Since I was in the market for an SG, ended up picking up this 2010 Classic with P90's. A pickup I don't typically play but have been curious about as of lately. And to be honest, they play clean really great, especially the neck. But the bridge pup does leave something to be desired. So I ended up purchasing a Dimarzio Tone Zone P90 to replace it. I can't seem to shake the need for a humbucker in the bridge.
Btw, this particular guitar has the blondest rosewood I've ever seen on a guitar. I had to check its specs to see what kind of wood it used because it almost resembled baked maple. But apparently it is rosewood. Either way, after an oiling I'm really digging the reddish/blonde color.
Also despite this being in the questionable 'Henry J' era, this particular one has zero flaws that I can tell. No tooling marks, nibs are filed well and don't catch strings, action is low with no buzz... Someone did swap the tuners for these top locking Grovers which I'm not a fan of so they'll have to go.
