Classic Gibson looks and tones are yours with the SG Special T solidbody electric guitar. A set of 490R/490T pickups yields smoky humbucker tones that complement the SG Special T's resonant mahogany body wonderfully. A highly playable mahogany SlimTaper neck is topped with a new thicker rosewood fingerboard for a deeper, richer tone. Vintage-style keystone tuners provide traditional style with precise performance. A TekToid nut self-lubricates for enhanced sustain and accurate return to pitch. Complete with small-block pearloid inlays for a touch of vintage class, the Gibson SG Special T solidbody electric guitar delivers the goods.
 
This SG Special 2017 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
 
 
In the early 1960s, Gibson sought to bolster its reputation as a quality builder of electric solidbody guitars in the midst of slow sales of their now-iconic Les Paul. Originally intended as a new model of the Les Paul, this new design failed to obtain the endorsement of Les Paul himself, and as such was renamed the SG (Solid Guitar). The newly minted Gibson SG was thinner than the Les Paul, with two cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges, and no body binding. Originally advertised as having the "fastest neck in the world," the Gibson SG is presently one of the most copied solidbody electric guitar models in the world.
 
 
The Gibson SG Special T sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a SlimTaper profile. Early Gibson guitars had huge, often ungainly necks. By 1960, Gibson had gradually carved down this profile into what became their SlimTaper neck. As your fingers move down this neck, the precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio of the SG Special T's SlimTaper neck provides you with a consistent, fast, and comfortable feel. It's no wonder many lifelong guitar players consider the SlimTaper Gibson's finest neck.
 
 
Gibson's SG Special T packs humbucking power. When you really want to cook on a solo or deliver some thunderous power chords, you reach for a guitar that's got a pair of humbuckers, right? Forget all those thin, out-of-phase guitar sounds that session players overused in the 1980s and (sad to say) right through much of the '90s. That's not for you. Your sound is all about the warmth, punch, and midrange complexity you can only get from a pair of Gibson humbuckers. The SG Special T comes with a pair of 'em: a 490R in the neck position and a 490T at the bridge.
