An adjustable zero-fret titanium nut allows for extremely low action when desired, making this the speediest SG you’ve ever experienced.
Incredible SG Tone
Two Mini-Humbucker pickups give a clear, focused twist on tradition while still translating the solid mahogany body and characteristic depth and richness perfectly. A titanium nut and titanium bridge saddles enhance ring and sustain for a superbly toneful SG.
Gibson USA pulls no punches in the quality department
G-Force automated tuners, a thicker one-piece fingerboard with hand-rubbed oil finish, genuine mother-of-pearl inlays, upgraded plastics, and an exclusive labor-intensive hand-applied process for tactile satin finish all add up to a superior American-made electric guitar.
