is the vintage brown style with bright pink lining, and is quite nice itself. The Gibson Burstbuckers on this one sound awesome, and the action on this guitar is terrific. I really like the satin white finish on it, which makes it stand out from the usual cherry finished SG Standard. This model has been discontinued and is no longer available, but here's your chance to score this unplayed beauty!
