1973 Gibson SG Standard

Summary: The 1973 Gibson solid bodies leaflet details the SG Standard as being better than ever with new Super Humbucking pickups. The rhythm pickup delivers an extra clean sound while the lead has just enough “dirt” added to make it interesting. The Standard offers the light, fast sensitive touch that makes it one the industry’s “Standard”. This 1973 Gibson SG is fine example this model. The strap buttons have been upgraded with Schaller S-Locks. This guitar plays great, and is in fine vintage condition.
