The Gibson SG Special is one of the most recognisable electric
guitars in the world. Renowned for it's sleek double cut design,
exceptional playability and fat, snarling P-90 tones, the SG
Special returns to the classic design that made it rock royalty in
the 1960s!
Construction
The SG Special features Gibson's signature tried and trusted
tonewood combinations. The Mahogany body delivers focused lows and
a rich mid-range attack while the set Mahogany neck gives the SG
fantastic sustain and warmth despite it's thin design. Adorned with
a silky smooth Rosewood fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up
and down the Slim Taper profile neck with unrivalled access to the
upper frets.
Electronics
The SG Special is loaded with a pair of P-90 pickups, renowned
for their fat snarl when driven and their smooth sweetness when
played clean. With individual volume and tone controls for each
pickup and a 3-way toggle switch, the SG Special is capable of
delivering an array of articulate tones making it incredibly
versatile.
Hardware
The SG Special is equipped with a super comfortable
compensated wraparound bridge with chrome plating to extend its
lifetime before patina sets in. The Graph Tech nut ensures
excellent sound transfer and a set of vintage deluxe tuners with
white buttons provide reliable tuning stability. This guitar is
designed to be played hard and it will not let you down!
