I am not sure what you mean by "which one did you get" , but the humbuckers are black, non adjustable. The guitar is ivory colored, black pickguard, 4 knobs, with a ebony colored fretboard, though the sides of the board look like mahogany. The guitar cost, on sale, $200, probably because the tone pot was bent slightly. The guy at the store said it was poplar, but he didn't sound completely sure. I'd guess from the overall sound it probably is poplar, since It sounds a bit similar to a Strat made of poplar, which I tried. I also saw Strats that were made of Ash, which sounded different than the poplar Strats.
: Most Gibsons and Epiphones are mohogany necks and bodies. The bodies are sometimes swamp ash, for a lighter feel and somtimes they just use select hard wood. The pickups can vary though. Which one did you get?

: : Does anybody know what kind of pickups the Gibson SG has? For that matter what kind are the Epiphones? I bought an Epiphone SG and the pickups are different than the Gibsons. Or at least the Gibson has covers. Mine are open. My guitar sounds great as is, just thought I might be able to improve the sound with a pickup change.
