stringkilla Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Not sure if this is the right place for this but. I have owned my SG Custom White guitar since 1967 and in all my travels and gigs as a band member I have never seen one like it. Now, I've always wondered about this issue but never before pursued it. The biggest difference is in the black surround for the three pickups, mine doesn't have it, and I have never seen another like it. Did I get screwed with buying a second when I originally purchased it? Does anyone know anything about this? I made some awful mistakes to mine by devaluing it with squiggles made with an electric Black and Decker engraver pen. Remember those, it was stupid and ruined any real value.

curtisa Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 Thread moved to appropriate subforum. Quote
Prostheta Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 I'm not sure myself, but given how fluid the SG design was back then anything could creep through you know? I am pretty unfamiliar with the three-pup versions. That alone might explain weirdnesses or inconsistencies. The three pickups, not my unfamiliarity. Quote
stringkilla Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Posted January 31, 2016 O.K. So where has it been put? What is it's new sub forum location? Quote
curtisa Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 It's been moved to the 'Solid Body and Bass Chat' area. The original location it was posted in (Tutorial and Reference Section) was likely to result in it being overlooked by most members, hence the thread was moved. If you ever need to know what area of the forum you're currently looking at, there is a hierarchical listing at the top of each page that shows you where you are at any given time. Quote
stringkilla Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Posted February 1, 2016 So, I can then assume, it is authentic and just one of many iterations.? If I replace all the gold hardware what could it be worth, almost 50 yrs old now. Quote
Prostheta Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 I'm really not sure to be honest. It looks the ticket, and even though I've never really liked the three humbucker SGs or LPs, I wouldn't kick it out of bed if it farted, authentic or not. Quote
Tim37 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 . I found this on wikapedia they claim its a 63 Quote
Prostheta Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Wow. She'll be worth more than most people's houses soon! Quote
