I have one for sale!  It is pearl white with gold hardware and is a 1986 'Blue Jeans' model SG-7.

Yeah, I like it!  

Is that an old one in amazing condition, or have they reissued it?

that particular image is of a reissue. seems like they've reissued them occasionally over the years.

I've always liked the look of these as well. Never played one though.

I played a load of them today (including a late 60s one), bizarrely! They are sort of Squier level playability wise. The trem is quite nice though, as is the fadeable coil humbucker.

edit:  trem feels a bit like a kahler

Denmark Street - the shop at the end on the left which has 3 floors near the 12 Bar Club. They seem to have a few 60s, 70s and 90s ones.

(naturally they were all overpriced)
