jockbrown2@yahoo.com.au Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 G'day everyone from Down Under We Aussies love your Gibson Guitars, just like everyone else on the planet! And we all know Angus is a fair judge of guitar character and has done us proud! Its a long way ...... Anyways, I would like to ask for your help regarding an SG I've had for some time now. Its a 1973/1974 Standard (Cherry) , however, it has a dot inlay (Special) fretboard that is original. Everything else on the guitar is original Standard gear of that era and i have been told by Jacksons Rare Guitars here in Sydney that some SG Standards were made with dot inlay fretboards from the factory but they are rare. I've had several people in the industry look over the guitar now and they've said that the SG is all original. Does anyone know how rare they are, what they are worth, how many would have been made that way, were they individual orders from the factory, or any other type of information whatsoever??? Otherwise could you point me in the right direction to find this information out? Many thanks, Jock.
vincentw Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 It sounds like you might actually have an early 70s SG Deluxe. Remember the SG Standard was discontinued and replaced by the SG Deluxe in 1971. Some of these had dot inlays. To confirm, however, please email comprehensive photos to service@gibson.com. As far as your other questions, a vintage dealer can help answer rarity and value.
