dede1010_2000 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm 53 years old. I bought this guitar when I was 17, in 1973. My first good guitar! I was a wedding guitar player at the time and had my local rock garage band and played this guitar until I started at the university, studying sociology. Then I got married, had kids, so I was not playing guitar anymore. So I sold my 72 SG to my old boss back in 1994. Some 3 months ago, my old boss called me back, saying that he was not playing guitar anymore and offered to sell me back the SG for a fair price... Of course, I said! Because in the mean time, I discovered music assisted with computer, Midi, recording software, all things which where unknown to me in 1994! And none of my kids seemed interested in playing guitar when I sold him the SG in 1994 ( I always had an acoustic guitar on a stand, in my living room, and both of my kids barely even looked at it!) So I bought back my beautiful 1972 SG Standard some 3 months ago. The finish is fainted but the guitar was in excellent condition. No cracks at all. The only thing is that my old boss installed a synth pickup on it and drilled 3 holes in the body... unfortunately. I brought it to my tech and the only work he did was on the electronics. It even did not need a fret dress! I just wanted to share this story with you, guys. It's not the most beautiful SG I have seen (the red ones, I think, are best looking, but I like this natural) And it was my first good guitar! Happy New Year!

Dynadude Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Great story, and a sweet SG. Welcome to the forum. It's good to have at least one guy here who's older than me! Have you considered putting the synth pickup back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dede1010_2000 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks for the welcome, guys. Dynadude, I do not have the synth pickup. He did not sell it to me. Anyway, I wanted the guitar as original as possible. I filled in the small holes. It still shows, but I guess it is part of this guitar's history.
