[SN 513536] USED Gibson / 1974–75 SG Standard [05]

[SN 513536] USED Gibson / 1974–75 SG Standard [05]

We've just received a 1970s SG Standard!!

Based on the serial number on the back of the headstock, we have confirmed that this guitar was manufactured between 1974 and 1975.

It features a 3-piece mahogany neck with a volute, an ebony fingerboard, and a narrow neck with a nut width of approximately 40mm—characteristic specifications unique to this era.

The pickups are Super Humbuckers developed by Bill Lawrence, who was with Gibson at the time.
This model is also known as the "Tarback" due to the epoxy coating on the back of the pickups.
The escutcheon is likely original, though there is a crack in part of the front side.

Only the front volume pot has been replaced; the other three are original. The capacitors and jacks are also original.
The pot dates cannot be verified via solder marks, but the rear tone pot is marked up to 13774.
A person’s name is carved into the wood of the cavity plate.

The nut retains some paint and is likely original, though several of the side position markers are missing.

While it shows signs of use typical of a vintage instrument, the major parts are largely original. This is a guitar that can be enjoyed as-is in its current condition or restored to suit your personal preferences.
