Gibson Zoot Suit SG - Rainbow - w/Case

Gibson's most striking and psychedelic model, in the most desirable finish.

I'm the original owner, and it's been in my studio the entire time I've owned it, except for two short gigs requiring a stand out guitar.

Hot pickups that are super for crunch rhythms and leads that cut through.

I'd list it as "mint" were it not for some small scratches above the cavity cover, on the back. The cover still has the plastic film on it.
No wear on the frets. They are just like when they left the factory, which means they could use a very light dressing.
All in all, as good as it was when it was hanging in a shop.

Your choice of case:
Original gig bag, which is in good shape but has been used to move other guitars.
Hardshell formfitting SG case.

Both are available for an extra charge.

Comes with the tags.

Silly and I wouldn’t want one, but for the right act/gig it could be a great stage guitar.

Maybe all the neck lamination would prevent headstock snaps?

I have to admit, there is something about that rainbow look at I find captivating (the other versions less so), and not in a bad way, but I've always wondered about the construction's affect on resonance.

I think it doesn't help the seller's $1925 price when reverb puts a price guide suggesting a $1200-1600 average on the side of the listing.

Needs robot tuners.

Can't stand SGs. This guitar isn't helping.

Weren't they selling (or, more correctly, NOT selling) for about $1500 when they were new? I can't imagine paying a premium for one of those. BTW - anybody know how many licks it takes to get to the center?

Looks better than I remembered. Funny price given that Gibson blew these out for $800.
