Gibson SG Special

About this guitar The Gibson SG Special is a solid body instrument that delivers a biting, articulate tone with easy upper fret access and lightweight feel. With its 24.75" scale length, mahogany body and mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fretboard, it offers a comfortable feel and confident sustain. 22 frets provide ample range for expressive playing and the SS pickup configuration allows a wide palette of tones. Fit and compatibility As a modern Gibson model, the SG Special uses standard hardware and routing. The pickup cavities are routed for SS pickups, so aftermarket replacements from major brands drop in with little or no modification. The Wraparound follows factory specifications, making it easy to upgrade or replace. Its neck pocket and electronics layout are compatible with popular aftermarket necks, pickguards and control harnesses. Installation notes This guitar uses standard screws and fittings for its region (imperial sizing). When upgrading parts, verify hole diameters and screw spacing, especially for the Wraparound and tuning machines. Pickup swaps may require minor soldering but no routing. Professional setup after modifications is recommended to maintain intonation and playability.
