Gibson SG Standard-VERSES-Gibson SG Special Faded-Same Pickups

This is my comparison givin they both have the 498T in the bridge and 490R in the neck. Tell me what you guys and gals think. So it’s a 2005 SG Special Faded, Ebony Board, I upgraded the tuners to Grover Rotomatics 18.1, and the bridge pickup to a 498T, and I LOVE IT!! I think it holds it’s own with the Standard, and my band mates liked the sound of the faded better when we played new years eve. Oh I’m playing through a Roland Micro cube RX on the Marshall Stack setting, gain at half.
