: : : : SG standard (mid priced) has: : : closed pickups, : : Neck binding : : Block markers : : pearloid inlayed 'gibson' logo on headstock : : The SG special (cheapest) has : : open pickups, : : no binding : : dot markers : : gold 'gibson' transfer logo on headstock : : the custom (most expensive) has lots of binding around the headstock, : : sometimes you can get 3 pickup versions, fancey colours, bits of gold hardware, cosmeticaly fancier but basicaly the same as the standard. : : the body size, weight and composition are the same. : : the pickups are basicaly the same sound, the covers dont make any difference, i prefer the standard because of the binding on the neck, without the binding i can feel all the fret edges under my hand, : : if you want to know more about the other models, such as faded (rubbish) and gothics then try the gibson website. : : Lee. : Sg special has ok open coil pick ups. Sg g400 or standard great sound-alcino v pickups. Custom has alcino 3 HBS. gold hardware. : Pickup covers do make a slight difference considering they are wired on. It's not just some cover you screw on.
