Description
The Gibson 2017 SG Standard Gold Series is an electric guitar that merges classic design with modern refinement. Revered by musicians for its iconic, double-cutaway style, the SG Standard packs a punch with its robust sound and smooth playability. Crafted from solid mahogany, this guitar offers a warm and resonant tone, ideal for both stage and studio performances.
Central to its sound is a pair of Gibson's 490R and 490T humbucking pickups. These pickups deliver a rich array of tones, from crisp and clear highs to deep, resonant lows, making it a versatile choice for a variety of musical genres. The slim taper neck profile provides a comfortable playing experience, allowing for fast and fluid fretwork that appeals to both seasoned professionals and budding guitarists.
The Gibson 2017 SG Standard Gold Series is finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its rich tonal character. The guitar also features a traditional Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for enhanced sustain and precise intonation.

Delicious Looks and Sound
This guitar has it all. Locking Grover tuners, beautiful gold hardware, and Gibson's Quick Connect pickup system. It plays fast, and is mean as hell. If an SG doesn't represent rock n' roll, I don't know what does. I use this guitar as a warmer alternate to my telecaster, so it translates very well with rock, pop, and country. The bite on this thing will leave a mark. The neck pickup is warm and rounded, and the bridge pickup has a fat twang.
