The Original Double-Cutaway Rocker, Loaded for Tone and Ready for Action! Itâ?s more than just a coincidence that mahogany is one of the most prized woods for electric guitar design, and the Gibson USA SG Standard is arguably the most classic example of the use of this fine tonewood in an instrument thatâ?s both nuanced and powerful. Unlike thicker mahogany/maple designs, the SG Standardâ?s thinner solid-mahogany body offers a considerable reduction on weight, while presenting a warm, rich resonance with lots of harmonic depth and sparkle. The guitarâ?s solid mahogany neck is carved to a rounded profile similar to SGs from the mid-â?60s, for superb in-the-hand comfort and outstanding playability, while itâ?s glued in deep-set, long-tenon neck/body joint and 17-degree back angled headstock team up to provide a transference of neck resonance into the body thatâ?s far superior to other neck designs. Of course, a pair of Alnico-loaded humbuckers was always a big part of the SGâ?s magic, and todayâ?s SG Standard brings it on in spades. With Gibsonâ?s popular 490R in the neck position and the slightly hotter 498T in the bridge, the SG Standard gives you everything from bluesy vocal warmth to snarling, wailing aggression, all at the flip of a three-way toggle switch. A stopbar tailpiece provides a rock-solid anchor behind Gibsonâ?s legendary Tune-o-matic bridge, prized for its ability to enhance singing sustain while remaining highly adjustable to perfect your instrumentâ?s intonation. Sum it all up, and itâ?s a guitar of unrivaled versatility and stunning looks â?'' and a rock beast to be reckoned with. All this, and your SG Standard comes protected in a formfitting Gibson hardshell case, and is covered by Gibsonâ?s famous Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 customer service. It could just be the bargain of the decadeâ?¦ or the past four. Check one out now at your authorized Gibson dealer. Body and Finish A solid mahogany body with beveled edges for added comfort and that distinctive and dangerous â??dual-hornedâ?� double-cutaway design are hallmarks of the legendary SG Standard. The guitarâ?s select mahogany components ring with all the depth and richness youâ?d expect from a classic tonewood, and look great in your choice of nitrocellulose finish in Heritage Cherry or Ebony Black. Click Here To Learn More Neck, Headstock and Fingerboard TThe SG Standard is crafted in classic Gibson style with a glued-in long-tenon neck made from solid quarter-sawn mahogany and topped with a rosewood fingerboard. It has an angled headstock for superior resonance, and its rounded mid-â?60s profile and 1-11/16â?� wide Corian nut help to make is supremely playable. Click Here To Learn More Pickups and Electronics The SG Standard carries two of Gibsonâ?s most popular humbucking pickups, a 498T in the bridge position and a 490R in the neck. Both are designed as updated renditions of Gibsonâ?s famous PAF humbucker of the late â?50s and early â?60s, modified for improved versatility, and routed through the classic Gibson four-knob and three-way switch control section.
