I also had one of these absolute abominations -
- which I bought for £50 sans pickguard, strings and bridge, and with a ragged DiMarzio-shaped hole where the bridge pickup used to be. I filled all the routs with wood, veneered over the top, re-routed it as an SG Standard with all the normal hardware and painted it cherry red.
It was still shit.

To me, ebony is the perfect fretboard wood & would always be considered a desirable upgrade.
YMMV
I refretted it and made it into a really nice playing guitar. The embossed pickups were long gone and replaced with burstbuckers 1&2.
Rosewood by the way!
