The Gibson SG Standard 2016 in Ebony is a sleek and powerful electric guitar that carries forward the iconic legacy of the SG series. With its double-cutaway mahogany body and black gloss finish, this SG delivers a striking aesthetic that complements its aggressive tonal character. The lightweight body offers excellent resonance, while the beveled edges and sculpted shape make it comfortable to hold, even for extended periods of playing. Its distinctive design ensures both easy access to higher frets and a classic rock 'n' roll look.

Equipped with a pair of Gibson's ’57 Classic humbuckers, this SG offers a versatile range of tones, from smooth, bluesy warmth to aggressive rock growls. These pickups are modelled after PAFs (Patent Applied For) from the late 1950s, giving them a vintage voice with plenty of character and depth. The neck pickup provides a warm, rich sound ideal for clean tones and jazzier textures, while the bridge pickup delivers a sharp, punchy attack perfect for overdriven rock riffs. The three-way toggle switch and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup offer versatile tone-shaping options, making it a great fit for a wide range of styles.

The neck of the 2016 SG Standard is made from mahogany with a Slim Taper profile, which provides a fast, comfortable playing feel—perfect for both intricate lead lines and robust chord playing. The rosewood fingerboard is smooth and responsive, featuring trapezoid inlays that add to its classic look. The 24.75-inch scale length and well-balanced design make this guitar effortless to play, while the larger pickguard provides protection and adds to the vintage aesthetic.

Additional features include chrome hardware, Grover tuners, and a tune-o-matic bridge for solid tuning stability and precise intonation. The Gibson SG Standard 2016 in Ebony is a great choice for guitarists seeking a versatile instrument with both modern playability and classic SG tone. It’s perfect for players who want the signature sound of Gibson humbuckers paired with the iconic design that has shaped the sound of rock music for decades.
