Gibson USA SGS00LHCCH1 SG Standard Left-Handed Electric Guitar - Heritage Cherry

Left-Handed 6-String Solid Body Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard, Includes Hardshell Case. Made in the USA.

Put your horns up for the Gibson USA SG Standard. The best-selling Gibson of all time, the SG has dug its horns deep into a wide variety of musicians since its introduction in 1961 when evolved it out of the famed Les Paul, and it maintains its dominance today with incredible feel and tone from features like a rounded mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, solid mahogany body with 5-ply pickguard, and dual 490 humbucking pickups with Alnico II magnets.

There’s not much more iconic than the Gibson SG. The Nashville-based company have injected the Standard model with a new lease of life to keep it rocking for years to come. This is the ultimate rock guitar made to be played live.

BODY AND NECK

The Rosewood fingerboard is a mainstay throughout the Standard range. Not much can beat the feeling of a beautiful, grainy Rosewood for effortless playing on the 22 rolled frets. Its slim taper Mahogany neck provides the lightning-fast playability which the SG was designed for in the mid-20th century. It retains the matching resonant Mahogany trans finish body that offers huge sustain. The SG is also still as light as ever. Great for high-octane live shows or comfortable playing for hours on end at home.

SOUND

Gibson’s 490R and T pickups are a perfect balance between modern and vintage. They’re designed to accentuate the midrange and retain a relatively broad bass and treble full frequency. Their unbalanced coils give them top-end bite and punchy tone. Two tone and two volume knobs give you plenty of room to manoeuvre and shape unique sounds.

HARDWARE

The Graph Tech nut and Grover tuners combination ensures stable tuning and excellent sound transfer, so you can go wild with bends, vibrato and aggressive playing. Gibson have equipped the SG with a super sturdy Tune-O-Matic bridge and an aluminium stopbar. No rusting, easy to clean and extreme comfort for the picking hand.

The Gibson SG Standard rocks the classic looks and features associated with the late 60's style SG models sought after by many. A rounded profile mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, long tenon 19th fret neck joint, and a solid mahogany body provide the backbone for singing sustain. The 490R and 490T Alnico II pickups provide the power to drive. A black, 5-ply, full-face pickguard set this SG Standard apart from others... a truly versatile classic.
