freddairy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've been watching this clip of Kenny on youtube tonight and wondering if his SG is a Historic or a USA '61 RI. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondJig Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 DOn't like it either way, the horn are too big and the bevels too small, the color looks faded or aged so I'd pick Historic. I'd go for the new 2013 Standard over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 very cool video Hmm was a bit hard to say, it do look like abr-1 brigde. But early 2000 had those? It got a pretty deep body bevel on the low e side, that speaks for custom shop. But if you look at the distance from pickguard to top fretboard , i mean the plastic between neck pickup and fretboard. Hard to see proper, but it kinda looked like a 61 ri. But I do think its custom shop but i ain't 100% sure Again cool vid, enjoyed that one!!

charlie brown Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Headstock shape indicates (to me) it to be a "Historic" VOS version. The newer '61's have a bit wider upper headstock bout. The Historics have a headstock, that's less wide, at the upper part, like the original '61-64's had, most often. However, there was some variance, that way, even back then. But, unless it's a really "clean" original, I'd say it's looks more like a VOS "Historic" than, the standard '61. But, only he knows, that, for sure.
