This 2006 Gibson SG Classic exemplifies a continuation of the distinguished SG lineage, drawing inspiration from the iconic models of the 1960s. Characterised by a lightweight mahogany body with a classic double-cutaway design, this model seamlessly blends vintage aesthetics with contemporary playability.
Constructed with meticulous attention to detail, the guitar features a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, providing a smooth and comfortable playing experience. Equipped with P-90 pickups, renowned for their distinctive single-coil clarity and pronounced midrange presence, this SG Classic delivers a versatile tonal palette suitable for various musical genres.
The hardware components, including the Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, contribute to stability and sustain. Vintage-style tuners complete the ensemble, ensuring precise tuning stability. The instrument's aesthetic appeal is enhanced by its iconic Cherry Red finish.
This SG presents in near-new condition with very little wear to speak of. Other than light swirling on the pickguard and a slight amount of fretwear on the first 3 frets, this guitar looks and feels much younger than its 18 years of existence. The only modification made to this guitar is the original studs have been replaced with studs from a '78 Les Paul Custom.
With its iconic double-cutaway body shape, this 2006 Gibson SG Classic not only pays homage to its historical roots but also offers practical benefits, allowing easy access to the upper frets. This model remains a testament to Gibson's commitment to crafting instruments that seamlessly marry tradition with modern functionality. An excellent example at an affordable price!
Comes in its original Gibson OHSC.
