putz1337 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I am looking at buying the pictured SG. Seller states it a 2012 SG Standard. I'm not familiar with this finish on a standard, was it an option? Was 2012 the year the fret boards could be maple? Thanks in advance for the help.

It happened in 2011, so it sounds about right. I had a baked maple board on one of my guitars. Edited August 6, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putz1337 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thanks. I ended up buying it. The fingerboard is very different than my 61 reissue. Pretty sure it's burnt maple. The finish is natural with nitro. Hard to tell in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked my Std, but the 2nd Special I owned was my favorite of the 4. They are R'N'R Machines. Congrats. Edited August 7, 2020 by Sgt.

SGgypsyboy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The finish is known as Natural Burst and the model is called the SG Standard Limited which featured the torrified maple board. I have the same one and it was signed off in December 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
