So does Grant's have the 490 pups? This is the first I have seen these type covered ones.
Happy NSGJ Day to me!

Yup BAstard/ I was awake and typing in the dark way too early, PLUS Grant jacked me up when he locked that other thread and I was not finished posting stuff and made errors in info and was not able to edit for correctness, Still typing in the dark and my finger misvle memory sucks for where the letters are, YUP OTHER than the date stamp.,..
As long as you’re alright Chili.
2013 had the plastic covered 490 pickups, with the mounting tabs attached to the covers.
2014 had the zebra 61 pickups.

I hear ya Wav, n I don't even need to listen to the video to understand what you mean by that.
That's a factory straplock location (at the heel of the neck) but can't figure out why it's been re-drilled, unless it was stripped out???

Congrats, on the SGJ score, hope it lives up to your expectations. 2013 was a really good year for these "no bling" type SG's (I have a '60' tribute). I like the "no pickguard" look & they all seem to have really good beveling. Great workhorse type guitars. Hope it arrives soon. Enjoy. Cheers

Speaking of NO Pick guard, Bare bones, SG goodness. Here is my first SG ever. Heck it doesn't even have the 4th control.

As we can see, but not everyone knows, here also is my awesome Faded SG that Grant sure tried hard to coax me to part with it.
Here is hoping Grant loves his Chocolate SGJ as much as I do my Walnut Faded.

Grant, not too many people know this about me, but way back when I was totally clueless owning or playing wise when it came to SG's, I did do a little catalog gazing to see which SG I might possibly like to acquire.
There were obviously Specials and Standards and Jr's, but back then I also saw there were push pull pots, various pups, Angus or Iommi type pups etc. Well, believe it or not, I really just wanted a Brown one. I would figure out the guts I wanted later. Anyhow, my black beauty with Bill Lawrence HB R and HB-L Circuit board pups got me started. Then as I was shopping at my local Music Go Round, I actually bought a Midtown Custom, but saw and tried out a used Walnut Faded. This Faded happened to be the guitar pictured above. I returned the Midtown and picked up the SG. It just called to me like a Siren. SO I completely understand why G wanted a sweet brown Gibby SG.
