Gibson USA 2017 SG Standard T Left Hand (Ebony) Overview
Gibson USA 2017 SG Standard T Overview by GAK:
Raising the Standard. When the double-cutaway SG was unveiled as the (temporary) replacement for the original single-cutaway Les Paul in 1961, it quickly proved itself far more than just a stand-in. An overnight success, this innovative guitar quickly became a favorite with rock, blues, and jazz players and more. The flagship of the SG range, the SG Standard 2017 T represents a superb blend of historic looks, tone, contemporary versatility and playability. Its iconic asymmetrical double-horned body styling and smaller 'teardrop' pickguard hark back to the originals of the early '60s, and the Classic '57 humbuckers likewise take you straight back to those hallowed PAF tones. When uncompromising performance matters, locking Grover kidney-button tuners, a slim taper neck and rosewood fingerboard with rolled binding, our finest modern aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece with elegant chrome plating provide a stylish and modern SG playing experience. The SG Standard 2017 T is delivered in a classic Gibson hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap, and a polishing cloth.
