Help on buying 62 SG I am eyeing

[ndavis1971]

I’m interested in buying this 62 SG for 9k or so but would like your thoughts on pricing and authenticity. Thanks 

1962 Gibson Les Paul Standard eith Ebony Block tailpiece (RARE) ..with original faded finish and patina with rash on backside, otherwise Very Nice condition! Player condition. Great and Sounds Great!!! Vintage Gibson LP /SG Tone !!! Neck is straight, action is low ... plays like Butter!!! No breaks or cracks or resets. And Fast !! Pickups are original 1962 non T-Tops with 2 black connecting wires to beaded leads, L tool marks are present and black decals are very legible. New leads. Period correct but not actually made with these exact pickups. Bridge reads 7.8 and neck 7.3. Perfect together. .3 Pots are from 41st week 1962 and one is from 1976. Caps appear to be original along with wiring and switch. Bridge is a correct non wire ABR-1 ...not sure about saddles but could be original as well. Original RARE Ebony block behind bridge. Original truss rod cover, pick guard, and back plates. Original nickel tremolo ! Also at one point it was converted to a wrap around stop tail. Studs and a tailpiece included in case if you want to go that route. Replaced tuners as others had been on previously... looked like possibly Schallers. Knobs are replacement as well and possibly strap buttons. Case is correct 62/63 case with gold interior in good used as is condition. (It’s almost 60 years old!!!) It includes the Gibson logo on exterior. 

These early 61-63 Gibson guitars play great and Sound great and lightweight.
