for those who are curious, i checked the serial number and this guitar is from 95. Great video!

Thanks, I was thinking it was older than that. I know Gibson did some funky stuff with their serial numbers in the 1960s and 70s making some of their guitars difficult to date.

For some reason and speaking strictly as a guitar-maker and repairman for years I have seen countless butcherized SG's on my workbench with many of these being in worse shape than this one... For some reason Les Pauls, 335's, Flying V's, Explorers, Firebirds, etc... are rarely messed with but it's okay to mess up with SG's... Maybe it's because they're more affordable and less luxurious than Les Pauls so it's no big deal 😄😄 Anyway, I'm glad to see that nice SG restored and back in all of its glory... I was especially impressed with your work with the serial number... Great work as always 👍👍

I would have cleaned it up so it was playable and stayed in tune and left it as is. The original beat up look was really unique. I’m not into relic guitars but sg imo are the only guitars that look good like that. Maybe a tele or Strat as well. I would love to find a beat sg like that. I have a 61 and a special that are all glossy and shiny and new. Would love to add a beater to the collection. Where would one find one like that? eBay?
