This original 1973 Gibson SG had a completely broken headstock!
NS guitar workshop fixed this problem and restored the guitar to a perfect condition.
Apart from the headstock repair, we restored the tuners and the Bigsby tremolo of this guitar.

You can also hear the guitar on this videoclip:

  • can you repair my 73 SG neck? and keep serial #,belonged to good friend who passed away,would like to keep as new.

  • @gerritr1 Yes, no problem !

  • You are right.

    It's a 73 guitar. We made a mistake in dating the guitar.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • I've just started working on an old SG copy in a similar state to this one, but I'm no professional and am trying to get people's advice on the best way to proceed.

    I have a video on my channel going over the current state of the guitar, if you get a chance I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. :)

    Great work on this one btw!

  • I think that is what my 74 custom damage looked like before it's repair

  • How can I get in touch with you to have mine repaired? Where are you located?

  • can you repair my 73 SG neck?

  • @NickR1980 Yeah, for some reason I was thinking of the Gibsons of the '80s. Don't ask me why I got them mixed up with the '70s Gibsons. I agree that 1970s Gibsons are shit. I've seen a few particularly bad examples of some with serious problems

  • @NickR1980 Some of them. I think the Les Paul Customs of the 70s were some of the best ever built

  • You shoud add some Music

  • hey that looks familiar!
