Made in the USA in 2012, the Gibson SG Standard features a mahogany body with a slim 60's profile mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard (12" radius, 43mm nut width). Weighing a nimble 3kg's, it's loaded with the original Gibson humbuckers and wiring with a replacement 3-way pickup selector.
Very clean overall condition with a professional partial headstock repair as pictured. The repair was glued and clamped before receiving a light nitro overspray to help it blend in and is undetectable in the hand. The neck is straight and the frets have only very light wear, the truss works perfectly.

Over the years, Gibson has offered many iterations of the SG, but none has stuck around quite like the Gibson SG Standard. After its introduction as a replacement to the Les Paul in 1961, the SG's sharp, striking double-cut, beveled edges, and solid mahogany body, have all placed the SG squarely in the realm of legendary solidbody guitars. Though it was called the Les Paul after its initial production, the moniker was dropped in preference to SG. The SG Standard remains one of Gibson's most popular guitars and one of the brand's top-selling models since its release used by by players like Tony Iommi, Jeff Tweedy, and Angus Young. The Gibson SG Standard has seen many evolutions, existing and enduring through different additions and subtractions, but still remains one of the most iconic Gibson guitars.
