Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case

The Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar retains much of its original specs , including the same legendary body style and construction of the guitar that was originally slated to be the second edition of the Les Paul model 50 years ago. While that plan became (thankfully) temporary, the SG went on to become one of the most recognizable, iconic guitars in popular music history, and appeared on numerous history altering recordings. The Gibson SG Standard carries that 50 year tradition straight into the future.

The unmistakably classic double-cutaway body is carved from mahogany and retains its lightweight, thin, beveled edge design. A set-in mahogany neck features a full, rounded 50’s style profile that will provide incomparable player comfort. The baked maple fingerboard is topped off with 22 frets and classic Gibson trapezoid-shaped inlays.

The electronics schematic remains true to the classic SG/Les Paul formula, with a pair Gibson USA Humbuckers, along with a 3-way switch. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls. The Tune-O-Matic Bridge/stopbar tailpiece combo provides maximum tuning stability. Finally, a protective, Gibson hardshell case is included.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case:

The SG Standard I purchased is wonderful (looks, sustain) except for one major flaw I discovered after I brought it home: The frets are tapered too much on their ends resulting in the inability to bend the high E string without pulling it off the fretboard. I guess that's what the warranty is for. Also, the pickups in this particular guitar seem wimpy. Otherwise, the guitar would be one of the nicest I have.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case:

I absolutely love this guitar, the sound is truly outstanding and the pickups are some of the best ive ever seen. This guitar may seem a little expensive but it is definitaley worth the extra money to get this one. I use this product for playing shows, rehearsing, jazz, metal, blues, classic and modern rock, and anything else that comes up for me to play. once I got this guitar my love for the instrument has increased and i am always satisfied with this instrument. if you want an all around great instrument this is the one to buy. the only problem I have with this guitar is the being able to keep in tune. so if you do get this guitar I prefer just to use very strong and sturdy strings.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case:

I've owned this guitar for four years and used it for gigs and recording. It's a great, reliable instrument with good sound and solid construction.

The issues I have with it are that for the price, you could get a much better instrument. The stock Gibson pickups are muddy and weak, and replacing them could cost you $200. After owning Fenders and Japanese shred-god brands I can't shake my dislike for the thick neck.

My recommendation is to either save yourself some money and get a Fender spalted Tele, or risk being made fun of by your friends and get a superior instrument in an ESP Standard. It's a great stick, don't get me wrong, but the Gibson logo isn't worth the cash it tags onto the value of this guitar.

In my eyes it is the BEST

By Modesto Perez

from Undisclosed

Comments about Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case:

"I bought one back in March 2003, i still own it, i have changed the strings once, and have had nothing to complain about. Gibsons are expensive for a reason, they ARE the best. I get no feedback from either pickup and i can make the neck sound like ""America Woman"" or the bridge sound like ""Walk"" this guitar is so versitle and trustworthy, once you go Gibson, you'll wonder how you managed before. Easy Access to ever sigle note on the neck and unbelieveable playability!"
