nick1976 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hello, i am a new member of this Forum. I have 3 different Gibson SG guitars, and i was told that one of these is a 1966 Gibson SG Special but how can i be sure of that? The Serial Number on the back of the headstock is 870820. I post a couple of pics of it. Thank you, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Based on the larger pickguard surrounding the pickups which began in 1966. The serial# ....by my book makes it a 1967. You could determine the code dates from the vol/tone pots. If any of these are dated 1967 than it can,t be a 1966. Serial #'s alone were a little loose in this era.
