Gibson SG Special P90 in Vintage Cherry, USED

The Gibson SG Special P90 in Vintage Cherry is a modern reissue of the classic SG design from the 1960s, celebrated for its sleek contours and raw, biting tone. The guitar’s mahogany body and neck provide rich sustain and a warm midrange, which balances perfectly with the bite of the P90 pickups. Its Vintage Cherry finish highlights the beautiful wood grain and showcases the SG’s distinctive double-cutaway shape, making it as visually iconic as it is sonically powerful.

Equipped with dual P90 single-coil pickups, the SG Special delivers a raw, gritty sound that is a hallmark of early rock, blues, and punk. P90s are known for their punch and clarity, sitting between the warmth of humbuckers and the brightness of standard single coils. These pickups provide a growling midrange with rich harmonics and a dynamic response that’s ideal for both aggressive riffs and articulate lead lines.

The guitar has a 24.75-inch scale length and a SlimTaper neck profile, which provides easy playability across the fretboard, especially for faster styles. The bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets adds a touch of elegance and smoothness under the fingers, making it comfortable for both lead and rhythm playing. The neck’s finish and classic dot inlays create a blend of traditional Gibson aesthetics with contemporary performance.

Outfitted with a wraparound bridge, the SG Special P90 offers a straightforward, resonant feel with reliable intonation. The simplicity of the controls—a master volume and tone for each pickup—keeps the focus on tone shaping and expression. This model combines vintage-inspired design with Gibson’s quality craftsmanship, making it ideal for players who want the classic look and sound of the SG with the distinctive bite of P90s.
