Look at those humbucker US gold metal plates https://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/mounting-rings/gold-plated-metal-flat-humbucker-pickup-mounting-ring/

This is not the stock Gibson nut, It looks like the TUSQ adjustable nut but different ... lol ...

The 2001 SG Standard is not expensive .

I bought a Lifton '59 reissue, vry good quality and nice. It' s on the Faber website

I prefer the previous USA Casino, beauty Awesome headstock

The inlays on your Les Paul are real mother of pearl, not plastic. Inlays look how they must look, don' t worry.

Try to clean with Gibson pump polish or something neutral

My favorite are ELIXIR Nanoweb 10/46

Okay, I think it' s a C profile (medium)

How is the neck profile on a 2012 SG Standard ?

Hi, I wanted an easy guitar playing unpluged too so I bought a vintage sunburst Casino. The guitar is great, nice finish, the feeling is not the same than playing anES-330 Gibson but for the price it' s OK. The only part I upgraded is the pickguard. the case is a cheap tweed from Spider uk. I order the long version tailpiece , same on the US Model for more precision in the sound.

Remove the 490T and install a 498T, you will have an incredible set, the 490T is not a good humbucker but this one sound better on a Les Paul. I have an SG Special loaded with Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1, fantastic set.

Thanks, this 2015 SG Std is incredible, I love the slim taper neck, the trans ebony finish, real MOP inlays ... I bought it new $850 and with cool upgrades the SG is very close to a 61 Ri , great Gibson SG
