Rock Royalty
The SG Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved — shaping sound across generations and genres of music. This early 60s style SG Special has the vibe and sound heard on countless classic rock recordings. The comfortable, SlimTaper mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard are well known for fast, effortless playing. The two P-90 pickups are noted for their fat snarl when driven and their smooth sweetness when played clean. The SG Special is equipped with the 3-way toggle switch and has hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors. A hardshell case is included.

FEATURES:

  • Mahogany body
  • Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer
  • Rounded mahogany neck
  • Scale Length: 24.75″ / 62.865cm
  • 12″ Rosewood fretboard
  • Neck pickup: P-90
  • Bridge pickup: P-90
  • Case: Soft Shell Case

P-90 Single Coil Pickup Legendary Tone
First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson’s legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90’s traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favourite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the “Soapbar” and the “Cobalt,” the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It’s perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It’s also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
