Google says around '69.

I believe 5 piece necks are the cats meow but some people say one and done.

Early/Mid 1969

Dating

The first step in dating your Gibson SG is buying it a nice bouquet of flowers... Seriously though, the best way to date a vintage SG is often not the serial number, but rather by the potentiometer codes and other features it has. Only in 1977 did Gibson switch to a reliable serial number system...

I have an SG with a 3 piece quarter-sawn maple neck. Feels super solid to me.
