It's the 2014 in Ebony "vintage gloss." I wanted a better paint job so I had it professionally covered in gloss black. Then I got these vol/tone knobs and pickguard from a custom. I love this one more than my Standard Traditional Pro and will play it for the rest of my life. I absolutely LOVE the 490's, maybe even better than the 57 Classics I have in my SG. With the coil splitting, I am very impressed and can get some "stratty" tones, whenever I need to (probably seldom).
I have separation anxieties when I'm away from it.... :)
