My "new" 74 SG Special

Recommended Posts

Just picked up this beauty. 74 Special pots date to late 73. This is my first guitar with mini humbuckers and my second SG after getting my first one 30+ years ago. It has a lot of grime on it so it is going in for a good cleaning and setup. The pickgaurd is missing so I hope somebody here can send me a tracing of one in the near future. I read that some people don't care for these pickups but I am loving them.

They must be quite rare now, I remember seeing one around the time they came out and haven't seen another in person ever since. What stands out is the plastic covers on the minis, not sure if any other guitar ever had those. Nice !

Before you clean it, trace it out from the dirt. I can see the outline from here.

 

Hope I am not too late.

 

I thought of that after I dropped it off :( I just dropped it off this afternoon. I'll post pics once she is all cleaned up. I am hoping someone here with a special sees this and can email me a tracing
