The Gibson SG has been one of Gibson\u2019s core solidbody models since the early 1960s, known for its thin mahogany body, bevelled double-cutaway shape and easy upper-fret access. By 2012, the SG Standard still followed the later full-face pickguard layout associated with many post-1966 SGs, but with modern Gibson USA production details and the 490R\/498T humbucker pairing.<\/p>\n
This 2012 Gibson SG Standard Limited is finished in Cream, one of the less common finishes from this period. The colour gives the guitar a very different look from the usual Heritage Cherry and black SG Standards, even more so on this particular guitar, which has been tastefully upgraded with a replacement cream pearloid full-face pickguard, rear electronics cover, and matching white\/gold reflector knobs. These really give the guitar a unique look and suit it well.<\/p>\n
The basic SG formula remains straightforward and effective: solid mahogany body, set mahogany neck, bound fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, dual humbuckers, Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. It is a light and comfortable guitar with the familiar SG balance of simple construction, direct controls and strong upper-fret access.<\/p>\n
This example weighs 2900g and includes the original black Gibson USA case with white interior, plus the original paperwork. It has standard playwear on the body, minor dings, minor stand-related nitro burn on the back by the heel, and a small area of finish flaking on the treble side between the 4th and 5th frets. This is not felt when playing and is not an issue.<\/p>\n
This is a really cool recent SG. Light, resonant, plays great, looks a bit different, and already road-tested and ready to rock some more.<\/p>\n
