Product Description The Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar has been one of the greatest guitar designs since the 1960s. Originally considered a Les Paul model, the SG Standard combines dense tonewoods, set neck construction, dual humbuckers, and stop bar tailpiece with a lightweight design that is very comfortable to play.50s Rounded Neck ProfileGibson has given the SG Standard a neck with the thicker, rounder, time-honored profile, of the iconic late 50s Gibson models.

The 490R has an Alnico II bar magnet, while the 498T bridge pickup is wound a little hotter and includes an Alnico V bar magnet for extra punch and more emphasis on the midrange and highs. Solid Mahogany BodyProbably the most central of all SG features is its solid mahogany body. The mahogany goes through the same rigorous selection process as all of Gibsons woods, and is personally inspected and qualified by Gibsons team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. Inside the Gibson factories, humidity is maintained at 45 ... Read more
