The Gibson SG Standard 2019 (Heritage Cherry) is a 6-string Electric Guitar with a classic Double-Cut design with the characteristic sound and feel of the 1961 original. The classically slim Mahogany neck is in the familiar Slim Taper profile, and creates a familiar Gibson feel across all 22 frets, whilst 2x Gibson 490R and 490T humbuckers provide the necessary output for powerful Overdrive sounds. The Gibson SG Standard 2019 is completed by solid SG hardware with Tune-o-Matic Bridge, aluminium Stop-Bar and Grover Rotomatic mechanics in chrome finish.
Double Cut Mahogany Body & Slim Taper Neck
The all-Mahogany construction of the SG Standard 2019 follows the slender original dimensions of the early models and presents the classic resonant glue connection between neck and body for the unmistakably powerful sustain of the SG and a comfortable thumb rest in the high registers. 22x frets in cryogenically treated low format not only offer a tried and tested vintage feeling, but also far less wear and tear on the frets in the long term.
490R & 490T Modern Classic Humbucker
2x classic Gibson 490R and 490T "Modern Classic" humbuckers deliver the famous sounds of the SG between neck and bridge, the Alnico II Pick-Ups faithfully recreating the sound of the distinctive midrange. In the neck position, the 490R produces distinctive neck sounds with amplified mid-range response, while in the bridge position, the 490T produces a powerful, clear sound with strong trebles and mids. Both Pick-Ups are classically controlled by separate Volume and Tone controls as well as a 3-way toggle.
Solid Hardware
The hardware of the SG Standard 2019 is also accurate to the model of the early sixties, and consists of a Nashville Tune-o-Matic bridge with 6x individually adjustable string riders and a matching aluminium Stop-Bar. The headstock, on the other hand, features 6x original Grover Rotomatic tuners with stable tuning and durable metal kidney grand pianos. All hardware of the Gibson SG Standard 2019 is kept in the uniform chrome finish.
