warost Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi Guys, I have a Gibson SG standard with a serial number of 811836, the serial number is inked and not pressed, this doesnt show on photos but trust me I can tell these things, this according to Gibson is for a 66 or 69 model, I have been trying to work out which it is, I have added some pictures to see if any of you guys recognise any of the trademark things, it does not look to have been modified or repaired, the soldering is all looking original, it has the non volute neck but a small neck joint, the bigsby has been removed but thats a pretty standard thing, anyway see what you think guys. Thanks for any help. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The problem is there are a lot of overlapping serial numbers for this era, so it's hard to say what year exactly. I would guess a '69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 With those small bevels at the twin horn i would think it's a late '60 or early '70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
