Custom Admin Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 we used 6-digit serial number in both the '60s and '70s, and in MANY cases it is impossible to designate a specific year to a guitar. check to see if it it says "made in the USA" below the serial number...if, so the guitar is definitely from the '70s, as we did not start putting that on the guitars until 1970. the pickups sound like what is called "T-tops"...

matiac Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I got some old T-tops out of a '74 SG I put in my Epiphone Les Paul, they sound a lot better than what was in it stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
