NGD 1983 SC-3

Post by ShawnP »

Picked up an ‘83 SC-3. Needed a lot of love but she’s back in business and an absolute beauty to play! Posting pictures on here is always impossible for me, but here’s a link hopefully it works!

The SC-3 is far more impressive although the Sterling Albert Lee is fun if you dont want to drop big cash on the MM version.

Congratulations! SC-3 are fun guitars. I especially love that first body style.
Cheers, Dan

I have completely fallen in love with it! It was a mess when I snagged it a couple weeks ago, but lots of tlc later it is absolutely amazing to play! She’s lived a hard life, but still has so much mojo in her!

Beautiful guitar! I hadn't seen one with white pickup covers like that. It looks sharp! Congrats!

From the little bit of poking around I did when I was researching this before I decide to pick it up apparently the white with white pick ups is fairly rare.
