Actually, the SG Classic, while not quite as polished as the Standard and up, has a bound fingerboard, including the little nibs over the fret ends. The current SG Special (incl. a Faded model) has a plain fingerboard, but those come with regular humbuckers now.
I find playing a Standard LP or SG a painful experience even with the binding...it's really nice to have a Custom Shop guitar just for the comfort.

The SG with P90s is called the Classic now.
