Hi Tom

Dating Gibson SG's is difficult from just the serial number. Yours was made either in 1965, or 1973, 74, or 75.

You need to look at the individual features of the guitar as well in order to narrow the range down.

If it's a 65, it's worth much more than the 73, 74 or 75. Value depends entirely on condition and the exact model.

Can't be more specific without a pic, sorry!

: any one got any tips on gettin a floating tremlo in tune quickly?
: i have a washburn with a floyd rose floating trem on lt.it takes me hours to get the thing in tune,but once its in its great.but as strings brake and have to be changed every so often i ddred having to set it up again coz i know im gona be doin for hours.
: so if any 1 has any good tips on how to set the tuning up any quiker it would be much appereciated

I just got my first guitar with a floyd rose type trem and I was a little shocked also at how long it took to tune it. The first time I did I must have been really involved in looking at the tuning knobs on the head because after it was tuned I noticed the brigde at a 45 degree angle to the guitar body! Anyway, I tried later to pay attention to what happens when you tune it and have come up with a procedure that now takes about 15 minutes and I hope it helps. The main thing to remember is make 'little' adjustments. Don't try to get it in perfect tune right away. Just try to keep everythin as 'even' as possible. I start by loosening the lock-downs at the nut and back the fine tuners almost all the way out at the bridge. Then I loosen the strings all the way so there is no tension. I have to keep going back over strings I already loosened because they get tight again as you loosen additional strings. Next I'll start to tighten the strings as evenly as possible by the tuning pegs on the head. I'm not really worried about tuning yet as much as trying to get the strings to where they just start to get tight. Just to balance the bridge I'll start with lower E, then high E, then B, then A. Now the tuning begins. I hope you have an electronic tuner because I can't imagine doing this without one. I saw a freeware one on tucows.com from http://www.bincsoft.com/. I don't know how good it is. There are a few others there also.
At this point, in my opinion, there's really no sense in tring to get the strings in perfect tune yet because as soon as you tighten another string the bridge lifts up and the rest of the strings go flat. I just try to get within a fret or two or even more (in the same direction of course, like flat) at the beginning. I think the main goal here is to try to get them 'evenly tense'. I'll go the the next string, get within a few frets or so and go back to the first and retune it because it probably went flat. From this point on I'm going to the next string in no particular order and basically trying to keep them even. You especially want to check all strings 'often' to see if you have one 'way off' especially sharp because if you loosen the sharp one all the rest go in the right direction (sharp) which is really helpful. After I tune a string I go back and retune all the ones I have already done. Once I get them all close it starts to get fun because things actually work. I'LL make A MINOR adjustment in the right direction without trying to get the string in exact tune because that will throw out the rest even more. I just keep doing this over and over and sooner or later it's in tune! Oh yeah, when you're tuning look at the bridge every so often to make sure it's not getting way out of level with the guitar body. From what I've read as long as your guitar is set up correctly and you haven't changed string guage or anything major like that since it worked before, you should come out with a level bridge.

pls if you have the chords and lyrics of the song because of you. pls ineed it ASAP!

Hey. I've been looking for that exact guitar. Same color everything. I've always wanted one since I was a kid and saw the guy from Big Country playin gthat exact same guitar. Where are you at? How much do you want for it? Does it have a case? Email me your info. Thanks!

: i have a original 1973 fender telecaster, everything stock...any idea on the estimated worth?
I just tested the water on e-bay on a 74 strat. It went to 2600 in 3 days. I think it might have gone over 4k if I had left it on.

If that is the case, then it is from early 1965. See the following link:
