The 2023 Gibson SG Standard preserves the essence of late ’60s SG models, celebrated for their timeless allure. As a distinguished member of the Customer Color Series, the Gibson SG Standard, now available in Translucent Teal, introduces a captivating aesthetic to the iconic instrument’s lineage.
Forged from a singular, resonant slab of solid mahogany, the SG Standard’s body pays homage to its rich heritage. This tonally robust mahogany body forms the cornerstone for enduring resonance. The rounded profile mahogany neck ensures player comfort, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard, embellished with acrylic trapezoid inlays, provides a nuanced playing experience. With 22 frets and a scale length of 628.65 mm, the SG Standard beckons players to explore musical scales with precision and ease.
A touch of refinement is introduced by the single-ply cream binding along the fretboard, enhancing the guitar’s lines without overshadowing its iconic silhouette. This subtle cream detail harmonizes with the Translucent Teal finish, creating a visually mesmerizing aesthetic.
At the core of the SG Standard’s sonic identity reside the 490 R and 490 T Alnico 2 pickups. These pickups breathe a distinctive tone into each note, delivering a dynamic range that accommodates the diverse demands of players—from the classic thick grit SGs are renowned for to crystal-clear clean tones.
Draped in Translucent Teal, the SG Standard pays homage to Gibson’s legacy of audacious design choices while infusing a contemporary twist into the classic SG aesthetic. This finish not only commands attention but also represents a seamless fusion of vintage charm and modern flair. As a Gibson Expert Dealer, Russo Music proudly presents this Gibson SG Standard, accompanied by a soft-shell case, embodying the brand’s steadfast commitment to excellence.
