It has 2 pick ups and 3 controls. I posted at the time but didn't have any photos. cheers Brian (Scotland). Attached thumbnail(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Appears to be an '84 SG "Special!" They did the 3 knob controls (as opposed to 4), and the odd placement for the toggle switch, for some reason, back then. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least the configuration is consistent, with it being "stock." However, whether or not the pickups, or electronic's are original, only the previous owner(s) could tell you. Might try looking into the control cavity, and seeing what the pot dates/numbers are. If they seem consistent with 1984 installation, then at least those are (probably) original. The pickups could be Gibson's Tim Shaw era "Dirty Fingers?" Not sure, about that, though. Just a guess. Good Luck! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
