This Norlin-era SG pairs a rare unbound ebony fretboard with the SG's otherwise traditional mahogany construction, yielding a more glassy top end and greater note attack and articulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis SG Standard has plenty of natural warmth and midrange growl on tap, and the original pair of \"Tarback\" humbuckers have a different magnet structure and fewer winds than the T Tops produced in the same era. Coupled with the black epoxy that gave these humbuckers their name and ensures superior feedback rejection by suppressing unwanted microphonics, the Tarbacks are a lively, sparkling pickup pair. Plugged in, the bridge pickup has a surprising bark and clarity, but with a smooth top end, while the middle and neck positions have plenty of bold sweetness and percussive cut. This SG Standard weighs 6lbs 12oz, professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Mahogany (three-piece)\u003cbr\u003e- Shape: Slender C, measuring .795” 1st fret, .975” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e- Fretboard: Ebony (unbound), small block inlay\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear beneath the G and B strings on frets 1-2\u003cbr\u003e- Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e- Nut: 1 9\/16”\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Gibson-branded (Schaller-made)\u003cbr\u003e- Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to 1973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Tarback humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e- Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to 17th week of ‘73\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: “Harmonica” bridge, stopbar\u003cbr\u003e- Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, black speed knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original gloss Cherry nitro lacquer finish has aged to a rich Walnut hue, with a sliver of wear along the back lower bout body edge, shallow buckle rash, and various minor nicks and finish scratches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA modern Gibson hardshell case is included.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50533409161472,"sku":"100661","price":3299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_501c9450-846b-471f-abef-633e09baf1e8.jpg?v=1791233406","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1973-gibson-sg-standard-vintage-guitar-walnut-w-ebony-board-tarback-pickups-case-2","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
