Welcome Gibsonfreak! That seems to be about a '73 SG Special. http://www.everythingsg.com/catalogs/1973SG_ad.jpg It has minihumbuckers and a Bigsby tailpiece. It looks to be original except for the truss rod cover ( But the TRC might just be turned over). Try to score the case and you should be set! :wink:

thanks

thanks! He's asking 1000 dollars for it, is that a good deal??!!

$800-$900.00 would be better. Flash some green and see what he'll do.Tell him it's missing the Bigsby handle if he balks.You can get a new Standard for 49 more $$ than what he's asking-with case!

thanks TNT

thanks TNT! Could I fix the bigsby for a reasonable price do you think?
