boogiemantwo, no, it's a '64....everything dated points to '64...serial number, pot codes, hand written pickup dates, neck stamp etc....plus George Gruhn has verified it. If you have any other debate please send in the form of a pm and not in this thread.

flatheadpete, hang on to that very special guitar! I have a couple never sell guitars from my dad too!

sonictroubadour, thanks for the compliment.

1966 Gibson SG Special (Professional headstock repair) - $1400 (Lakewood)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a 1966 Gibson SG Special with a professional headstock repair. Plays and sounds "out of this wold". Everything is original except for: vintage '70's Gibson P-90's, brass nut, 70's Grover tuners, and some of the screws. This is a great deal for its condition. I am selling this because tough times have struck my friend very hard and he needs financial help. I will accept $1400 cash and take consideration on partial trades for a Fender Stratocaster. This guitar was professionally repaired and it looks great. Take advantage of this sweet deal!

I forsee the near future............ :soapbox:

Use your imagination Tilt your head a little... Sorry

 

Tilt my head??...ok, I guess that is one way to address the issue...with a silly quip:rolleyes:...unfortunately, every prospective buyer will still be tilting his head and using his imagination to try and decipher the exact extent of the repair...which may be major part of the reason you haven't sold the guitar yet. I understand it is something that detracts from the guitar but posting great, clear pics of the rest of the guitar then posting distant, dark or blurry sideways pics of the repaired area can more often times than not be a road block. Since those were taken with your cell phone camera, I suggest finding someone with a regular digital camera and snap a couple detailed pics to show.

 

Bottom line is, the repair is there, you can't change that so you might as well let people know just how well it was done and that it's not an issue to the playability and structural integrity of the guitar. New clear pics could be a positive thing and help get the guitar sold during these tough economic times. Goodluck with the sale!

I've never understood pics posted sideways...

wow...that's quite the paint job....just how much area of the neck was repaired?

yes...it is listed there...thanks for the heads up though.

nailed a 38 pound Chinook bump...
