charlie brown Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 My first SG. I forget but I think it was a 69 or 70. It was stolen from my house over 30 years ago and I still miss it. :( With that pickguard, it's a '65, at the latest! Your's has the small pickguard ('61-65), and 6-screw version, which was added in '64! '61-63 had a 4 screw small pickguards! In 1966, they changed the neck heel and joint, for "added strength and stability," and added the larger "Batwing" pickguard, as well. So, your's was even more "vintage" that you thought! Sorry, to hear that it was stolen!! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ouch! Now there's a real kick in the nuts! Thanks for the info nonetheless CB. Sorry, for your pain! The one's that got away, huh? I know the feeling!! I'm still kicking myself, for a '68 ES-355 Stereo (Cherry Red), that I let go, in 1972! There were other's, as well. But, that 355 was a Dream!! "C'est La Vie!"

big jilm Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Here's mine - it is a '61 Reissue that was a Guitar of the Week back in '04. I added a pair of Bare Knuckle Nantucket P90's and a Bigsby B3 with a Towner USA tension bar and hinge plate adapter (I love Bigsbys!). My main guitar!

darling67 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My 1987 SG Standard Nice! Looks just like my black 1991 Standard... case is exactly the same, as well. I recently got a new pick guard made for her... bringing her out of retirement. Am going to post a pic shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Bringing my 1991 Standard out of a semi-retirement. Had her set-up, and had a custom pick guard made, as I've lost the original. The original was black, but I opted for "aged pearl" from WD Music. Now let's see if this place will allow me to post another pic! LOL!.....

Dinosauria Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Current crop: SG Special Pewter with ebony board (I changed the guard and knobs to black), SG 60s Tribute (crazy good, especially for the money), SGX with Ebony Board (I have a black guard for this but one of the screws has a stripped head and I can't get it out.) And the ones that I've let go: 61 Reissue Sg Special Teal Flip Flop finish. I don't have a pic of my old standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
