Gibson Les Paul SG Custom white

A Gibson Les Paul Custom SG guitar was one of the guitars played by Mike Rutherford as a member of Genesis. It is thought to be an early 1960s model, with three pickups.

The Gibson SG was one of Mike's main studio instruments in the 1980s. He recorded most songs on the Genesis album (1983) with this guitar, especially the rhythm parts on "It's Gonna Get Better" which Phil Collins filmed him overdubbing at The Farm. The guitar is also seen in the music video for "Mama". However, the guitar eventually fell by the wayside and Mike lost it - either it was borrowed by someone else or stolen.
