Gibson SG Bass

by David
(London)

My bass guitar is a 1969 Gibson SG EB-0 with one original metal pickup and an extra added one. Apart from that and the strings, everything else is completely original.

A few scratches and nicks but still works brilliantly and gives a nice rich tone.
Original hard case too.

No available serial number (haven't opened the neck to check though).

**The added pickup is going to lessen the value as far as collectors are concerned. The market is very dominated by original condition guitars.
