Gibson SG Classic | Ebony Stain | '99

Rare discontinued Classic Guitar from the year Gibson debuted the SG Classic line in 1999. Here is a first model with a super rare ebony finish!! 
You can see the finish differ different ligh.
 
In 1961, the new SG (solid guitar) body shape with double pointed cutaway was originally intended to bring a new style to the Les Paul line. But without Les Paul's approval, they were renamed the SG during 1963. The first two years of SG production (1961-end of 1963) in this series had Les Paul logos on their pegheads or the area below the fingerboard.

The SG Classic debuted in 1999, inspired primarily by the late 1960s SG Special. It  varied from the SG Standard primarily in its use of P-90 pickups instead of humbuckers, and the wider “batwing” style pick guard.
 
It has marks of use and slight dings around as seen on the images. The neck is paint is slightly worn however this is not felt whilst playing. The machine heads have been upgraded to Grover ones for better tuning stability. 
 
Otherwise, the guitar is amazing player grade condition. It comes along an original Gibson brown hardshell case with red interior. 
 
It’s possible that these models may enjoy a building reputation as a fine player's guitar - one of those happy accidents where Gibson succeeded beyond what they originally set out to produce. It is super comfortable and easy to play.
