Gibson's SG Special is a rock icon. Immortalized by Santana at Woodstock and smashed onstage by Townshend, the SG Special is a piece of rock history. New for 2014, this Nashville-made SG is the real deal, giving you a pair of toneful humbuckers, a slim-profile neck, and an extended 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with action that's almost non-existent. The SG's lightweight mahogany body delivers great sustain and no pain, even if you play all night. And the nitro finish looks and feels luscious, while enhancing the tone of this legendary rock machine. Own your piece of rock history - the Gibson SG Special.
Slim-profile maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard
The Gibson SG Special is famous for its comfortable, fast-action neck. Whether you're chording down low or soloing up high, the distinctive slim profile always feels just right. With its iconic double-horned cutaway that gives you free access to all the way up the rosewood fingerboard, this SG Special's a lean, mean rock machine. And speaking of fingerboards, this one sports 24 frets. Whereas SGs have traditionally been 22-fret instruments, the 2014 SG Special gives your fingers a playing field optimized for extended-range shredding.
490R and 490T humbuckers give you access to a universe of tone
You want fat, snarling tone? The Gibson SG Special serves it up, big time. But Gibson's 498T and 490R humbuckers are also seriously versatile. Gibson voiced these pickups for tonal characteristics similar to '57 Classics, but with a slight increase in the upper mids for a more contemporary humbucker sound. Whether you're delivering your musical message with mellow jazz tones, bone-rattling crunch, or a blistering liquid inferno - these pups reward your touch with world-class responsiveness.
Nitrocellulose finish for yummy vintage looks and feel
The Gibson SG Special wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. Add to that this guitar's classy Gibson 120th Anniversary banner inlay at the 12th fret, and your 2014 Gibson SG Special has the look and feel of a future classic. And so it is.
Streamlined mahogany body and SG slim-profile neck feel amazing.
The lightweight SG guitar style has been a hit for decades. The Gibson SGJ's sleekly contoured, lightweight mahogany body fits you like a glove and makes the guitar incredibly comfortable, even for long playing sessions. The SG's iconic dual-horned cutaway gives you unobstructed access to the upper registers, while the slim-profile maple neck provides the easy action you need to pull off fast runs effortlessly. And while we're on the subject of soloing, it's noteworthy that the SGJ is a 24-fret instrument, which makes it ideal for shredding across a broad range of musical styles.
A great deal on a real Gibson SG.
The bottom line about this SGJ is that it's a real Gibson solidbody electric guitar. Ask anyone, and they'll tell you that the Gibson name still stands for something. American-made and built to the standards Gibson has held to - despite rising manufacturing costs - you can feel proud when you pick up your Gibson SGJ electric guitar.
