Just found this up for sale, described as a standard but looks pretty identical to me guitar junction sg

Nice one Biggles, they could be twins! Yours seems to have retained more of the cherry than mine. I bought it second hand from musical exchanges on snow hill in Birmingham (now the reverb store) in about '85. It was a choice between the SG and a flying vee but I didn't think I could carry that off !. The previous owner must have had a pretty limited repertoire as the top two or three frets were worn down to the board on the high strings, which I didn't notice when I bought it (doh !) so I had to get it re-fretted pretty much straight away. As far as I know it was completely original when I got it, I changed the tuners for gigging because it just wouldn't stay in with the originals. I can't think what possessed me to get gold ones tho : - | I've just had it serviced by Guitar Studio Evesham and it now plays and sounds like a dream.

Thanks for all your help guys, that's been really useful. Amazing how much variation there is in the range

Thanks for the info 80LPC and Blackie, much appreciated. You're obviously well versed in the black arts of gibson spotting. Would I be right in saying this is an uncommon model ? I've not seen many others like it.

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum so hello to you all !. An now I'm going to bore you with the perennial 'what is my guitar?' question. So here goes... I've owned my guitar for approx 25 years, bought second hand from what was then Musical Exchanges in Birmingham. I't's clearly an SG but I've never actually known the precise model and age of it. From what I've been able to find out I believe it may be a '74 special but I would greatly appreciate the forums views on this. I'm going to attempt to create image links below, bear with me if it goes wrong ... Main image: The link below should get you a set of images on flickr that show the details ...
