Gibson SG Special Worn Cherry 2011 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Gibson SG Special in Worn Cherry finish. Made in the USA in 2011, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body and Mahogany neck with 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Chrome Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece, with Nickel Gibson Deluxe tuning machines with Kluson-style 'Tulip' buttons. A pair of Gibson humbucking pickups are installed, with a 490R in the neck and 490T in the bridge wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls. 

The Mahogany neck plays well, with what could be described as a rather chunky 'D' profile that fills the hand nicely without feeling at all cumbersome. The open-pore Satin finish to the rear of the neck is very pleasant to the touch, and assists with smooth transitions up and down the register. The traditional 12" fingerboard radius feels as flat and consistent as ever, offering comfortable playability right the way up the neck. The familiar twin horns of the SG body provide uninhibited access to the upper frets, whilst the contoured edges of the body ensure that it sits snugly in the arms for a comfortable playing experience. 

The pair of Gibson humbuckers in this guitar are well regarded by Gibson players for their versatility. Whilst the hard rock tones you would expect from an SG are clearly present, the pickups offer a nice smooth and rounded tone that is suitable for a wide range of styles. Country and Blues players will like the bite of bridge pickup, whilst the warmth of the neck position can be appropriate for jazzy sounds, especially when rolling down the tone control. Independent volume and tone pots offer comprehensive control of your sound, making this a real workhorse instrument that matches the versatility of the musician.
