Gibson Custom Historic SG Standard Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)

Featuring an ultra thin, two-horned body, the SG Series addressed two of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register. The new body shape of the SG Standard was dramatically lighter than the old Les Paul, and offered access to the entire fretboard. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in their journey toward perfection.
