Description

Condition Note: Checking and light cracking in finish, almost definitely temperature shock.

Like the greatest SGs ever made, the SG Standard starts with a foundation of solid mahogany, a tonewood with a long tradition at Gibson. A solid mahogany body is crafted in the distinctive, thin asymmetrical dual-cutaway style, with iconic pointed “horns” and beveled edges to enhance playing comfort. A solid, Grade-A, quarter-sawn mahogany neck is glued into the body in Gibson’s time-tested tradition, and carved to a fast, slim taper profile. It is topped with a bound fingerboard made from genuine Grade-A rosewood with 22 medium-jumbo frets, and acrylic small block inlays.
