DISC Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar, Ebony Overview
At the forefront of guitar history for over 50 years, the Gibson SG Standard in Ebony will be no stranger to players across the world. However this new 2013 spec version of the iconic axe is without question one of the best incarnations of the SG Standard. A pair of 57 Classic humbuckers and a '60s slim neck profile make the 2013 SG Standard comparable to the now discontinued SG '61 Reissue, at a much cheaper price point.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic, Timeless Design
The body of each SG Standard starts with a foundation of solid mahogany tonewood shaped into a thin asymmetrical style, recognisable as an icon due to its doublecut 'horns' and beveled edges which provide playing comfort.
The warm, rich and responsive tone from Rosewood makes it the perfect fingerboard material. Offering clear and tight bass projection without overshadowing sparkling midrange or trebles, the 22 medium-jumbo frets are adorned with trapezoidal inlays, echoing the look of the original SG Standard.
The hand-buffed, high-gloss Heritage Cherry finish with sheen lacquer gives the SG Standard an appearance in keeping with its history. The nitrocellulose lacquer produces a finish that breathes with the guitar and enhances natural resonance, encourages a purer tone. The new 2013 SG Standard also features an original '60s half size SG pickguard, paying homage to the original incarnation of this timeless guitar.
Classic Tone - Unbeaten Decade After Decade
Ask player after player what the most famous set of Gibson humbuckers are, and you'll often get the reply of '57 Classics. Previously only available on the much more expensive '61 Reissue, these iconic tone machines are now fitted as standard to the 2013 SG Standard. The '57 Classics are made using genuine Alnico II magnets and can deliver a wide range of sounds from creamy clean tones through to agressive, edgy crunch and over drive. If you've ever dreamed of sounding like the most famous Gibson SG players, then you'll be closer than ever with the 2013 SG Standard.
Individual volume controls and tone controls are used for each pickup, which use high-quality linear potentiometers. A three-way toggle switch pickup selector also features along with a 1/4" super heavy duty construction output jack which holds your guitar cable securely in place.
The finishing touches on the SG Standard include vintage-style tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge allowing you to adjust the string height and fine-tune intonation in minutes, aluminium strap buttons and an antique bell-shaped truss rod cover.
