Top-class rock and blues guitar with a classic sound and comfortable handling
Featuring the legendary design with the two distinctive horns, the Gibson SG Standard Custom Color Silver Mist proves to be a first-class blues and rock guitar with smooth handling and first-class sound. While the tried-and-tested set-neck construction with a mahogany neck and body provides the basis for a powerful sound, the not-too-strong "rounded" neck profile promises comfortable playability in all positions of the rosewood fingerboard. With a Set of the popular Gibson 490 humbuckers, the SG Standard delivers powerful sounds with a broad mid-range spectrum and the ideal dose of bite on the guitar amp, whose preferred métier is Blues and rock. Last but not least, the Gibson SG Standard is equipped with Grover Rotomatictuners and the classic pair of Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece.
The Gibson SG Custom Color Silver Mist is a classically designed blues and rock guitar with first-class playing and sound characteristics.
The glued mahogany neck with a "rounded" profile can be played up to the highest registers without any problems.
SG in proven construction
The SG Standard electric guitar is built according to traditional standards, offering a perfect blend of robust sound and effortless playability. Its ergonomic mahogany body fits comfortably against the player and ensures seamless access to the upper frets of the set mahogany neck due to its distinctive double cutaways. Moreover, the smooth yet substantial "rounded" neck profile, with a 43 mm nut width, fits naturally in the hand, facilitating the classic playing techniques of blues and rock with ease.
Alnico II humbuckers in the form of a Gibson 490R and a Gibson 490T deliver first-class blues and rock sounds.
Gibson 490R and 490T humbuckers
With a Gibson 490R humbucker in the neck position and a Gibson 490T humbucker on the bridge, two modern classics from the Gibson pickup line-up take over the electric sound conversion of the SG Standard electric guitar. As a slightly modernized PAF interpretation, the classic Alnico II pickups deliver a warm sound with a full mid-range spectrum and lively dynamics, which is suitable for both sensitive clean passages and powerful overdrive riffs. The increased Output of the bridge pickup also helps to elicit a juicy Distortion from the guitar amplifier. In addition to the 3-way pickup switch, there are separate volume and tone controls for the humbuckers to adjust the sound of the electric guitar.
Classic Grover Rotomatics keep the SG Standard safely and precisely in tune.
Tradition-conscious hardware equipment
Last but not least, Gibson equips the SG Standard Custom Color Silver Mist Double Cut guitar with tradition-conscious and reliable add-on parts. An aluminum stopbar on the body holds the strings securely and guides them to the classic Nashville aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose generous adjustment options guarantee precise intonation and comfortable string action. Behind the Graph Tech nut, Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure precise tuning with unshakeable stability.
Very resonant, I can feel the vibrations on my left hand (neck hand) while playing. Good sustain, and mics are really versatile.
I really appreciate the included pjoto and ceklur list of Music Store's quality control and I nust say that the guitar was really well set up our of the box! Strings are sitting nice and low and practically no fret buzz ar all, one of the best feeling Gibsons I have played!

I've been saving money as hard as possible so that I could afford a Gibson SG. I checked several musical instrument store on the web and Music Store was the only one to have it in stock and ready to deliver :)
I am very excited by the noise this guitar makes, I also bought a Marshall DSL40CR to play it through. Sounds both clean and very very dirty.
I am a happy guitarist!

This is a very good looking guitar with a really fat sound. The tuning is good the neck easy to play and the frets feel good under the strings. For the last 30 years I played guitars with locking system tremolo bar and at first it felt different playing the SG. After a while it does feel amazing: It is a powerful guitar with a very raw sound and very easy to play, up to the last fret. One more thing:the SG is very lightweight . Overall this is a guitar that should be made default for any serious guitar player.
