What year is my SG?

[59 Strat]

I know the serial numbers overlapped between '66 and '69. I was just curious if any of you guys could help me narrow down the year of my SG by any minor feature changes that might have taken place during those years (size of pickguard, etc.)... This isn't a great pic, but it is the only one I have...

69.

All the 66's I have seen had small guards.

I'd say small guards for '66 also-If the logo looks a little funny (pentagraphed, I think they call it) it would be a '69. Most likely it's a 67-68. Looks just like a'68 I had-

If I remember correctly the big guard arrived in late 66. You could check the pots for dates, but I've seen 69 Gibsons with 67 pots so it's hard to say. Does it have the really small neck? Most 67s have the small necks.
