This 50's tribute SG is part of a short run production from gibson, as such it is one of a small amount of this model without the min-e-tune robot tuner system installed. This guitar is in mint condition, nearly unplayed and without damage. Like the greatest SG Standards ever made, the Gibson SG ’50s Tribute starts with a solid mahogany body is crafted in the distinctive, thin asymmetrical dual-cutaway style, with iconic pointed “horns” and beveled edges to enhance playing comfort. A solid mahogany neck is glued into the body and carved to a comfortably rounded ’50s profile that measures .818” at the 1st fret and .963” at the 12th. It is topped with a genuine rosewood fingerboard that carries 24 medium-jumbo frets to maximize this neck’s excellent fret access, and traditional trapezoid inlays. A PLEK-cut nut made from black Corian subtly complements the black top-hat knobs with silver inserts. The traditional back-angled headstock is silkscreened with a gold Gibson and holly logo, and, in a fun touch, stamped with “Prototype” to indicate this as a ’50s-era transition from Les Paul to SG. The guitar's firepower is derived from a pair of P-90 pickups. The P-90s currently made by Gibson USA adhere strictly to the vintage formula, which includes two genuine Alnico V bar magnets per pickup and a coil wound with 42-AWG enamel-coated wire for all the growl, snarl, and articulation that has made the originals legendary. The traditional wiring complement of an independent volume and tone control per pickup, plus a three-way toggle selector switch, allows a broad range of sonic variations. Final touches include Gibson's famous design of the Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece for solid sustain, and genuine Grover kidney button tuners, for precision tuning. Features:
