1969 Gibson SG Special — Left-handed

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this left-handed 1969 Gibson SG Special.

1969 was a pivotal year for the SG, representing the final stretch of the model’s original late-’60s design era. This example captures the character of that period in exceptional fashion, combining the lightweight feel, distinctive aesthetics, and unmistakable voice that have made vintage SG Specials so desirable. Finished in its original cherry lacquer, this left-handed SG Special remains an outstanding example of Gibson’s late-’60s craftsmanship.

What truly sets this instrument apart is its condition and originality. This SG is all-original and presents with a vibrant finish, retaining a depth and color that can be difficult to find on examples from this era. With below-average wear for its age, it offers a rare opportunity to own a nearly untouched late-’60s Gibson that has been carefully preserved while still retaining the character and charm of a vintage instrument.

This SG Special is accompanied by its original chipboard case.
