Raising the Standards When the double-cutaway SG was unveiled as the (temporary) replacement for the original single-cutaway Les Paul in 1961 it quickly proved itself far more than just a stand-in. An overnight success, this innovative guitar quickly became a favorite with rock, blues, and jazz players and more. The flagship of the SG range, the SG Standard 2017 T represents a superb blend of historic looks and tone and contemporary versatility and playability. Its iconic asymmetrical double-horned body styling and smaller 'teardrop' pickguard hark back to the originals of the early ’60s, and the Classic ’57 and ’57 + humbuckers likewise take you straight back to those hallowed PAF tones. When uncompromising performance matters, locking Grover kidney-button tuners, a slim taper neck, rosewood fingerboard with rolled binding, and our finest modern aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece with elegant chrome plating provide a sylish and modern SG playing experience. The SG Standard 2017 T is delivered in a classic Gibson hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap, and a polishing cloth. Solid mahogany body and neck. One-piece rosewood fingerboard with compound radius. Slim taper neck profile. Tektoid nut. 22 polished frets. 57 Classic and '57 Classic+ humbuckers made with Alnico magnets. 2 volumes, 2 tones, 1 toggle switch Chrome-plated aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Locking Grover kidney-button tuners. Black top hat knobs. Classic Gibson hardshell case.
