{"product_id":"gibson-sg-standard-walnut-1975","title":"Gibson SG Standard Walnut, 1975  [USED]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Norlin-era Gibson SG Standard in Walnut finish was built in Kalamazoo during 1975 and is in good original condition including the 'Tarback' pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lovely vintage guitar is in overall good physical and playing condition, and it has been played.  Fret wear is moderate but the finish wear is light considering the guitar is half a century old!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a small crack in the body leading from the upper bass side neck pickup trim ring screw to the cutaway.

Small vintage style pickguard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics appear to be original, beginning with a set of 'Tarback' pickups - the Gibson \"Super Humbuckers\" designed by Bill Lawrence.  In an effort to modernize the line, Lawrence made these pickups significantly hotter while retaining top-end clarity by using a smaller number of coil winds and stronger Indox 7 ceramic magnets.   These are followed by an original set of 300K individual volume and tone pots, a Switchcraft three-position switch, and the output jack.  The 'Barrel' style speed knobs are original.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;
