There are honest signs of wear throughout, including small dings around the body and natural wear to the original nitro finish in common contact areas, none of which affects playability or structural integrity. The electronics operate as they should and sound fantastic. It is a wonderfully \"broken-in\" vintage instrument with genuine character, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66426725269853,"sku":null,"price":1999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/3470\/2429\/files\/1974GibsonSG-Walnut-01.jpg?v=1794244451","url":"https:\/\/thegita.co.uk\/products\/1974-gibson-sg-standard-walnut","provider":"Guitars In The Attic ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
