Gibson SG Standard Ebony

The Gibson SG Standard solid body electric guitar isn’t just an instrument—it’s a rite of passage. Born in ’61, this guitar has been in the hands of rule-breakers, riff-makers and stage-shakers ever since. Sleek, fast and unapologetically bold, the SG is leaner than a Les Paul and louder than life. Think Angus Young duckwalking across stadiums or Tony Iommi forging the sound of metal. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or igniting a live set, this is the guitar that says you’ve arrived.

Mahogany Body With Signature Gibson Resonance

The SG Standard’s solid mahogany body delivers rich tone, harmonic depth and the kind of sustain that made Gibson famous. A long-tenon neck joint at the 19th fret adds punch and stability, while the nitrocellulose finish lets the wood breathe and age naturally. This is the same tonewood that powered Sabbath’s heaviest riffs—and it’s still built to sing.

490R and 490T Pickups With Classic Growl

Equipped with 490R and 490T Alnico II humbuckers, this SG covers everything from bluesy warmth to sharp, articulate bite. The neck pickup delivers smooth soul, while the bridge cuts through with definition. These pickups don’t just emulate vintage tone—they’ve helped define it, from Derek Trucks to Angus Young.

Legendary Gibson Control Layout With Modern Touch

Two volume knobs, two tone knobs and a three-way toggle switch—no gimmicks, just proven control. Artists from Frank Zappa to Sister Rosetta Tharpe have shaped their sound with this layout. It’s fast, flexible and made for players who know how to dial in what they want, instantly.

Stage-Ready Hardware With Player-First Feel

The SG Standard features a rounded mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard for smooth playability across all 22 frets. A Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide stable intonation and long-lasting sustain. With classic keystone tuners and solid hardware, it’s built for the road—but just as comfortable in the studio.

Lightweight Design With a Legacy of Power

Thin, fast and endlessly playable, the SG remains a rock icon because it’s built for action. From Santana’s historic Woodstock set to Ty Segall’s fuzzed-out anthems, the SG has shaped sound across generations. And with the included softshell case, you’re ready to hit the road the moment inspiration strikes.
