You should have the following as I do not think the baked maple models were available yet

 

Neck pickup-490R neck pick up

Bridge pickup-498T bridge pick up

12" Finger board radius

SG profile neck

Rosewood fretboard

Set Neck

Mahogany Body

Trapizoid Acrylic Inlays

Gibson Deluxe Tuners

Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Stop Tail Piece

 

Maybe some of the others will chime in and add to the spec if I forgot some.

 

I think you made a wise choice by trading in your Fender Strat [thumbup] I may get some bad feedback from some others on here who really like Fender guitars but oh well this is a Gibson Forum!!! I hope you enjoy your new SG!!! I really enjoy my 2006 SG standard. Can you post some pics of your new SG? I am sure there are several on here who would like to see it too, Tim

Thanks! I feel that the Les Paul have, of course, more sustain! But it also have a creamier tone overall . The neck is very similar and thats the reason I went for a SG. I do like my new SG a lot though! More bite and snappier tone is ''au rendez-vous!'' ahaha! I like them both! Les Paul for refined tone and SG for in your face tone.. thats the way I work it out! What do you think? Now Im craving for a ES 335.. My trio is going to be complete... well for now! ;) Geez thats a curse..! Be richer would be a great thing! haha! :)

 

PS: God I made the right choice by trading my old collecting dust stratocaster!

Agreed! My LP Classic Custom has the 57 Classic pickups, which give the sound a nice purr. If I want some snarl ("in your face tone" as you put it) or edge to the sound I just plug in my SG Standard with the 490R/498T pickups.

Yea I really like the stock pick ups in my SG. I have my amp set to when I am picking softly the pick ups sound nice and mellow but when I pick more agressively, that SG really comes alive!!!! I thought I would miss the sustain compared to the les paul I had but the more I play my SG the better I like it everytime. It is by far my most favorite guitar I have ever had. Here is mine, it is a 2006 natural burst. Well looks like I forgot to wipe the finger prints off!!!! Tim
