Description
With its pointed horns, growling pickups, and exceptional playability, the Gibson SG has become a favorite of rock and blues musicians worldwide. The SG Standard sports many of the same features associated with the late '60s model, and it's a great choice for left-handed players who love classic guitars and rich, snarling tones.
Starting with a mahogany body, the SG Standard has that classic Gibson sound with deep lows, pronounced mids, and excellent sustain. Its long tenon neck joint further improves its sustain and stability, and its Tune-O-Matic bridge offers rock-solid intonation. And thanks to its rounded mahogany neck and bound-rosewood fingerboard, the SG Standard plays just like a '60s-era Gibson.
Driving this guitar is a pair of 490R and 490T Alnico II pickups that provide the perfect blend of body and bite. The neck pickup is warm, articulate, and sweet, while the bridge pickup slings bright, punchy tones that cut like a hot knife through butter. Simply put, these pickups were built for rock 'n' roll.
Complete with a full-face pickguard and Grover Rotomatic tuners, the SG Standard is perfect for left-handed players seeking a top-notch guitar that's great for rock and blues.
