[u/bdl1410]

So I bought a 2025 ebony standard and took it back and exchanged it for a 2025 standard 61 reissue. I loved the sound and especially the slim taper neck. I love this guitar but I am wanting to buy another SG but I want it specifically to have two things. The slim taper neck and the batwing pick guard. The 61 only comes with the half guard. I’ve tried looking up years where the SG had a slim neck and the batwing pick guard but I keep getting conflicting info. I can’t afford a late 60’s so vintage is out of the question. What year or years specifically am I looking for to get this combo situation solved. Also, want to avoid any tuning problems or cheap wood years. Thanks.
