SG-3 Electric Guitar, Ebony description:
The Gibson SG-3 Electric Guitar, Ebony. Pushes the power, sustain, and tonal range of the legendary Gibson SG to a new level.
The Gibson SG-3 Electric Guitar evolves once more, giving guitarists an unbelievable tonal spectrum to play with. The Gibson SG Standard resulted from Gibson’s bold move in 1960 to initiate a thorough redesign of the iconic Les Paul Standards of the late 1950s. Today, the Gibson SG-3 pushes the power, sustain, and tonal range of the legendary SG to a new level by adding a third pickup, and a revolutionary six-way pickup switch—giving players a wide range of sonic possibilities. A pair of Gibson’s ’57 Classic pickups sit in the neck and middle positions, with a single ’57 Classic Plus anchoring the bridge position—all with gold covers. The ’57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch, while the ’57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge-position companion to the ’57 Classics, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs. Gibson’s new chicken-head-knob-topped rotary pickup selector offers six different pickup combinations for a wide range of tonal options: bridge, bridge/middle, middle, middle/neck, neck, and bridge/neck. The rest of the SG3 is pure SG: streamlined mahogany body, traditional 22-fret mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and rounded profile, and the twin cutaways offering easier access to the higher frets.
