Gibson SG Standard Left Handed Electric Guitar with Case
The Gibson SG Standard Left-handed Electric guitar is the modern version of this legendary instrument. Calling all Leftys! Get ready to cut through the mix with this timeless Gibson SG. When introduced in the '60s, the SG, Gibson's new solidbody guitar, broke through traditional concepts of solidbody electrics and became an instant classic. The SG body style has remained in production since its first appearance in 1961. Like the Les Paul , the SG Standard shattered all perceptions of what a guitar could be when it was introduced in 1961. Today, it stands as one of the most popular and best-selling of all Gibson guitars. Its distinct cutaways, pointed horns and beveled edges have made it one of the most inspired and iconic designs in the history of guitar-making. Not only is the SG one of the most eye-catching guitar designs, it is also one of the most functional and effective. The streamlined body is a solid, lightweight piece of mahogany, with exceptional resonance to ensure superior tone and greater sustain. It's traditional 22-fret mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and rounded profile has long been championed as the fastest guitar neck in the world, and with twin cutaways it offers easier access to the higher frets. This incarnation of the SG features a mahogany body & neck, a rosewood fingerboard with big trapezoid inlays, Gibson Alnico humbuckers and chrome hardware. A Gibson hardshell case is included. 490R Humbucker This Modern Classic pickup features a tonal characteristic similar to the "57 Classic, but delivers a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives this beauty a singing quality that delivers on demand. 498T Hot Alnico Humbucker Put a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T Hot Alnico . With its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, the 498T is the perfect rock pickup.

Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar Classic White 889406797499
The Gibson SG Standard electric guitar has a slim, lightweight mahogany body with the unmistakable twin cutaways, pointed horns, and beveled edges; the fastest neck in the business;and a pair of Gibson's screamin' BurstBucker pickups with coil-splitting for single-coil tones. This beauty also features trapezoid inlays along its elegantly bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard while a fine mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and holly inlay decorate the guitar's headstock.
Solid Mahogany Body
Probably the most central of all Gibson SG features is its solid mahogany body. The mahogany goes through the same rigorous selection process as all of Gibson's woods, and is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. Inside the Gibson factories, humidity is maintained at 45 percent, and the temperature at 70 degrees. This ensures all woods are dried to a level of equilibrium, where the moisture content does not change during the manufacturing process. This guarantees tight-fitting joints and no expansion, and controls the shrinkage and warping of the woods, in addition to reducing the weight. It also improves the woods' machinability and finishing properties. Consistent moisture content means that the Gibson SG will respond evenly to temperature and humidity changes long after it leaves the factory.
Set-Neck Construction
Like all classic Gibson guitars, the necks on SGs are distinguished by one of the more traditional features that have always set them apart — a glued neck joint. Gluing the neck to the body of the guitar ensures a "wood-to-wood" contact, no air space in the neck cavity, and maximum contact between the neck and body, allowing the neck and body to function as a single unit. The result? Better tone, better sustain, and no loose or misaligned necks. The '61 thin flat "speed neck" profile gives you effortless playing speed and comfort.
BurstBucker Pickups
The BurstBuckerline of pickups represents Gibson's drive to recapture the magic of the original "Patent Applied For" humbuckers. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson BurstBucker — Types 1, 2, and 3 — successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically "unmatched" bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. They produce an airy, full tone, and when overdriven they achieve a magical distortion with the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous. This SG model is loaded with a BurstBuckerType 1 pickup, which features a lower output, and is excellent for the neck position, and a BurstBuckerType 3 pickup that is overwound and hot, and is typically ideal for the bridge position. None of the BurstBuckers are wax potted, and all feature vintage braided two-conductor wiring. Push/pull tone pots activate pickup coil-splitting making this one of the most sonically ve
