What makes this guitar special: Made for only a few years in the late 90’s, the SG-I (later renamed the SG-X, without any spec changes) is a rare and sought after piece. Featuring a 500t humbucker and coil tap switch, it offers terrific versatility and tonal offerings typically not found in an SG. This configuration in tandem with the 24 fret semi-chunky neck makes it a perfect go-to guitar for just about any genre. It’s light weight makes it perfect for long nights of playing, too-so all in all, there’s very little this piece is lacking. It comes professionally setup by our in-house luthier, and will arrive ready to play right out of the box.Cosmetic condition: Excellent shape, with a few surface and playwear scratches, and some pickwear on the guard.Body: Solid mahogany body in dark wineburst finish with 3-ply black pickguard, tune-o-matic bridge, and chrome wraparound stopbar tailpiece.Weight: 7 lb, 6.8 ozNeck: Semi chunky mahogany neck with white side dots and pearl dot inlays. Nicely variegated rosewood fingerboard is in great shape, and frets show almost no visible wear.

Neck is straight and notes ring clear up and down the length of the fingerboard.Electronics: Single 500t humbucker (14.53K ohms) with mini-toggle coil tap and black tophat knobs, 1x tone, 1x volume.Case: Original Gigbag included.
