Gibson Sg Standard 1980 - Cherry Red
Our users rate Reverb
The Gibson SG Standard 1980 is a remarkable example of the renowned Norlin-era production, combining the unmistakable aesthetics and aggressive tonal character that have made the SG one of the most iconic electric guitars in rock history. Finished in the classic Cherry Red lacquer, this instrument embodies the timeless appeal of Gibson's legendary double-cutaway design.
Crafted with a solid mahogany body and a mahogany neck, the SG Standard delivers exceptional resonance, sustain, and a rich midrange response. The comfortable C-shaped neck profile ensures smooth playability across the entire fretboard, making it equally suited for powerful rhythm work and expressive lead playing.
The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with elegant small block inlays, hosts 22 frets and offers a familiar playing experience that Gibson players have appreciated for decades. With its traditional 24.75-inch scale length, the guitar provides effortless string bending and a warm, singing tonal response.
A defining feature of this 1980 model is its original pair of Super Humbucking pickups, known for their powerful output, articulate midrange, and dynamic response. Whether driving a vintage tube amplifier into saturation or delivering clean, punchy tones, these pickups capture the unmistakable voice of the late Norlin-era SG.
Completing the specification is the trusted Tune-O-Matic bridge, ensuring excellent tuning stability, precise intonation, and outstanding sustain.
Combining vintage Gibson craftsmanship, collectible Norlin-era heritage, and the unmistakable SG sound, the 1980 Gibson SG Standard remains a highly desirable instrument for players, collectors, and enthusiasts seeking an authentic piece of Gibson history.
