SG Special electric guitar from the Gibson Modern Collection, including case
The Gibson SG Special Vintage Cherry is clearly based on the authentic specifications of the mid-level model of the early sixties. The iconic solid body electric guitar from the Original Collection features the famous double-cutaway design with the raw and powerful sound of two P-90 pickups, while a slim taper neck and historically accurate hardware appointments provide the look and feel of the original. including a hardshell case!
The Gibson SG Special from the Original Collection features authentic appointments and powerful sounds from two Gibson P-90 single coils.
Double-cut body and mahogany neck
The Gibson SG Special Vintage Cherry follows the tried and true recipe and relies on solid mahogany for the body and neck construction, which allows unhindered access to the highest fingerboard layers. The slim taper neck profile and 22-fret rosewood fretboard with single-ply cream binding and classic dimensions provide nimble playability and the unmistakable feel of early '60s Gibson solid bodies.
Gibson P-90 Soapbar Single Coils
As a traditional Special model, the SG Special naturally features two Gibson P-90 single coils. The two single coils in the iconic Soapbar housing produce a powerful and present sound that combines the best qualities of the single coil and humbucker and both in the Clean and Drive know how to play out all the strengths. Both pickups are wired via classic wiring with real Orange Drop capacitors.
True to original hardware
As part of the Original Collection, the Gibson SG Special features the same hardware as its early sixties counterparts. Accordingly, the combination of compensated wraparound bridge and six vintage Deluxe tuners with oval white wings are used here, while the four Black top hats with silver reflectors impressively round off the authentic look of the Gibson SG Special.

SG Special electric guitar from the Original Collection
Overall happy with the gibson sg special. You can see on the guitar theres a couple of minor marks from the gibson factory. Nothing major. The string alignment is a little off. But dont mind. The low E string is closer to the top of the neck. I use my thumb alot so works out. If it was the other way around I might of sent it back. The electrics look good under the hood. Musicstore got the guitar very quickly to Ireland. Really good service with great updates. Very happy with the purchase:)
