Crimson Dragon Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I have a 2012 SG that I purchased second hand after selling my previous SG that was purchased new at the Mark Music. Anyway this 2012 has really hot pick ups which the person I purchased it from had told me. They are way more hot that my previous SG and my LP standard. I’m wondering what they could be other than taking the guitar apart to see. I’m told they came on the guitar. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I also have a 2012 SG Standard I am the ordinal owner This would have a baked maple fret board, (not rosewood) 490r and 498t is the pickup combo. Maple is like ebony, a very hard wood. IMHO there's a bit more top end just with that. Edited January 21, 2020 by kidblast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGgypsyboy Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I have the initial run of these. SG Standard Limited. Mine was made in December of 2011. They all have the 490R/498T pickups. A few pics with closeup of the maple board which is a great feature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Heavy Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 How is the neck profile on a 2012 SG Standard ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had two of the 2012 SG Standard Limited, well the one I have now is the first batch of them made in December of 2011. They both have the rounded profile. Not quite baseball bat rounded like an early to mid 2000's SG Special Gloss, but definitely meatier than the slim tapers. They feel great for both chordal and lead work. These all have the torrified maple board . There was also a 2012 SG Standard (not marked Limited) that had the two layer rosewood board. I can't vouch for what the profile is on those but I haven't seen many . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
