Gibson SG Standard
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The SG Standard is the workhorse center of the SG market, which makes it both liquid and demanding. There is no shortage of them, so the used market can afford to be picky about structural health, fret life and whether the guitar still feels lively rather than merely intact. The easy sellers are the ones with no drama and the right amount of bite.
Individual Listings (Used Market)
Used-condition sales and current used listings. Brand New listings excluded.
Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $1,150 and $1,450; anything under $1,125 is worth a close look. Prices have been largely flat (+1.4%) vs. 12 months ago. The market is predictable month to month.
This is a liquid market at ~49/month in recent sales — buyers have leverage and can afford to wait for the right example.
The market isn't particularly condition-sensitive (~4% spread). A player-grade example trades close to a clean one.
Related models
Closest sibling: same price with a slimmer 61-spec taper neck and more period-correct appointments.
P-90 alternative at a similar price: same mahogany-slab body with vintage-voiced single coils instead of humbuckers.
LP counterpart at a higher price: same humbuckers in the heavier carved-top single-cut body — useful comparison.
