1969 Gibson SG Melody Maker D with Rare Original Custom Finish

Description: 1969 Gibson SG Melody Maker D electric guitar in a rare custom dark red burst finish. A beautiful guitar in great condition, the only damage is a small knock on the peghead. One volume knob has been replaced, and some of the original screws are a little rusted (purely cosmetic). It sounds fantastic while being easy to play. Serial number: 857892 – die-stamped on peghead rear. The serial number of this instrument could indicate a date of manufacture in the year 1966 or 1969, but is insufficient to indicate a definitive date because Gibson re-used some serial number sequences during this period. However, the presence of the classic-size “open book” peghead shape is consistent with a manufacture date late in the year 1969.The custom professional re-finish is in excellent condition.
