Gibson Custom SG Custom 2-Pickup, Ebony Fingerboard Gloss, Ebony Overview
Woodstock, Altamont, Monterey, and beyond to blues, hard rock, punk, and alternative rock - is there anywhere that hasn't featured an appearence by Gibson's classic and immortal SG?
Featuring matched 490/498 pickups, 1960 SlimTaper neck with bound ebony fingerboard, Plek'd medium jumbo frets, mother-of pearl block inlays, gold hardware, and vintage nitro finish, this Nashville made Custom Shop model is yet another footnote in this guitars long and illustrious career.
This guitar of course excels with its snarling SG bite, but roll back the volume, and beautifully clean tones will shine through. A few more twists and switching of the controls and you're ready for jazz, blues, funk, reggae, and even country; the Gibson SG Custom does it all with charisma and unstoppable playability.
Another excellent addition to this guitars long line - one which provides the look and feel of a lovingly cared for classi that will only improve with age.
What Gibson say:
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.
This recent Custom Shop addition takes the engine and aesthetics of the iconic Les Paul Custom and applies them to the SG platform. The result is a huge-sounding, fast-playing and classy-looking instrument that will bring out the best in any player. The solid ebony fingerboard projects chords and notes with clarity and sustain, while the 490R and 498T humbuckers compliment a wide range of sonic possibilities, from clean jazz to the heaviest distortion.
