1975 Gibson SG Standard Walnut w/Case

Description

The SG Standard made a reappearance in October 1972 with slight alterations, such as a return to the angled neckline and recessed edges. Some SGs still donned T-Top pickups until early 1973, at which point the Gibson logo was redesigned to be more rounded and the headstock slimmed at the waist.
