Gibson SG Special from 1973 – All Original + OHSC

Beautiful and 100% original Gibson SG Special from 1973, featuring the sought-after mini humbuckers from the Norlin era and a factory-installed Bigsby. The walnut brown finish shows the wood grain beautifully and has aged with elegance – glossy and full of character.

Weight: only 3.3 kg
Neck width at nut: 40 mm
Refret: Professionally done in 2022 by Danish luthier Jakob Reitz.
Setup: Low action, fresh strings, and a fully functional truss rod.

Electronics, finish, and hardware are all original – nothing has been modified. The original Gibson hardcase with purple plush interior is included.

The neck has a slim, fast-playing profile, typical of the era. The mini humbuckers deliver a bright, punchy tone – somewhere between a P90 and a full-size humbucker, but with less noise and more focus. Perfect for vintage blues, rock and garage tones.

This is a lightweight vintage guitar with tons of vibe, patina, and honest aging. No repairs, no breaks, no hidden issues – just a very clean and original player from the golden years.

Located in Aarhus, Denmark. I’m Danish and happy to drive to the Danish-German border to meet a buyer.

No trades – for sale only.
