daveinspain Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 It's not such a rare guitar... There are a few foe sale on ebay... I think you would have better luck if your guitar had the Lyre Maestro tremolo instead of the Bigsby and the color was cherry... Nothing wrong with your guitar but it's not as desirable as the Maestro... Good luck though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm with Dave. Having said that, some people wait until the last minute. This economy is sucking right now as well. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah Lisa, it's not uber rare......I've been eyeing a 1972 all original SG in mint shape for a much smaller asking price......... As mentioned, the market is saturated right now due to a variety of factors, and the SG has always been viewed as a "player's guitar"...... I say, be patient; Someone will see it and will HAVE to have it.............It is a nice guitar............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinh Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm afraid the brown 71/72 deluxe with the plastic front panel instead of a rear cavity and a Les Paul type pickguard was quite poorly received at the time as a bad design change, and Gibson got rid of those features pretty quickly. It hasn't increased in popularity since then. I have one of these and they are fine guitars. However, any "rarity" is due to the public rejecting its fundamental feature, and Gibson choosing to rapidly go back to the older design. That's not the sort of rariity that creates modern demand. People would much rather have the SG stbndard of that year because it looks like the 1966 model People on E-bay are asking (but not necessarily getting) $3-4K for the traditional looking 71 standard, but typically asking $1.5-2.5K for the deluxe. (there is one up at $2,999 . but it isin collectors condition, and doesnt seem to be attracting any interest)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Don't gauge what your guitar is worth by what you see on e-bay. Nothing is moving except very sought after guitars at very good prices. The guitars that are moving now are being sold by people who have to sell out of necessity and offer them at prices that will sell. Buyers market. You have a great guitar enjoy it. If someone comes along who has to have it and will pay what you want, fantastic, otherwise keep it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
