What Makes an SG Valuable?
- Era & Model: Early ’60s small-guard and “Les Paul”-badged SGs are highly collectible; ’60s Specials/Customs are in demand too.
- Pickups: Original PAFs/Patent No. humbuckers or P-90s command premiums; untouched wiring adds value.
- Neck & Headstock: Slim ’60s profiles are popular; pro headstock repairs can still sell well if disclosed.
- Finish & Parts: Factory finish and plastics (e.g., guard, rings) boost price; changed bridges/tuners may affect it.
- Color: Pelham Blue, Polaris White, and other custom colors raise desirability.
- Condition: Clean examples fetch more—player-grade and refins still welcome.

What Other Sellers Say
5 out of 5 stars “I brought in my dad’s ’63 SG Junior. They walked me through what mattered—neck joint, original P-90, wiring—no pressure. I left with a number that felt fair and a lot less stress.”
5 out of 5 stars “My SG had an old headstock repair. They explained how it affects value and still made a strong cash offer. Felt respected the whole time.”
5 out of 5 stars “I sent pics of a ’90s SG Standard and a newer Special. They compared both, told me what each was worth, and paid me same day for the one I sold.”
5 out of 5 stars “Went the consignment route on my Custom. Good photos, steady updates, and I netted more than I expected.”
Why the SG Stands Out
From Angus Young and Tony Iommi to Derek Trucks, the SG’s bite and effortless upper-fret access made it a rock icon—great news if you’re selling.
