The Gibson SG Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. This early '60s style SG Special has the vibe and sound heard on countless classic rock recordings. The comfortable, slim taper mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard is well known for fast, effortless playing. The two P-90 pickups are noted for their fat, snarl when driven and for their smooth, sweetness when played clean. The SG Special is equipped with the 3-way toggle switch, handwired controls and orange drop capacitors.

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I've owned over five Gibsons in that time, the SG being one of my favorite. This particular one caught my eye because it was an SG with P90s. It did not disappoint, and even exceeded my expectations. The neck and fret board are perfect. The action is slow and bendy. You literally feel like you can easily move up and down the fret board because you can. The guitar has three unique pickup positions, that are surprisingly different in sound and very usable for many things. The pickups are well made, loud, and bring an extra flair to the guitar itself. It is the best P90 Gibson I have played in a while. The craftsmanship is on point. The sale package is amazing and comes with a hard case, and several accessories. The weight of the guitar is perfect and light. I haven't been able to stop playing it.
