1971 Gibson SG Standard

By the early 1970s, the Gibson SG Standard had become firmly established as one of the company's most recognisable solid body models, with its lightweight mahogany construction and distinctive double cutaway design proving particularly popular with rock players. This 1971 example features the large black pickguard associated with the period, along with the volute behind the headstock, introduced by Gibson around this time. The mahogany body and neck retain the familiar SG construction, with a pair of original Gibson humbuckers fitted beneath covers that appear to have been removed at some point.

The guitar shows some honest play wear, mostly confined to the back of the body, but remains in good overall condition for its age. The control knobs are newer replacements, while the rest of the guitar appears largely original, although the pickup covers may have been previously removed from the original Pat No. humbuckers. This guitar includes a non original case.

The guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 2 year warranty.
