Before you buy a used SG Standard

  • Check the serial number and the neck date. Ask for a photo of the serial (on the headstock or neck plate) and match it to the year the seller gives. A serial that doesn't fit the model's years is a warning sign.
  • Look at the frets. Grooves under the strings on the first few frets mean a fret dress or refret soon, which costs £100–£350. Listings that say "set up" or "refret" are tagged above.
  • Ask what's been changed. Swapped pickups, tuners or bridges are common and fine to play, but a stock guitar holds its value better. Tick "Stock (not modified)" to hide the guitars whose title says they're upgraded.
  • Check the headstock for a repair. Gibson and Epiphone headstocks snap more than most. A well-done repair plays fine but takes 30–50% off the value, so it should be in the title and the price.
  • Be wary of a price far below typical. Fakes (especially of Gibson, Martin and Fender Custom Shop) and scams are priced well under the going rate to look like a bargain. We flag anything 35%+ under similar listings and never count it as a deal. Our fake guitar checklist has more.
  • Think about postage. A guitar needs a proper box and careful packing. Many sellers offer collection only: the location is shown on every listing.
  • Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee only covers you if you pay through eBay. Never pay by bank transfer outside it, however good the deal.

Questions

How much is a used SG Standard worth?

Based on today's eBay UK Buy It Now listings, a used Gibson SG Standard typically costs £1,270, including postage, across 32 listings from £925. New and unplayed examples are typically £1,649. These are asking prices, so a guitar can sell for less, especially with Best Offer. Year, condition, finish and any upgrades all move the price.

How much cheaper is a used SG Standard than a new one?

On eBay UK today a used one is listed at about 23% less than new and unplayed examples (£1,270 against £1,649).

What is the SG Standard?

The classic twin-humbucker SG Standard. Made in USA. Made 1961–now.

Which years of the SG Standard are for sale?

Today's listings that give a year run from 1963 to 2025. Use "Newest year" or "Oldest year" in the sort to find a particular era.

Is it safe to buy a used SG Standard on eBay?

It can be. Pay through eBay so the Money Back Guarantee covers you, buy from sellers with a long, positive feedback record and ask for photos of the serial number, the neck and the frets. We flag new and low-feedback sellers, and warn about prices far below typical, which is where most fakes and scams sit.
