About This Listing

Three piece voluted mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. two original P-90's on a mahogany body.

The hardware shows some tarnish from ageing. 6.4 lbs.

If you like big warm bottoms, extra presence in your mid's and very clear highs, then these P 90's punch out exactly that.

No wonder the likes of Clapton, Santana, Townsend, Garcia have them in their arsenal.

Product Overview
The Gibson SG Special was introduced in 1961 as a "mid-level" guitar. This set-neck mahogany guitar was a step up from the SG Junior with a pair of P-90 pickups, three-way switching, individual volume and tone controls, and a bound neck with dot inlays.

1966 saw a slight redesign of the SG Special, introducing a larger pickguard that went across the pickups and mid-way through the upper bout. 1966 also saw this model get the Vibrola tailpiece as standard, though stoptail models trickled out until early 1967.
