Ultra-rare vintage 1972 Gibson SG-III cherry sunburst, gorgeous, excellent +++ condition, two high-output adjustable-pole mini-humbuckers, killer 70s mojo—arguably the best of the 1970s SGs ever made. Plays and sounds great–and in overall excellent cosmetic condition; Beautiful wood grain as you can see. Very minor surface wear; ZERO BREAKS or REPAIRS. Nice, easy playing set neck with volute; The guitar has the lowest action on earth, and zero buzzing, and no dead spots. I said L-O-W, son! Some really nice birds-eye maple grain on the neck also, you might be able to discern through the reflections. Mother of Pearl dot Inlays. Gorgeous West Coast red alder body. And a n0w unattainable, dense-grained Brazilian rosewood fretboard. The fretboard on this SG is crafted from a very tight and smooth medium-dark Brazilian Rosewood with almost zero signs of wear. All original electronics. Loud high-output mini-humbuckers pickup–same as the Les Pauls of that era.
