dalegreeca Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi Everybody. I have a Gibson SG, serial number 92975634 (made in 1995, manufactured October 24th, in Nashville, 134th guitar made that day). I believe this guitar is a '61 reissue. It has a small pick guard and '57 humbuckers, for example. How do I know for sure whether it's a '61 reuissue, or not? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Your guitar is a 61 reissue, there's no doubt about it. The small pickguard and 57 classic humbuckers should tell you it's a 61 reissue. The sg standards today have larger pickguards and 490R and 498T humbuckers. Also, the neck joint will be at the 21st or 22nd fret. (EDIT: it is the 22nd fret). Gibson SG Standards' neck joint is at the 19th fret. Oh and welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yew Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The neck joint should be skinny like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalegreeca Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for the responses. Yes, it definitely has full access to the 22nd fret, so it's gotta be the '61 reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes' date=' it definitely has full access to the 22nd fret, so it's gotta be the '61 reissue.[/quote'] All sgs have full access to the 22 fret, just some models join then neck and body at a different spot.

dalegreeca Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 OK, poor choice of words on my part. My neck joint looks like the one in the photo, giving me fuller access to the 22nd fret than I would have on an SG Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATSBY Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Also the larger headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
