ive always loved his sg's

 

this ones a 61 reissue with maestro tailpiece with the vibrola/whammy removed (which i like alot), just like the ones available, (ive got one too)

this looks like an orig. 61 or 62 maybe?

this also looks like a vintage 60's model, different than his 61 reiss..

Like he said, the one with the stoptail but Maestro plate was originally a 1999-2001 era SG '61 w/Vibrola (which if Gibson has ANY sense they'll re-reissue again), although a LOT of media (including Gibson) has incorrectly called it a "Custom Shop" or "Historic" model.

 

He's also been seen with that sideways-vibrola-equipped '61/'62 (which is a damned spiffy example, aside from the wretched sideways vibrola) and I'm not sure what that 3rd picture is. If it were larger and/or higher-res I could tell you if it was the above-mentioned '61 RI before the operation or an original. Those '99-01 reissues looked that shade under bright lights, and since the horns are a little blurry (and since I can't see the headstock clearly) it's hard to say. If it's got the bolt-bushing tuners and wider headstock most likely it's that guitar pre-neutering. But it's always possible for the guy to have an alternate vintage one too.
