Why does your 1991 Gibson SG Standard have dots on the fretboard and not trapezoid inlays?

If it has dots, then it may not be a "Standard" model.

What are the properties of the guitar Gibson Firebird?
A Gibson Firebird is a hard bodied electric guitar manufactured by Gibson from 1963 to present day. It is made from the finest quality mahogany wood, contains a mahogany and walnut neck board, and can have rosewood or ebony mother of pearl inlays in the shape of a trapezoid, block or dots. The bridge is a Tune-O-Matic ABR-1, and comes with 1, 2 or 3 mini-humbuckers, full size humbuckers or P-90s. The Gibson Firebird was originally designed by Ray Dietrich to have mass appeal and thus comes in a multitude of colors; classic white, ebony, pelham blue, heritage cherry, cherry, vintage sunburst, antique brown, natural and wine red. It measures just under 25" long.
What are the dots on the guitar fretboard for?
The dots on a guitars fretboard are reference points.They are always on the 3rd(G),5th(A),7th(B),10th(D) and 12th frets(E).From the 12th fret,you start over. The fret "dots" are simply markers telling you which fret your finger is on.And also different from type to type of guitar. THE FOURTH DOT IS ON THE 9TH(C#) FRET NOT THE 10TH.
What is the difference between a studio electric guitar and a standard electric guitar?
You are likely to be talking about model designations such as Gibson Les Paul Studio vs. Gibson Les Paul Standard. Those are only names, not guitar breeds that are universally recognized. For example, a Gibson Les Paul Studio usually has fewer cosmetic adornments than a Les Paul Standard -- simpler fretboard inlays, possibly lack of body binding, less refined finishes. The current Les Paul Studios usually come with 490R and 498T humbuckers, while Les Paul Standards usually come with Burstbuckers, which are more expensive and (to my ears) sound better. However, these specs are not universal. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Mahogany, for example, has no maple cap, but are fitted with Burstbuckers. The Gibson Firebird Studio is almost an entirely different guitar from the standard Firebird V. The one definitive difference is price. Gibson uses words such as "Special", "Junior", "Classic" and "Studio" to denote less expensive versions of its flagship models like the SG, Les Paul, Flying V and ES-335. Barring vintage guitars, vintage reissues and custom-shop creations, those models will always be less expensive than their Standard counterparts and, in conjunction, usually have less investment potential. But if you're looking for sound and feel, a Studio is not necessarily going to be inferior to a Standard. Les Paul Customs are more expensive than Les Paul Standards, for example, but Slash from Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver has explicitly stated that Standards sound better to him. I personally prefer an SG Classic (a reissue of the '60s SG Special with P-90 pickups) to an SG Standard.

What is a Gibson C4 circa 1960 in mint condition worth?
A Gibson C-4 is a more ornate version of a C-2. The Maple back is a litttle more flamed, the tuners are gold, and the bridge has 2 block inlays in all years. Typical price for a mint one would be $800-$900. I've seen them sell in that range, and seen people ask $1000 but never actually get that high.
