Gibson SG Standard 2008 in Cherry, USED

The Gibson SG Standard 2008 in Cherry is a classic and versatile guitar that pays homage to one of Gibson’s most iconic models, known for its sleek design and powerful sound. With its lightweight, double-cutaway mahogany body, this SG Standard is designed for comfort and playability, offering easy access to the upper frets and a bold visual appeal with its deep, rich cherry finish. The contoured body, coupled with the guitar's balanced weight, makes it perfect for long gigs or studio sessions without causing player fatigue.

At the heart of the SG Standard's sound are its two Gibson humbucking pickups: a 490R in the neck and a 498T in the bridge. These pickups deliver a rich, warm tone with plenty of clarity and bite, suitable for everything from clean tones to overdriven rock and metal. The 490R provides smooth, creamy tones ideal for lead playing and rhythm, while the 498T adds more aggression and brightness, making it great for cutting through the mix in solos or heavier riffing. With a 3-way selector switch and independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, this SG Standard offers a wide tonal range to suit various musical styles.

The guitar features a set mahogany neck with a slim '60s profile, making it fast and comfortable to play. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard is adorned with trapezoid inlays, offering a classic aesthetic touch. The 24.75” scale length and medium jumbo frets provide a familiar feel for Gibson players, ensuring smooth bending and effortless playability across all genres. The neck's slim profile, combined with the SG’s natural lightweight body, makes it ideal for players who favor speed and fluidity in their playing.

The Gibson SG Standard 2008 comes equipped with high-quality hardware, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for excellent sustain and tuning stability. The Grover tuners ensure precise tuning adjustments and reliability on stage or in the studio. The SG Standard in Cherry is a guitar that not only looks stunning but also offers the powerful, resonant tone that has made the SG a favorite of legendary players across rock, blues, and metal for decades. It’s an ideal choice for those who want a piece of rock history with modern performance features.
