Gibson SG Special

First introduced in the 1960s, the Gibson SG Special was built to be the more moderately priced, slightly stripped back little brother of the SG Standard, but this never stood in the way of its greatness. It sports the same double cutaway body giving you unparalleled access to the top of the SlimTaper neck, but comes rigged with a pair of P90 Soapbar pickups and a simple Stopbar bridge, making things just a little more streamlined and raucous than its Standard labelmate.

Just like its singlecut cousin the Les Paul Special, the SG Special found its way into the hands of some serious rock innovators, most notably the godfather of heavy metal Tony Iommi.

A selection of our Gibson SG Special guitars come included with a guitar case.
