Members GreatDane Posted March 4, 2007 Members Share Posted March 4, 2007 Your guitar was made at theKalamazoo or Nashville Plant , USAapproximately in: 1974 or 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Salsage Posted March 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2007 Your guitar was made at the Kalamazoo Plant, USA approximately in: 1965,1966, 1968 or 1969 Thanks! Thats a pretty wide range. I am sure a 1965 would be a little more valuable than a 1969. Where can I find out what these guitars are selling for. I am not selling but would like to some ballpark idea of what this guitar may be worth. Much Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RossE Posted March 4, 2007 Members Share Posted March 4, 2007 You should take your guitar to a nice dinner and a movie. Since your guitar seems pretty old, think classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bbreaker Posted March 4, 2007 Members Share Posted March 4, 2007 Check the pot codes on your SG for possible closer date. Check www.gbase.com with SG's in your year range to estimate a value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that site my SG was manufactured in 1974-75. A few years newer than I thought. I am having problems posting pics. I always just added them as attachments and now it wont let me... frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalheadUK Posted March 4, 2007 Members Share Posted March 4, 2007 On the everything SG site, the 1973 catalogue shows an SG standard with block inlays, no binding, and wide travel bridge, and I cant see that spec in any other year. I think it's around that time..mid 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
