"Kluson Deluxe" still in a single vertical row. On the bottom side of the tuners stamped into the metal it says "D-169400 PATENT NO." The exterior lubrication holes are the small type. These tuners are often called "Single Line, Double Ring". High grade case was black on the outside, and yellow on the inside. The black outside changed from smooth to rough during different periods of the 1960's. Also the handle changed from a leather covered metal to a hard molded plastic type about 1963. The small brass Gibson plaque was still used until the later 1960's. A 1962 Les Paul SG would be a highly desirable specimen to a serious collector or a wealthy player.  In late 1960 or early 1961, Gibson redesigned what had been the Les Paul Standard into the SG design, and continued calling it the Les Paul Standard.  The first versions had the Gibson Deluxe side-pull vibrato tailpiece and “Les Paul” on the headstock.  By mid-1961, these models had “Les Paul” on the truss rod cover The 46671 serial number would be consistent with a model from around 1962 The Standards have a Les Paul engraved truss rod cover from '61 to early '63.
