Made in a particularly good year for SGs, this stunning Standard, which is now over 20 years old. is a killer player.
It features an all-mahogany construction finished in gloss Ebony lacquer, solid quarter-sawn mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with 12″ radius, trapezoid inlays, Corian nut, 1 11/16″ nut width, bound fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, Gibson Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, holly headstock overlay with mother-of-pearl inlaid logo and crown inlays, black top hat knobs with silver inserts, Tuneomatic ABR-1 bridge and Gibson’s most popular pickups, the 490R/498T Alnico humbuckers.
The SG Standard’s remarkable sustain is due largely to two unique features: the mortis & tenon neck joint which binds the neck to body so that the two pieces form one solid unit, employing the long tenon found on earlier SGs – plus the traditional 17 degree headstock angle, which increases pressure on the strings which maximizes string vibration between the nut and the tuners.
It features the neck profile of the mid-60’s, not at all chunky as the 50’s style, but nicely rounded.
It is in very good condition overall with some signs of use cosmetically. There are no breaks, cracks or repairs. There are some fine scratches to the body and scratchplate, some buckle rash to the reverse of the body and a few very minor dings that are not very noticeable at all. There are some deeper scratches to the scratchplate under one of the bridge posts. The neck and headstock are in good shape. There is some minor fretwear but nothing of concern.
Comes in its original brown Gibson hard shell case.
