A breathtaking flamed top on a 20th-century guitar icon.
The Gibson SG Supreme Electric
Guitar with '57 Humbuckers has 24 easy-to-reach frets. A flamed maple top with stunning burst finishes and a bound ebony fretboard
featuring split-diamond inlays result in one of the sweetest-looking SGs ever. Stadium-ready tone comes from the amazing '57
humbuckers that dictated a whole generation of rock 'n' roll sound. Alnico II magnets, vintage enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated
pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and 2-conductor braided wiring make these true vintage heavyweights that dish out
creamy clean tones, screaming sustain, and gravelly crunch. Gibson's classic wood combination of maple-on-mahogany body with
a mahogany set neck adds resonance and sustain. 1959 slim-tapered neck furnishes a fast feel. Includes Gibson hardshell case.
A
Little SG History
In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that
making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist
did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar".
Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between
the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built
and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton,
Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
