- Description
- Guitarchives
Gibson SG Special T, black, made in USA 2017. What a looker! The cream-on-black combo is eye-catching, and paired with the 60s style mini-block inlays and gold top hat knobs, this looks the business. There's barely a mark on it too, despite these thin finishes tending to show marks pretty quickly. The body is remarkably lightweight, but it still balances nicely against the body. There's heaps of attack and punch in the tone, it's very immediate and perfect for punk chugs and big rhythm parts. The neck is a slim 60s style shape, with a traditional SG taper as you go up the neck... it's intuitive in the hands and doesn't make you work too hard to get your notes out. It'll look good with your matching tux, right?
