I would recommend playing this on demo with your eyes closed, and tell me if it doesn't play in tune, but yeah, the twist is noticeable when you stare down the barrel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you couldn't give a damn, as long as the guitar plays in tune all the way up the neck, then read on. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal tarbacks in place, original hardware, Brass nut in place of the original (increases sustain haha). Poker chip is a replacement. Pots date to 1976, with new soldering (we suspect replaced with decade correct pots)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour has aged to yellow, looks incredible in the flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial dates with no measure of doubt to 1973.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is stamped SECOND. Why, who knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, there was no option for white in an SG Custom in 1973, so I suspect that this was a custom order. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill running the original frets, low and flat, but dressed (bear in mind Gibson frets at this time were low, flat and wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck is the classic slim taper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout a doubt, this is an absolute ripper of a guitar, just remember that you mostly use your ears to play music, and rely less on your eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSN 000232\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 3.75kgs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"License plates are runnin' out of my ears\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'd give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr even a bottle of real cheap wine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut that's the price you pay to be public animal number nine, number nine, oh\" - Alice Cooper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53090137702712,"sku":"ET4287","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/3554\/files\/ET42874-10-26-6898.jpg?v=1791336852","url":"https:\/\/echotone.com.au\/products\/1973-gibson-sg-custom-usa-white-ohsc","provider":"Echo Tone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
