2014 Gibson SG Futura 120th Anniversary – Bullion Gold Fade – P-90H / BurstBucker 3 – Grovers – OHSCVery cool and unusual 2014 Gibson USA SG Futura in Bullion Gold Fade, produced for Gibson's 120th Anniversary.The Futura was one of Gibson's more interesting SG variations, combining the traditional SG platform with a 24-fret neck, P-90H Sidewinder neck pickup, BurstBucker 3 bridge pickup, coil splitting and a factory +15 dB active boost.The original Min-ETune robotic tuning system—the part of these guitars that hasn't exactly aged gracefully—has been removed and replaced with a vintage set of Grover tuners, making this a much more conventional and reliable guitar to live with.Otherwise, the guitar is stock and includes a Gibson hardshell case.Features Made in USA – 2014 Serial #140041364 Bullion Gold Fade finish Mahogany SG body Set maple neck with '60s Slim Taper profile Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets Gibson 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret Gibson P-90H Sidewinder hum-canceling neck pickup Gibson BurstBucker 3 bridge humbucker Push/pull coil splitting Factory +15 dB active boost w/fresh 9-volt battery 3-way pickup selector Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece Graph Tech nut Vintage Grover tuners replaced the Min-ETune robotic tuners Original Gibson hardshell case The P-90H/BurstBucker combination gives this guitar considerably more tonal range than a conventional SG. The Sidewinder provides the character of a P-90 while remaining hum-canceling, while the hotter BurstBucker 3 handles the traditional humbucker territory. The coil-splitting and onboard boost add even more options. These were all factory features of the Futura.
