Gibson Basses / Dating a 70s Gibson SG guitar?
« on: March 11, 2017, 11:30:29 AM »
Hi, new here - I tried on TalkBass and someone suggested I try here, so any of you Gibson experts: I've been trying to date my 70s SG since I got it in '79, without any luck, I've been to all of the sites that show up on the first few pages of a google search still nothing. Serial number is 738265, stamped on the back of the headstock along with "Made in USA" so it's post 1970. The number would make sense if it had an S suffix, but it doesn't. Checked the control cavity too, no sign of anything there. Any ideas anyone? Anyone know of a good forum to ask on?
It's a fairly standard SG with except it has black minihumbuckers, and a Gibson stamped Bigsby style tailpiece, "Nashville" bridge (I think), small pickguard.
