sellen Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Love it[biggrin] Hear many complain about the 498 t, i like this pickup. What i also liked about this guitar was the fingerboard was quit dark, almost as ebony. Have seen other ebony sg's with brighter fingerboard. From now on this is my band guitar, kinda like the neck on this better than my 61 reissue sg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rame Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 How much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black. Congrats on a great looking guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drizzt Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Congratulations on the new purchase. I like the fat neck too - I dislike the thin necks. But for the 498T I agree with the people complaining - it's not my pick up. I preffer lower output, rounder and clearer sounding pickups - but that's not important. Make it sing with your band. Congrats once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 That is sweet! The fretboard is nice and dark. I love my SG Standard. IMO it's the best SG I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewddawg1 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Conrats on your new guitar! Nice score dude. Rewd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 NICE! Ebony is truly an under appreciated color. It just looks cool, and nothing looks or sounds like an SG. I also do not understand the dislike of the 498T. It is a great pickup, and was the standard pickup on Gibson SG's and Les Pauls for years, and everyone loved them. Anyway, here's mine, along with a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Congrats! Very nice ebony STD and I also like the darkeness of the fretboard. And another plus on the 498T - I've got the 490R/498T combo in my SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks for the congrats guys, i love the sound and feel of this sg. It just screams out"There's gonna be some rockin" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think I'm going to buy the black sg standard when i have the money to do so. I just don't like the bright orange cherry finish. If the cherry could be a lot darker, like angus' walnut like color on his earlier sgs, then i'd get a cherry finish. I just want a dark finish. Love the Sg btw! Every time i went to the gibson showcase in nashville(Which i hear won't be returning D:) I'd play a left handed black sg. I loved the feel of it so much. The knobs were backwards though. Instead of turning them to the right to turn them up(for a left handed guitar that is) you turned them left, like on a right handed guitar.
