Gibson SG Special - Ebony with Hard Shell Case

The Gibson SG Special: Iconic Rock Tone with Classic Style

Classic Mahogany Body with Vintage Design

The Gibson SG Special in Ebony revives the early '60s SG design, known for its distinctive double-cutaway shape and lightweight mahogany body. This iconic guitar has been a staple in rock history, offering a balanced, resonant tone with impressive sustain. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances its vintage appeal, making it a timeless piece for any player’s collection.

SlimTaper Mahogany Neck for Fast Playability

The SG Special’s SlimTaper mahogany neck is designed for fast, smooth playability, paired with a bound Indian rosewood fingerboard that feels comfortable under the fingers. With a 12” radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, this neck design is ideal for lead playing, allowing you to move effortlessly up and down the fretboard. The glued-in set neck enhances sustain and resonance, making this guitar an excellent choice for soloing and rhythm work alike.

Dual P-90 Pickups for Versatile Tones

Equipped with dual P-90 pickups, the SG Special produces a range of tones, from the fat, snarling overdrive perfect for rock to the smooth, articulate cleans ideal for jazz and blues. Known for their distinctively rich midrange, these P-90s provide a dynamic response and work beautifully for players who want a blend of vintage warmth and modern edge. The 3-way toggle switch and hand-wired Orange Drop capacitors offer complete control over your tone.

Reliable Hardware and Vintage Aesthetics

This SG Special features a compensated wraparound bridge and vintage-style deluxe tuners with white buttons, adding both style and function. The chrome hardware complements the black 5-ply pickguard and vintage-style control knobs, creating an aesthetic that’s classic yet unmistakably rock-ready. This guitar includes a 2-ply bell truss rod cover, black top hat knobs with silver reflectors, and other vintage-inspired details.

Protected with a Gibson Hardshell Case

To ensure safe transport, the Gibson SG Special comes with a Gibson hardshell case. This premium case is ideal for traveling musicians and provides excellent protection for the guitar, making sure it’s ready to perform at any venue.
