have you guys seen the new standard sa gibson site? they've gone back to the small pickguard! and real rosewood fretboards vs the baked maple fretboard on the SG Standard Limited
and it looks like the 61ri neck profile has replaced the beefier rounded profile of the old batwing SG standard. so its like they've taken the 61ri, gave it the old standard's smaller headstock and called it a the new standard. nice.
wish they'd kept the thicker standard neck though. the 60s slim profile neck, which feels nice on an LP, feels flimsy on an SG.
