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.

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.
