A one-owner 1975 Gibson SG Standard that shipped in early 1975. At nearly 50 years old, this SG is looking and playing great; it is very light on playwear and completely original. The guitar’s only modification can be seen between the pickups where the pickguard was cut and two extra screws added for a surface mounted MIDI pickup that’s since been removed. The original wiring harness remains unaltered, with all original solder intact.
The attached photos should show off how clean this guitar is better than we can describe here. The only visible playwear of any significance can be seen by the back’s control cavity and at the back of the neck in the area of the first 3 frets. Neither spot is remarkable, but given how clean the guitar is otherwise, they’re worth noting. Original tuners, original nut (which has never been removed), original hardware throughout with no corrosion to its chrome plating.
The pickups are Bill Lawrence designed “Super Humbuckers” with DC values of 5.1 and 7.3 K. They’re hot, defined, and controlled; and were perfect for the brand of Rock that 70s SGs were partially responsible for creating.
The neck has a typical 70s carve, with a fast feel and small but nicely rounded profile. The nut measures 1-9/16”, the neck depth at the 1st fret is .812” and thickens to .950” at the 12th fret. 24.75” scale, 7.1 lbs.
With period hardshell case.
