http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-GIBSON-EBO ... 53fb219ce5. the year I was born.I don't really care for the muddy tone of these but some guys love em.

Ive never seen that pickgaurd configuration before or a split head stock in the 70s?
Even the head stock tussrod cover is upside for a lefty
But the back cavity is ok.

Those are two pickguards. Seems like a legit lefty, probably someone (righthanded) has played it and had the (not) brilliant idea of putting an extra pickguard on..

.....and SOLD, didn't take long. Anyone from here buy it?

I did. Took a flier on it.

The second pick guard gave me slight pause. As did the bridge/tail piece, but I saw the same tailpiece on a '66 SG today at GC Hollywood, so...

About 10 years ago, I bought a slotted headstock lefty on ebay, took it to a repair shop in Hollywood and they closed up shop and vanished and I never saw it again.

I don't think this is the same one, as the one I bought has a major neck repair. We'll see when it arrives.

Somehow, getting one of the '13 lefty SG basses from Jimmy at Southpaw got me wanting a vintage one again.

It arrived and was a pleasant surprise. No neck damage/repair, condition as described or slightly better.

Years of flatwounds were good to the frets.

Bought a bridge cover on ebay and it's off to my guitar guys for set-up.

Congrats, it looks like a good buy to me !

glad it was all it was purported to be, and that it arrived in good shape. Congrats!

Looking forward to your impressions and thoughts about this bass once you get it back, and start spending time with it....

The neck is slimmer than the SG bass (2013) I got from southpaw. Much more like a T-bird, but short scale. For sure, it's that classic "Mudbucker" sound. I want to play Sabbath covers when I'm holding it. Truss rod was a little tweaked, but Performance Guitar worked it out, along with the bridge alignment. Got a replacement bridge cover off ebay. Won't ever be the the day-to-day stage bass, but glad I have it.
