1976 Gibson G3 bass

Gibson G-3 publicity and pricing information

Pricing

The G-3 came in a range of different colours (COL), and an optional maple body (MPL). These 'extras' cost $40-$50 on top of the alder-bodied natural satin (NS) basses, which were by far the most popular. Even more expensive were the sunburst models (SB), described over the years as sunburst, tobacco sunburst and antique sunburst. Prices listed below are NS/MPL/COL/SB
