Description

Rev up your playing with the Gibson SG GT Electric Guitar, a rock icon inspired by the power and flair of American muscle cars. This exceptional instrument is all about bold aesthetics and premium performance, making it a standout choice for musicians who crave both style and substance. The vibrant, racing stripe finish is not just a nod to high-speed thrills but also a testament to Gibson's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.

At the heart of the SG GT is its onboard high-pass filter circuit, ensuring your sound remains crisp and clear, even at high volumes. The ebony fretboard, adorned with trapezoid inlays, offers a smooth playing experience, while the coil-splitting capabilities provide a versatile tonal palette, from warm, full-bodied humbucking tones to bright, single-coil sounds. Equipped with factory straplocks, this guitar is ready for any stage, giving you the freedom to perform without worry.

Whether you're laying down intricate solos or power-chording through anthems, the Gibson SG GT's long, bulbous tailpiece not only adds to its visual appeal but also enhances its sustain and tuning stability. This limited-run model isn't just about looks; it's about delivering a playing experience that matches its striking appearance.

Key Features:

  • Onboard high-pass filter circuit for enhanced clarity
  • Ebony fretboard with trapezoid inlays
  • Coil-splitting capabilities for versatile sound options
  • Factory-installed straplocks for secure performance
  • Long, bulbous tailpiece for improved sustain and tuning stability

Critic Reviews

Gibson SG GT Review | Chorder.com

chorder.com

The Gibson SG GT aims for a vintage hot rod aesthetic but falls short in performance, earning a dismal user rating of 1.81 out of 5. While its flashy design and chrome hardware might catch the eye, the quality and reliability don't live up to Gibson's storied legacy. With active humbuckers and a unique bridge setup, it promises versatility but delivers mediocre sound and questionable build quality. Despite its visual appeal, the SG GT struggles to justify its place in a guitarist's arsenal, making it more of a collector's piece than a reliable workhorse. Proceed with caution.

Guitar World:

I've had my main guitar for many years, which was a Gibson SG GT model, and I stuck with that one for I don’t know how many years. And of course, I had a main one but I do have extra copies of that guitar. I don’t know how many but that has been my main guitar.

When I first joined Shinedown, I had a definitive vision of what I wanted to have on-stage and what I wanted to present. That vision was to have all Gibsons, all in black. I have an ES-335, Les Paul Custom, a ’57 reissue, a ’67 reissue Flying V, an Elvis Presley Signature Dove, the black SG GT, an Explorer and a black Firebird. When you see all those guitars together in a rack, it just has such a presence.
