Plane_Guy Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I purchased a SG a while back and have decided it’s not for me. I’ve had several shops and a couple luthiers go over it. They all believe everything is original except the tuners were replaced. What’s interesting about this guitar is it has what appears to be a factory installed Varitone. The configuration is two pickups, full pick guard, 2 volumes, 2 tones, and is stereo wired. The overall condition is pretty good (Pelham blue has aged to a green and has the usual wear and tear (some dings and dents as well as wear and fading you’d expect on a 52 year old guitar). Does anyone know what it’s worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 What you're describing sounds like a custom order (two pickups, stereo/varitone, Pelham blue). To some, that would create a premium value over a standard model; and to others it would be less appealing and less valuable than a standard model. So, value is somewhat subjective. Condition is as well, of course. I would look for comps on Reverb.com and also perhaps show some photos to some shops who deal in vintage Gibson solidbodies.
