Gibson SG Guitars

You’re right, this is an SG. And there’s a reason you don’t see many of these guitars: the SG-200 were only produced for a little over a year in the early 1970s!

The SG-100, SG-200, and SG-250 all share these common features: maple body (mahogany has also been observed), set maple neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, black headstock overlay with gold Gibson logo, Tune-o-matic bridge with an odd connected base plate and bridge cover, single-coil Melody Maker-style pickups with black covers inscribed with “Gibson,” and an angled control plate with Volume and Tone knobs. The SG-200 has two pickups with two slide switches and was available in black, cherry, or walnut finish. This guitar has grover tuners in the head stock.

According to Gibson’s shipping records, just over 5,000 SG-100, SG-200, and SG-250s were shipped during their short production in 1971 and 1972. Serialization is not a very useful dating tool from this era, but it is likely that this guitar was made in 1971. A total of 2,448 SG-200s were produced in walnut finish, but only 23 were shipped in 1972.

The frets themselves are low and smooth, they appear to have been filed down. This guitar comes with a non original hard shell case with handle.

It's located in NYC, near the GWB. You are welcome to set an appointment to come and play this instrument. I can also ship it anywhere in the US with prepaid postage as well.

Feel free to request more photos and or any additional information that may be helpful for you.
