The up-to-date tweaks of the left-handed Gibson Modern Collection SG set a new standard while losing none of that classic, brutal style. So, this double-cut model still bears the iconic set of horns while the mahogany body has been rounded-off a little more; softening it up for enhanced playing comfort. The long tenon, set-in mahogany neck is finished with the familiar feel of a 12 inch radius rosewood fretboard, and completes a fully assured acoustic tonal foundation, while a pair of Alnico II-based humbuckers offer way more than just a vintage vibe. The Gibson SG Standard: Wide-Ranging, Sweet Medium-Gain The double-coiled 490T at the bridge serves the meaty tone demanded by tight riffs and fat chords while the 490R at the neck adds a rich touch of cream and refined definition. The wide range of sweet, medium-gain tone that results is smoothly navigated using the three-way selector switch and a set of volume and tone pots per pickup. Meanwhile, the tuning of this fresh-faced SG is stabilised by a lightweight aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight Aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece, a Graph Tech nut, and a set of high-grade Grover Rotomatics machine heads. The Gibson SG Standard comes complete with a premium gig bag.
