Construction
The SG Special features Gibson’s signature tried and trusted tonewood combinations. The Mahogany body delivers focused lows and a rich mid-range attack while the set Mahogany neck gives the SG fantastic sustain and warmth despite it's thin design. Adorned with a silky smooth Rosewood fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up and down the Slim Taper profile neck with unrivalled access to the upper frets.
Electronics
The SG Special is loaded with a pair of P-90 pickups, renowned for their fat snarl when driven and their smooth sweetness when played clean. With individual volume and tone controls for each pickup and a 3-way toggle switch, the SG Special is capable of delivering an array of articulate tones making it incredibly versatile.
Hardware
The SG Special is equipped with a super comfortable compensated wraparound bridge with chrome plating to extend its lifetime before patina sets in. The Graph Tech nut ensures excellent sound transfer and a set of vintage deluxe tuners with white buttons provide reliable tuning stability. This guitar is designed to be played hard and it will not let you down!
