Ebony or Rosewood necks on SG Reissues?

I'm a sucker for "Buy It Now" on a certain online auction site, and last week acquired TWO very nice SG Reissue basses, both in the beautiful "Classic White" finish with chrome hardware.

 

The 2006 model definitely has an ebony fretboard. The wood is black and as slick as slate, and just as solid-looking.

 

The 2005 model, however, may have a rosewood fretboard, but if so, it's the darkest rosewood I've ever seen. At the same time, it has a bit of a grain pattern visible, and seems to be just a bit (not much) browner than the other one.

 

My question is: Does anybody know if Gibson issued any of these Classic White SG Reissue basses with rosewood fretboards?

 

Just curious.

 

Thanks, Michael
