1974 Gibson SG Standard in Cherry, (Used)

The 1974 Gibson SG Standard in Cherry, now showing a naturally aged finish that has mellowed towards brown, is a vintage solid‑body electric guitar reflecting classic SG design and 1970s Gibson craftsmanship. Its mahogany body features the iconic double‑cutaway shape, providing easy access to the upper frets while retaining the lightweight, contoured feel that made the SG a favourite among rock and blues players. The worn finish and slight checking add character and vintage appeal, highlighting decades of use.

The neck is constructed from mahogany with a comfortable profile, paired with a rosewood fingerboard that has 22 frets and dot inlays. Its 24.75″ scale length contributes to familiar string tension, smooth note articulation, and expressive sustain. The set‑neck construction enhances resonance and playability, while the aging of the wood and finish has further mellowed the tone, giving it that sought‑after vintage character.

Electronics consist of two humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions, controlled by individual volume and tone knobs along with a three‑way selector switch. This setup delivers a versatile range of tones, from warm, rounded neck sounds to brighter, cutting bridge tones, suitable for blues, rock, and classic styles. Hardware includes a Tune‑O‑Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, along with vintage-style tuners that maintain stable tuning while complementing the guitar’s period-correct aesthetic. The 1974 Gibson SG Standard Cherry offers iconic SG tone, classic playability, and authentic vintage character.
