Description
What makes this guitar special: If you’re looking for a straight-forward SG with simple appointments and great tone, this is a solid choice. The 490 humbuckers sound great across the board, and provide a warm, full, and chunky response with good definition in the neck, and a crispy, articulate bridge response with great bite. The neck is an easy C shape that many players will be familiar with, the body is nice and clean even for a used guitar, and all in all, it’s just a well-rounded axe with a wallet-friendly price tag.
Condition: This SG is in excellent condition overall. It shows only minor dings and light surface scratches (which are mostly on the pickguard), but is otherwise very clean for a used guitar. The frets show only light wear if any and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Double cutaway contoured mahogany body in Worn Brown finish. 5-ply black pickguard. Chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black top hat control knobs.
Neck: C shape mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Vintage-style deluxe Gibson tuning machines with cream tulip keys. 1 11/16” nut width. 24.75” scale length.
Electronics: 490R uncovered humbucker in the neck and 490T uncovered humbucker in the bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 6 lbs 6.6 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck on this SG should be familiar to a wide variety of players with its easy-playing C shape. The 490s sound great in both positions, with a warm, full, and chunky neck response and crisp bite in the bridge.
Case: Includes original gigbag.
