All things considered, it seems that just about every time I read a thread on this forum or on another forum about an older guitar somebody will almost always say that it is "overpriced". This is relative. $2400 is around about what I would expect a well maintained no need to be repaired completely original and very playable 1971 SG Special would cost. The SG in question in this thread has changed tuners and a repaired headstock. Not that these are bad things. Sometimes repairs and changes need to be made to get an older guitar into good playable condition. But this lowers the value in varying degrees. Not that this is a bad thing either since sometimes it makes older guitars more affordable to working musicians. But I would pass on this one.
