Hey everyone,

The serial# is 032161376... so I'm thinking it was made at the:
Nashville Plant, TN, USA
November 17th, 2006
Production Number: 76

It is an SG Standard: black, trapezoid inlays, full-size pickguard.

I'd like to know:
1. if it is finished with nitro lacquer?
2. What pickups it has from factory... they are not marked except for "Gibson"?
3. Anything else trivial I'd want to know or you have to share?

I want to replace the pups... maybe Gibson BB#1's, Seth Lovers, even to the extreme of a Throbak or Tom Holmes set if I feel they sound "right"? I'm a "I'll decide when I hear them... and there's really no other way to know but put 'em in and try 'em out" kind of guy... FWIW. So would likely try to purchase a whole mess of pups and see what I like best with the help of some local fingers/ears!!

thanks, Jason G in Amarillo, TX
