Seller's description

1973 SG Standard We’ve just received an SG Standard from the transitional period between model changes, featuring a mahogany body, a 3-piece mahogany neck, a high-quality ebony fingerboard, a small pickguard, and escutcheon-mounted pickups.

As for the nut and frets, there are some areas with a slight layer of finish, so we believe they are original. The frets are low, but players accustomed to 1970s Gibson guitars should have no trouble playing it. Considering its a
