Hello everyone,
I recently bought my absolute dream guitar. A Gibson SG Standard from 1964. The guitar is completely original except for the neck pickup. Of course it has a repaired heel crack like almost all of them. But that's exactly what made the guitar financially accessible to me. Recently I was searching the internet for the delivery lists of Gibson to possibly find a screenshot with my serial number. I almost found it here in the Les Paul forum. I found the following screenshot here (see in the attachment). My serial number is "227657". So mine would definitely be on this page. Does anyone here have a picture of the complete page? I would be interested in the delivery and build date of my guitar.
Maybe someone here can help me. Many thanks in advance!

Edit:
Further research has now revealed that the guitar is only a few serial numbers away from the George Harisson SG (227666). Does anyone know if the ledger scans can still be requested directly from Gibson?

Can you describe the feel of the neck?
At the first fret I would say the profile goes in the direction of eraly 60s and towards the heel the neck becomes rather chunky.
First fret: ~22mm / 0,87 inch
12. fret: ~27mm / 1,06 inch

Gibson is digitizing the ledgers they have, and aren't doing manual searches and printing ledger pages any more. Very time consuming for staff, and you can imagine the number of requests they receive.
