Starting Up Again !

[Michael Hageman]

After 50 years I decided to retrain my brain to start playing again. I got my Les Paul Fix satisfied with a 08 Studio,a TV Yellow P90 and a IBG 59 Standard. I What Pickups came on an 08 Studio? I found an IBG SG Standard.Can not find this Color in any pics in the IBG Line-Up. Any one seen one? Secondly I found a Gibson SG but buyer does not know what Model it is.Can anyone chime in as to what it could be ? Here are Pics of the Studio and SG's. Thanks for all info I may learn to make an educated choice on the SG's.tand

Studio will have Alnico Classic Pro Humbuckers most Likely . The Yellow SG looks like a Tradional Pro , same pickups as studio . Gibson SG looks to be a "Future " Tribute . They came with '57 Classics .

Just out of Curiosity what would you fellows think would be Good Prices on the 2021 Epi . Traditional Pro SG' and 2013 Tribute? Right now the Epiphone is $300 and the Gibson is $750. Neither have Cases.

Thanks Again !

Michael, one source I nearly always search is the Reverb.com sold listings for the same or very similar models. Here's a link to that site if you haven't already checked there.

I select the same model or a similar one then see what price range they've sold for most recently. Keep in mind those sold prices don't include shipping or taxes where applicable.

Happy hunting.
