Well then... that's too bad. I thought that on my old '71 Standard which originally had the Maestro, that the neck angle was common on all SG's to allow for the hardware of the Maestro. And to cut costs, Gibson made this the standard angle when it came to all SG's... regardless if they had the Maestro or just a hardtail... and wraptails, too. Maybe that's the Mojo that might contribute to a distinct sound associated with the SG. Yes I know... I'm exercising the Cork-sniffing side of me...

Could be...Guitar Sinner has 6 Gibson SG's, all Standards. Three have good neck angle, and the other three look like London Bridge!!!

On the modern SG's, Gibson specs only show one neck angle, and I am yet to check one with an inclinometer that is within specification. I had a '68 SG and I remember it had a regular bridge installed and the holes were still in it for a Bigsby-ish device. The tailpiece was down all the way on that one...
