The Gibson 2014 SG Futura Min-ETune celebrates Gibson's 120th anniversary, delivering classic SG style with a few ultra-modern modifications.

 Packed with a BurstBucker 3 humbucker at the bridge and Gibson's new P-90H Sidewinder at the neck, the SG Futura Min-ETune adds a dynamic duo of punch and class to your sound.

The mahogany body is crafted in the shape of Gibson's original SG, and the slim taper maple neck makes for easy action and smooth fret playing while exhibiting a vintage '60s look.

In addition, the SG Futura Min-ETune sports push-pull coil-splitting volume pots and the fantastic Min-ETune tuning system for quick and automated tuning.

Finally, just below the chrome Tune-o-Matic bridge is a +15 dB boost switch for when you want an extra kick in volume. You'll look great and sound fantastic with this modern Gibson release!

Gibson 2014 SG Futura Min-ETune

As one of several models for Gibson's 120th Anniversary celebrations, the SG Futura 2014 combines an unprecedented set of features with truly incredible value. Backed by legendary tone and launched into the 21st century by some of Gibson's most stunning innovations yet, this is a guitar primed to rock your world -- and do it in style.

The SG Futura 2014 begins with a foundation of traditional tonewoods, kicks it up a notch with the pairing of an overwound-PAF-style BurstBucker 3 humbucker in the bridge position and Gibson's P-90H Sidewinder humbucker in the neck, then takes it all to the next level with push/pull coil-split switching and an onboard 15 dB boost. Add the astounding Min-ETune automated tuning system and a whole raft of 120th Anniversary features, and this is a stunning performance package at any price.

Innovative 120th Anniversary additions for 2014 include larger no-slip strap buttons, black Max Grip Speed Knobs, a black GraphTech nut, long-life proprietary coated guitar strings, cryogenic treated fret wire for longer life and corrosion resistance, a full PLEK setup, and a 120th Anniversary logo inlay at the 12th fret.

Body and Neck

The SG Futura is crafted in the image of the original SG Standard, with an asymmetrical double-cutaway body for excellent upper-fret access. It's made from solid mahogany, with a glued-in maple neck sporting a slim '60s profile. The rosewood fingerboard is topped with a black GraphTech nut, and carries 24 cryogenic-treated frets for long life and corrosion resistance, with dot inlays and a commemorative 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret.

Pickups and Electronics

The guitar carries a versatile pair of pickups, including a BurstBucker 3 in the bridge position and a P-90H Sidewinder Humbucker in the neck position. These pickups are built with the power to rock, excelling in heavy crunch and wailing lead tones, yet they clean up beautifully for mellower moments, adapting themselves to your every need. They're wired through the traditional complement of independent volume and tone controls with a three-way selector switch, then add push/pull coil-split switching and an onboard 15 dB boost with mini-toggle switching.

Hardware

The SG Futura is stage-ready for the 21st century thanks to its factory-installed Min-ETune tuning system, which automatically tunes your guitar on demand in seconds, or calls up any one of 12 factory or 6 user presets at a simple strum of the strings. A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor it all down for outstanding resonance and sustain, while enlarged strap buttons keep your guitar secure throughout the set. Max Grip black speed knobs are joined by a black pickguard and black truss-rod cover.
