Gibson SG Guitars

2005 GIBSON SG FADED CHERRY with ACTIVE EMG PICKUPS INSTALLED - I think these are 81/85's ?? Includes a hard case, strap and straplocks !!! Guitar in excellent overall condition, some light scratches on pickguard and body, a few buckle scratches on back (see pix) but nothing major  == good neck with VERY CLOSE TO ZERO FRET WEAR !! When original owner installed EMG's, he obviously didn't think about how thin an SG body is !!! - because the 9 volt battery was taped to the control cavity cover !! It didn't fit inside, so he cut a small notch in cover and just taped it on !! Now, this worked, but == I took it to my tech, and we installed an Eveready #504 battery - this is a 15 volt that's about 1/2 size of regular 9v (see last pic) - according to EMG, these pickups give more headroom and better transient response with greater voltage - and can use up to 27v == this battery is soldered in, should give several hundred hours of use, and would take about 15 minutes to replace - they cost about $9 == much more elegant solution --- AND KILLER SOUND !!!! NOTE - THE GUITAR BODY IS UNMODIFIED
