About this listing
This is a 1996 Gibson SG All American I in Ebony, showcasing the stripped‑down, minimalist aesthetic that defines this mid‑90s USA‑made series. This example is “naked” — meaning it has no pickguard — giving it a clean, raw, and aggressive look that highlights the SG’s classic contours. It features a 24‑fret neck, offering extended range compared to traditional SG models and making it a great fit for lead players who want extra upper‑fret access.The guitar has been upgraded with an ESP humbucker, delivering a hotter, more articulate tone with excellent punch and clarity. It shows light cosmetic wear consistent with careful use, but nothing that affects playability or structural integrity. The finish still presents well, the neck is smooth, and the frets have plenty of life left. The aftermarket decals add character and can be removed if the buyer prefers a cleaner aesthetic. Electronics are fully functional with no noise, crackle, or issues.Included with the guitar is a grey fur‑lined Epiphone hard case, which provides excellent protection and a snug, secure fit for the instrument.The All American I series is known for its lightweight feel, fast necks, and no‑nonsense design — a true player’s SG. This one stays true to that formula while offering upgraded tonal versatility and extended fret access thanks to the ESP pickup and 24‑fret layout.Features:Model: Gibson SG All American IYear: 1996Finish: Solid BlackConfiguration: “Naked” — no pickguardNeck: 24 frets (extended‑range SG)Pickup: ESP humbucker (aftermarket upgrade)Mods: Aftermarket decals (removable)Condition: Light cosmetic wear; no cracks, breaks, or repairsPlayability: Fast neck, comfortable action, responsive feelElectronics: Fully functional, no issuesIncludes: Grey fur‑lined Epiphone hard caseA great example of a 90s USA‑made SG with upgraded tone, extended fret range, lightweight feel, and a clean, naked look.
