Nothing marked on the bottom of the p`ups that would give you a year?

Hi !
no idea if there's anything stamped on the back of the pickup. I thought the serial number was enough..

The SG`s I have owned had the year of the emperor`s reign stamped on the bottom of the p`ups....is there a reliable way to date Yamahas by the serial? So far, I haven`t found one that works for all Yamaha guitars, and I own a LOT of old Yamaha acoustic nylon strings and have been looking for a system for a long time, no luck to this point. Oldest Yamaha I own has a 3 digit serial.

Hiya,
That's exactly like mine, including the case - I've never seen another like it and my SG2000S has a different Yamaha marked case.
I got mine in Autumn '84 after a six month wait for one from Japan. My local dealer could not find any SG1000S anywhere in the UK at the time I ordered it (April '84). I'd ordered a black one and eventually, he said that Kemble (the distributor) had brought in three SG1000S and I could have one, but they were all cherry sunburst.
My money's on that being one of the other two from that shipment, as all the other 1000s I've seen had the semi-covered pickups, different machines and thicker bodies.

Cheers
