+1 on the Grovers.
What's up with the plug under the ABR-1 post?

Good eye! It looks like there is a plug under both posts.
Hmm...is this a Special converted to Standard?
Any marks on headstock from strip tuners?
Name your guitar "Trench Foot"...like in WWI, Western France, the entrenched Scottish "highlanders" are pounding the enemy.
If that was my guitar, I would consider replacing, as you have alluded to, the heavily "worn" fingerboard with an equivalent Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, in order to restore/enhance the guitar's playability. :fc
I’d pretty quick ditch the Asian Grovers and get some nice milk bottle USA Grovers from the 70’s. They’re cheap and easy to find.
What is the width of the headstock, at the widest point, of this SG? I am trying to compile a list to get some kind of norm, as the SG Standard widths tend to vary. Thanks!
Congrats, that guitar looks amazing.
I actually had an eye on it myself when it was first advertised
80 mm
I'm just about to put an aged re-issue Sideways Vibrola on my refin 61.
Totally useless but they look very cool and would fit the 3 holes in the top of yours.
I just checked Crazyparts website and they have the reissue sideways vibrola in nickel plate for 259 Euros. They can probably do some ageing for extra cost if you ask. Would look very cool on your guitar but need serious ageing to look right. There are all original ones on the parts market - there may still be one on eBay asking nearly a thousand dollars, but that's very expensive unless you're restoring a museum piece and they don't work well or help tuning issues as most people know.
The Indiana shaped hole under the gaurd must of been where he kept his weed!:laugh2:
