Blue Fog Experiment Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 New to the forums and thought I'd share of pic of my favorite Guitar - an all original 1973 Gibson SG. I'm hoping someone can help me out though as mine has neck binding and completely flat frets (not worn down). The frets were like this when I got it 25 years ago. Never found another SG like it. Like I said they're not worn down from playing - all frets are flat almost like one of the Fret-less wonders but I've never heard of an SG like that. Anyone out there have any knowledge of something like this. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lungimsam Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That wide peghead is a sweet feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Cool SG, I like the small block inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Seem thats 71-75 SG standards has block inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fog Experiment Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yeah - other SGs I've seen from that period have the block inlays but most don't have the binding and none have ever had the flat frets. The pots check out to '73 so it's a weird guitar but and insane player. Great tone and light has hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylerossi11 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 i have the same year SG standard and just baught it a little over a year ago. also has a bound neck with block inlays. i noticed the same thing about the frets but thought it was just wear from years of being played. they seemed very wide and flat. i dont know if they came from the factory like that or not but either way i think it is a superb feel. one of my favorite guitars that i own!

BigKahune Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nice looking SG. I've never seen and SG with frets like that. Interesting. Wonder if they left the factory like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBENDS Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I don't know anything about the flat frets, but i wonder if you could set the action a bit lower on a neck like that. BlueFog, Kylerossi, how does the action feel on those fine SGs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Wisdoom Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have the same frets in my '77 Gibson Sg Standard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
