Thanks Larry

Its A30724

My cousin has an ES175. He says it's a 1957. The serial number is A 30***. From what I see on the site 1958 started with A 28*** and 1959 started with A 32*** . Could his guitar be s 57? Or is it a 58 or 59?

Can anyone explain the difference in sound/tone between the BL circuit board pickups and the PAFs?

Thanks to everyone. My gut was telling me this was not a '76 from the few photos I saw and you guys nailed it. Thanks again.

Here is a photo of the headstock in question. Does it look like a 76?

is the serial number on the 76 sg a sticker ( transfer) or is it embossed?
