Listing in Wilco's Reverb store: "Up on the block is a lovely old well played 1967 Gibson SG in players grade from Pat Sansone's personal collection. Pat has played and recorded with this guitar over the years. It has a replacement bridge, a few tiny holes on the body where the old vibrola used to be, It looks to be the original old large guard which is great. Maybe the tuners were replaced for these current gold looking ones"
