Gibson Original Collection SG Standard Red Burst Electric Gu

Description

General
The up-to-date tweaks of the Gibson Modern Collection SG help set a new standard while losing none of that classic, brutal style. So, this double-cut model still bears the iconic set of horns while the mahogany body has been rounded-off a little more, softening it up for enhanced playing comfort. The long tenon, set-in mahogany neck is finished with the familiar feel of a 12″ rosewood fretboard and completes a fully assured acoustic tonal foundation, while a pair of Alnico II-based humbuckers offer way more than just a vintage vibe. As a sweet bonus, this model also comes wrapped up in a premium gig bag.

The SG Standard: Wide-Ranging, Sweet Medium-Gain Sound

The double-coiled 490T at the bridge serves the meaty tone demanded for tight riffs and fat chords while the 490R at the neck adds that rich touch of cream and refined definition. The wide range of sweet, medium-gain tone that results is smoothly navigated using the 3-way selector switch and set of volume and tone pots per pickup. Meanwhile, the tuning of this fresh-faced SG is stabilised by a lightweight aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, a Graph Tech nut, and a set of high-grade Grover Rotomatics machine heads.
