Not the OG case?Their Reverb listing says the frets are low but playable. It’s been up 18 days with no offers.
It will cost them more to sell it online so
their bottom dollar for a local sale might be around $3600. Now subtract a fret job and a real case and you’re back to $3k.

1972 Gibson SG Standard w/case | Reverb
The 1972 Gibson SG Standard in Heritage Cherry, this is the first year of production for this model. The Heritage Cherry finish has faded but still holds its color under the pickguard and hardware. Featuring all original hardware, a stop tail piece being featured on an sg for the first time. Orig...reverb.com
Ooops, that one has a case, I confused it with a different one.Not the OG case?
3k is more than 2x what I paid for my '74 Standard that is in really nice shape. Still cherry red and no breaks. Also original case. Granted this was before COVID but not by much. And that was full asking price at the local GC. No lowballing original owners. It's a great guitar but not a $3k or $4k guitar. Strictly in my own opinion of course. There are plenty out there still.View attachment 50334 Local Shop has this guitar in. 1972 with soft shell case. Serial # 779229 asking 4k. Two questions:
1. I offered 3k and they said no. Am i crazy to offer more?
2. Was this guitar made in Kalamazoo, MI?
Thank you!
I concur. You could get SO many nice guitars between what they are asking and what you are offering. I get the whole insane price thing with vintage 50s LPs, but I've heard plenty of modern SGs that sound as good or better than vintage SGs...it is a pretty level playing field, which in turn doesn't justify some of the prices I'm seeing on these guitars. A lot of people look at these 70s SGs as red-headed stepchildren, even though I like them. They are not particularly highly favored, and some of the higher prices you are seeing on these might be because people have been priced out of the 60s models, and this is the next best thing for a vintage SG. Might be a good idea to let the market cool and little and keep your eyes open for the deals.3k is more than 2x what I paid for my '74 Standard that is in really nice shape.
