Is this an SG standard or an SG special?

It's easier to assume that's the case with all Black Sabbath songs anyway.

makes it a little more difficult discern whatever tone it might be though.

another thing I realized recently about trying to discern guitar tones from recordings. most recordings before around the mid 90s were recorded on tape. I just finished a class on analog tape machines, we were recording this band playing shine on you crazy diamond to a Sony APR 24, 2" 24 track. the tape machine bumps all the low frequencies around 100Hz. in monitoring the guitar during recording and then played back from the tape, there's a big difference. the low frequencies get bumped up but this also can cause a little tape saturation creating a little more grittyness in that range of frequencies.

just another thing that can make it pretty hard to match the tone you hear on the recording in real life.
