2007 – Gibson SG Standard – Heritage Cherry

The Gibson SG Standard rocks the classic looks and features associated with the late-60s-style SG™ models so many players love. A solid mahogany body provides the backbone for singing sustain, while a rounded profile mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard deliver a comfortable playing experience across all 22 frets. A long tenon 19th fret neck joint enhances resonance, making it ideal for everything from vintage blues to modern high-gain solos. In the electronics department, the 490R (neck) and 490T (bridge) Alnico 2 humbuckers™ produce a versatile range of tones. Their clear, balanced output can easily cover a wide range of genres—softening nicely for warm clean passages and roaring to life when pushing an amp into overdrive. Dedicated volume and tone controls, along with a 3-way toggle switch, offer quick access to any sound you need. Visually, a black 5-ply full-face pickguard sets this SG Standard apart from other models, and chrome-finished hardware adds a timeless touch. Kluson Deluxe tuners keep tuning precise, while the aluminum Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure reliable intonation. Rounded out by silver reflectors, this SG Standard captures the look and spirit of Gibson’s classic late-60s design. Beautiful deep Heritage Cherry nitro finish looks excellent, comes with original plastics, cream switch tip, beautiful almost ebony dark rosewood fretboard, 22 frets. Weighs 7lb and 5oz and is set up on 10s. Comes in a clean aftermarket hardshell case. Screaming little thing, very resonant, this one sings.

Condition

Fair amount of patina and playwear on this excellent player-grade SG, light hazing, light checking, small dings, scratches, whirls in plastic. Truss rod cover not the original one, missing the SG. Lots more pictures of this one at my site which Reverb doesn’t want me to link to, but if you put a dotcom behind my shop name, you’d already be there.
