Gibson SG Standard; Pelham Blue Burst
Gibson SG Standard; Pelham Blue Burst
The Gibson SG Standard brings the iconic late ‘60s SG style to life with all the tone and attitude players crave. Now part of the vibrant Custom Colour Series, it adds fresh new finishes that stand out on stage or in any collection. Built for performance, it features a rounded mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, and a long tenon neck joint at the 19th fret - all anchored by a solid mahogany body for rich, sustained tone. The 490R and 490T Alnico 2 humbuckers deliver warm, punchy power with plenty of bite. A sleek black, 5-ply full-face pickguard gives it a bold, distinctive edge. This is a true classic with versatility to match. Includes a soft-shell case.
Ready For Anything
The SG Standard is ready for anything. It is regarded as one of the most versatile electrics ever made. Whether you play rock, pop, soul, blues, funk, metal, jazz or even gospel. The SG will have you covered. Incredibly lightweight and easy to handle and still full of sustain and bite.
Long Tenon
The Gibson SG Standard features a long tenon 19th fret joint. The shorter tenon joint of the early SGs can pose several issues to the guitar, particularly in regards to the strength and robustness to the neck. Gibson introduced the long tenon neck joint to SGs in the early 70s and it has been used ever since. Not only does it strengthen the neck join so that you have a more stable and reliable instrument but it also increased the amount of wood to wood contact in the neck pocket. This actually helps increase the sustain and gives a slightly bigger tone.
490 Pickups
Described as Gibson as the ‘Modern Classic’ the 490 humbucker pickups take the foundational tone of beloved PAF pickup but tweaks the classic design for the modern player. Players today like gain and lots of it. The trouble with the original PAF design was the open air space in the pickup. It's this air space that actually helps cause microphonic feedback problems, specifically when used with tons of gain or a very loud gigging amp. The 490 pickups are wax potted so that there is no air space whatsoever. Another problem modern players also find with traditional styled humbuckers is the fact that they only have 2 conductor wires. People love and need versatility and therefore want humbuckers that they can coil-split for a single-coil sound. That means they need a 4 conductor pickup. The 490 pickups give you this option. The 490 pickups also give you a slight increase in the upper midrange to help you cut through the mix more as well as push your amp even harder.
