Just arrived at home!
Very surprised to find so much rock on a little axe like this!
I'm very happy, the guitar sounds very rich and has an impressive expression, good old p90!
Here in Italy, and in continental Europe in general, but I think wherever exept the US, find a good vintage is not so easy, find a vintage guitar that sounds good is harder, today is a happy day!

Pots looks like be of the 26th week of 1966, but the serial is a "six number" and is 008XXX.
I don't know, maybe a 1967.

What do you think?


Look what a beautiful fingerboard..


This is my new friend (sorry for dust, these are the picture I shot immediatly when I bought it):

Cool guitar.......what is the neck profile like? Thickness front to back. I realize it has the 1 9/16" nut width.....

008XXX is definitively '67. Though many would see the pot codes and swear '66..not so.

Nice SG!
