DISC Gibson SG Standard Min-ETune, Heritage Cherry

The warm, rich and responsive tone from Rosewood makes it the perfect fingerboard material. Offering clear and tight bass projection without overshadowing sparkling midrange or trebles, the 22 medium-jumbo frets are adorned with trapezoidal inlays, echoing the look of the original SG Standard.

The hand-buffed, high-gloss Natural Sunburst finish with sheen lacquer gives the SG Standard an appearance in keeping with its history. The nitrocellulose lacquer produces a finish that breathes with the guitar and enhances natural resonance, encourages a purer tone.

Equipped with 498 Treble and 490 Rhythm pickups which have the traditional characteristics of the original pickups of the late 1950s, except with a few extras. Wax-potted, lessening the changes of microphonic feedback, these pickups are humbuckers with a slight increase in upper mid-range response. Alnico magnets give more punch, providing an overall sound that can be juicy, warm with outstanding clarity in neck position yet switched to a wailing overdrive with near-infinite sustain in bridge position.

Individual volume controls and tone controls are used for each pickup, which use high-quality linear potentiometers. A three-way toggle switch pickup selector also features along with a 1/4" super heavy duty construction output jack which holds your guitar cable securely in place.

The finishing touches on the SG Standard include vintage-style tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge allowing you to adjust the string height and fine-tune intonation in minutes, aluminium strap buttons and an antique bell-shaped truss rod cover.

The Min-ETune™ is a compact battery-powered tuning unit that sits on the back of the headstock and is hardly visible from the front of the guitar. You can still adjust the tuning manually, but now you can turn on the Min-ETune to choose from twelve popular tunings or program six of your own. It tunes your guitar in just three seconds and one strum, and can even adjust to other instruments' imperfect tuning with Reference Tuning.
