81 SG with no Made in USA stamp


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 I’m looking at an 81 SG. The serial number on the back of the headstock checks out, however there is no “Made in USA” stamp. 

Ive read the guidance detailing that it should have the number and “made in USA “stamp,  however looking at photos of guitars from this era there seems to be some variation.

Can anyone please help? Is this guitar legit? 

Help would be much appreciated.

Post some pictures, that is the only way to tell because counterfeits utilize real serial numbers. With that being said, some years did not have the "Made in USA" but I am not sure off hand of those exact years. Pictures however I could tell if it were real or not.

Thanks you

The guitar has sold now, but I’ll try to get some pics to look at as I’m interested to learn about the subject. 

Just need to figure out how to get the images small enough to upload.

Cheers 😀
