Here for sale we have a left handed Gibson SG Special in Ebony finish. Made in the USA in 2000, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a StopBar tailpiece, ABR-1 ToM bridge & Gibson Deluxe tuning machines with 'Tulip' buttons. A pair of passive Gibson humbucking pickups are installed, with a 490R in the neck and 490T in the bridge. These are wired to a three way toggle switch and independent volume & tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a nicely rounded profile which might be described as a 'C' shape. This is perfect for a wide range of styles and playing techniques as it is both comfortable and manageable across the register. The Rosewood of the fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 12" radius is equally well suited to fast lead lines & chord playing. The dual cutaway body design with the comparatively small heel of the SG ensures that access to the upper frets is unobstructed.
The 490R and 490T pickups sound thick and raw, with a solid output that pushes the front end of an amp nicely. The neck pickup is full and warm whilst remaining tight. The midrange is perfectly balanced and delivers plenty of power for your lead and solo tones. The bridge has a hot output and produces a biting tone which easily cuts through the mix for those rock rhythm sounds, and delivers a saturate harmonic distortion. The SG has always been a versatile instrument, and with the traditional control layout & a great pair of pickups, this instrument lives up to that reputation.
