A double cut with a powerful sound

The Gibson SG Standard HC is the latest iteration of one of this legendary guitarmaker's most iconic models, combining a classic design with the powerful sound and comfortable playability that have made the instrument a favourite for decades. Beneath the high-gloss Heritage Cherry finish, a mahogany body paired with a mahogany neck produces a warm and assertive tonal foundation, while the 490 R and 490 T humbuckers shape its core sound into the distinctive voice that defines the SG. Reliable aluminium hardware, including a Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece, ensures stable performance, while Grover machine heads and a Graph Tech nut on the headstock keep the instrument effortlessly in tune. Completing the package, the SG Standard comes with a road-ready softshell case featuring exterior pockets.

Gibson SG Standard HC, pickups and pick-guard

Perfect playability

The combination of a mahogany body and set-in mahogany neck has long provided the foundation for the Gibson SG's powerful and assertive tone, and the SG Standard is no exception, benefiting fully from this classic construction. Its rounded neck profile is pleasantly slim, paired with a rosewood fingerboard and a characteristically narrow neck heel, offering exceptional comfort for extended playing. The 490-R and 490-T pickups with chrome covers deliver the iconic SG sound faithfully to any amplifier it's hooked up to; each pickup is equipped with individual volume and tone controls for precise tonal shaping. Complementing this setup, the aluminum bridge and tailpiece, along with Grover machine heads, ensure the instrument stays reliably in tune, while still allowing quick and accurate adjustments whenever needed.

Genuine SG made in the USA

The Gibson SG Standard combines the familiar strengths and advantages that define all of Gibson's legendary US-made SG guitars with an exceptionally attractive price point, delivering the iconic full and rich sound that's ready to rock in almost any genre. Its 490 pickups provide remarkable clarity and transparency, making them equally capable of handling dynamically distorted tones while offering a wide palette of expressive options in clean playing. The rosewood fingerboard, fitted with 22 cryogenically treated medium frets and elegant trapezoid inlays, ensures precise intonation and a comfortable playing experience across the entire neck.

About Gibson

The Gibson Guitar Corporation was founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson and has its headquarters in Nashville, USA. Gibson is world famous and is loved by many musicians for its cult-status instruments. Gibson was responsible for building the world’s first mass-produced electric guitar, the ES-150, in 1936. The “Les Paul”, one of the first solid-body electric guitars, followed in 1952 and remains hugely popular to this day, in great part thanks to the “humbucker” pickups installed from 1957 onwards. The range has expanded over the years to include such well-known guitar models as the SG, the Flying V, and the ES-335, as well as bass guitars and acoustic guitars including the Thunderbird bass and the Hummingbird dreadnought. Well-known artists such as Pete Townshend, Slash, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, B.B. King, Michael Patrick Kelly, and Nikki Sixx, swear by Gibson guitars.

Classic SG sounds for everything that rocks

Whether it's used in Blues, Rock, or something heavier, the Gibson SG Standard is a true thoroughbred workhorse, thanks to its classic mahogany construction and the dynamic power of the 490 pickups. When paired with a quality amplifier, it delivers the signature SG tones, ranging from warm, clean sounds and crunchy riffs to singing leads, all projected with strong sustain and ample headroom, ensuring that the guitar commands the audience's attention in any setting.

Gibson Sg

Peacefrog 27.06.2021

I ordered the guitar knowing it was not in stock and there was a wait for the guitar.
However, the guitar arrived, but the website said and still says (at time of writing) it is out of stock.
The jackplug on the guitar was loose. One side of the nut is poorly finished and the guitar did not have the new nitro finish 'smell' normally associated with Gibson.
I have my doubts if this is a new guitar.

I fixed the jackplug and I ignore the nut. If this guitar had been in a shop I would have refused to buy it.
The only reason I kept it was because the lockdown and the problems with getting new guitars (which I doubt this is a new guitar. Maybe, a returns? Or one they just happened to find at the back of the warehouse when the website says they are out of stock?)

Weight is just less than 7lbs.
Pick ups are good. Good sound. nice neck profile.
No neck dive; but I do use a cotton Levy's strap.

Corzar 18.12.2021

This is an important guitar, also considering that it's the one played by the great Angus.
Apart jokes, the first time I played I had a bad feeling because I was used to play my other Fender Telecaster, and I was really disappointed, also because of the money spent. But already the second time it was great!
The guitar has a wonderful and varied sound. By working on knobs you can really get different sounds to play whatever genre you want.
I'm very happy of this purchase. I gave 3 stars to the features just because it doesn't have the vibrato which sometimes could be useful, but, apart that, I really advice this guitar.
So, what are you still waiting for? Buy and enjoy!

The Koala 28.09.2020

As a long-time Fender player, it took me a long time to purchase a Gibson. I was hesitant about the Quality Control issues which you hear so much about at Gibson. The guitar's construction is so different to a Fender, especially how the neck is set at an angle to the body. However, the wood and construction of this SG are really good, and I really like the sound into my Orange Rocker amps. Overdriven, the bridge pick-up is bright and ballsy. Neck pick-up is darker and better with less drive. Only downside is a small amount of varnish on one part of the neck binding, but it doesn't matter. A great guitar, and I only regret not buying it sooner.

Nearly forgotten Les Paul family. I couldn’t be more satisfied. That deep rock tone just pouring out👌A sparkling bit of history✨Really responsive volum and tone kontrolls. Neck dive is just a charming piece of history.
