To all: I think I have decided to keep this one as it's my dad through & through. He modified the guitar and it's a one of a kind. I have a 1966 ES-335-TDW Thinline Semi-Hollow Electric Archtop with the Walnut finish and the ES-125 TC 1960 Thinline Fully HOllow Ele Archtop with one pickup. Both are in fantastic shape, again, slight modifications but the original parts are in the cases and no modifications i can't undo. Probably gonna part with these along with my Falcon GA 19RVT Amp circa 1964. Should make someone very happy.

Thanks Sparquelito. I am thinking 1965 with the small guard. How do you think the addition of the stereo/mono switch and the two extra control knobs will affect the value? Pretty sure those weren’t stock.

Hello. I have a few of my father’s old Gibson’s that have been setting in a closet since his death in ‘78. I picked up his old bass and decided bass is my lane. Considering parting with 2 or three Vintage electric guitars. One appears to be a 1965 Gibson SG JR Cherry finish (Serial #540332) that he modified by adding a functional stereo/mono switch + 2 extra control knobs with new electronics that have been installed and look like they are supposed to be there. I have an additional two extra control knobs and electronics in the case that appears to be the original two. This modification gives the appearance of the ‘65 SG Special. The two control knobs that are supposed to be on the Jr work. I need to check the connections on the other two knobs to determine if they are purely cosmetic or functional. The Stereo/Mono switch works. And, I have the original case and a few extras. Trying to determine the value as I haven’t seen anything like it online. It is is great shape for the age. Thoughts??? As this one is quite unique, I might keep this one and consider selling the other two as it’s growing on me.
