Iconic guitar from the Gibson stable, a 2005 Gibson SG, body and neck crafted from mahogany, usual double-cutaway style with bevelled edges. Great playing guitar, great resonance and sustain. Dark rosewood fingerboard with a traditional SG with hum-bucking pickups, and fixed stoptail. Guitar is finished in nitrocellulose, oozing a vintage feel.
Pickups are quite powerful standard 498/500 Pups. Giving off as great sound , and give a great tone when played over my Hughes & Kettner . Tone and volume have the classic configuration of an independent volume and tone control for each pickup and a standard three-way toggle switch. Tune-o-matic bridge and vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons. Cream binding, black top hat with silver volume and tone inserts, and five-ply and traditional “bell” truss rod cover.
