Geff Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I am led to believe that my new classic with P90s is, in effect, a reproduction of an older model special. The current specials have no neck binding and humbuckers. During which years (if any) were specials produced with neck binding and P90s? I am just curious. It is a beautiful guitar and I dont really care if it is or is not true that it is a copy of a special, Id just like to be educated about what I have got. (its a cherry one by the way).

Geff Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 In the absence of a reason to doubt him, I think Neo has answered the question to my satisfaction! I can now have a dig around for some pics from that era and check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have an issue with the SG Classic name... it really should be called the SG Special. Let the stripped-down SG be called the SG Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickey Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The SG Special with P90s was made from 1968-1972 and I'm pretty sure they all came with neck binding. If i'm mistaken I'm sure someone will correct me. I believe it was 68-71. In 72 they came out with that disgusting thing with the Les Paul pickguard,and the control cavity plate mounted on the front. BTW I'm picking up an original '68 this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
