Gibson SG Special electric guitars were initially introduced as an alternative to the SG Standard featuring P-90 single coil pickups, however current models have replaced these with 490T & 490R Humbuckers for a clear and fuller sound. Typically the Gibson SG Special is a stripped down, no-frills version of its Standard counterpart with the neck binding and mother-of-pearl inlays being removed, whilst retaining that unmistakable SG bite.

Other aspects of the Special remain unchanged, including the solid mahogany body and neck, iconic double cutaway shape, rosewood fretboard and 4 control knob set up. These features have made the Gibson SG Special one of the most popular electric guitars ever, used by countless musicians including Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Pete Townshend (The Who) and Carlos Santana.
