Definitely not.


Modern [80s or newer, I think], not Gibson, and not made [specifically] as an SG case. :salude

Try Crazyparts..high quality repro stuff from Germany..pretty much the only folks that make them..
Lets see a pic of the "67"..:salude

I have a bet with myself on all late 60's SGs whenever I see one posted..:teeth

Its goin to be a fun project. I may leave the stop studs in it so I can do either stop or vibrola. Have not decided yet. One t top pickup is not working, but I rewindpickups so it's no trouble. It has some newer covers on them now as well as other newer parts. But it plays well.

By the pic, I won my bet that I had with myself..:biggrin:
HIGH "I" dot in the Gibson inlay..a trait I've been noticing in TRUE '67's..(SOOOO many '69-'71 SGs are being claimed as '67-'68's..I wish folks would realize that their '69, '70, '71 is JUST as cool, with slightly different body lines being the main difference, and sonically indistinguishable from a '67 or '68, and call it what it really is..)
Does it also have a 00 prefix SN#?:hmm

I didn't know that about the "I". I thought it was a 67 by the lip at the neck joint seems the 67 are very distinctive. But I'm no expert. Just from what I saw online . Glad to know i was right

Yes. What's the significance of the 00 serial numbers?

Seems many '67 models get a high I dot..not just SGs..I've seen ES 335s with this as well.

00 prefix SN is a for sure 1967 SN# range..and can't be twisted into also being a '69-'71 SN#, meaning that someone can't pass off their mid 1971 SG Standard as a '67..

The 00 prefix was also used in the mid 70s.

Absolutely! 1976 in fact.:salude
My '76 SG Standard has the oval decal with the 00 prefix, for '76.
(not mine, but shows the 00s)

I've only seen 2 '76 SGs listed as '67s..one was a tpyo, (switched the numbers) and one was because the guy used some online dater..pretty huge difference between a '67 and a '76..though my '76 has serious sustain and a killer hard rock tone.
