About this model
Back in Black… Heritage Cherry, and Dark Walnut!
The Gibson SG Standard rocks the classic looks and features associated with the late-60s-style SG™ models so many players love. A solid mahogany body provides the backbone for singing sustain, while a rounded profile mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard deliver a comfortable playing experience across all 22 frets. A long tenon 19th fret neck joint enhances resonance, making it ideal for everything from vintage blues to modern high-gain solos.
In the electronics department, the 490R (neck) and 490T (bridge) Alnico 2 humbuckers™ produce a versatile range of tones. Their clear, balanced output can easily cover a wide range of genres—softening nicely for warm clean passages and roaring to life when pushing an amp into overdrive. Dedicated volume and tone controls, along with a 3-way toggle switch, offer quick access to any sound you need.
Visually, a black 5-ply full-face pickguard sets this SG Standard apart from other models, and chrome-finished hardware adds a timeless touch. Grover® Rotomatics® tuners keep tuning precise, while the aluminum Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure reliable intonation. Rounded out by black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors, this SG Standard captures the look and spirit of Gibson’s classic late-60s design.
A soft shell case is also included, providing convenient protection whether you’re heading to rehearsal or hitting the road. If you’re in search of an iconic, no-nonsense rock machine with a heritage that spans decades, the Gibson SG Standard stands ready to deliver.
