I found a '72 sg in my grandmothers attic. had been up there for 25 years, in GEORGIA!!!!!!! after a pro setup, new strings and some deoxit, it played like brand new! The only thing was the neck was slightly bowed due to leaning against the wall for so long, the bow was so slight it was barely noticible, or "negligible" as my tech said. My cousin has it now and it still sings!
