hellion102792 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 That is a KICKASS looking SG... great condition for a '60s model. You could try opening up the back control plate and reading the codes on the pots, providing they're original. Those are custom pickups, right?

dickey Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 That SG is probably an early 70's standards. It is not from the 60's, as the bevels & contours lessened quite a bit to where they are here in the early 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantric Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Its a 68 to 71 era. By 72 they dropped the maestro whammy , ABR-1, and went with the long travel Schaller bridge and ring mounted P.A.F. type pickup mount. Re PU's - Looks like a pair of DiMarzio Dual Sounds - which are Super Distortions with individual Series/parallel switches fitted to the pick guard. It may be ugly underneath. But looks like it has been kept secure in a temperature controlled closet since 1978. Nice score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
