Greetings and thank you for your interest in this listing for a stunning, Vintage, 1973 Gibson SG Custom electric guitar .

First of all, this is undoubtedly a professional instrument: it sounds superb and is in more than exceptional aesthetic condition. Meticulously maintained by its former owners, it exhibits only slight signs of wear visible only upon the closest inspection.

This Custom SG guarantees TOP-tier playability and delivers a truly devastating sound across clean, crunch, and lead tones alike. Beyond its performance, it is a stunning piece of craftsmanship—a true wooden sculpture that demands admiration and takes center stage on any floor.

With half a century of history behind it, this guitar has seen plenty of action, and trust me, its best is yet to come!

The neck is fast, smoth and perfectly straight and the truss rod works properly. The stunning ebony fingerboard remains in MINT condition.

NO breaks, NO repairs, and NO modifications whatsoever.

Please note that one of the four knobs (see photos) and one screw on the backplate are not original.

The nut was replaced and a fresh Pro refret job was masterfully performed by a famous luthier in Rome, resulting in flawless action and perfect string spacing. Aside from these maintenance updates, everything is exactly as it left the factory in 1973.

Features its original electronics, with all four potentiometers matching and dating to the 44th week of 1973.  Most importantly, the electronics are connected with the original, untouched solder joints. NO modifications, NO "upgrades," and NO repairs — just pure 1970s Gibson tone as it left the factory.

Comes with the original Gibson hard shell case which is also in Excellent/MINT condition and the super rare, authentic, Gibson owner's manual!

Grab this one without delay and enjoy its playability: Gibson guitars like this one will be worth huge money in a few years.
