Untouchable sound

You'll see a lot of hyperbole regarding the pickups in an electric guitar. And that's no surprise - they're the biggest factor in determining what kind of sound you get out of the instrument. But this Gibson Custom SG features pickups that are more than a little bit special: Gibson Custombuckers. These really do sit at the very zenith of the guitar electronics world.

The Custombucker gives you a sound that's as close to Gibson's original, hallowed '50s PAF pickup as you're ever going to get. You get a tone that's well-rounded, powerful, and totally iconic. Similar to the pickups used by the likes of Slash and Jimmy Page, Custombuckers will give your music that extra, old school edge it needs to really set itself apart from the rest. And the best bit? You get three of these terrific tone titans in the Custom SG. That's a whole lot of power...

Expertly engineered playability

You deserve a guitar that gives you the optimum playing experience. This is that guitar. Gibson have crafted it with playability in mind. The slick mahogany neck is a joy to hold, and its smooth feel will make sliding up and down the scale a breeze. Your fingertips will enjoy the luxury of a premium ebony fingerboard, providing maximum playing comfort and stunning definition in every note you play. All-round excellence.

A rock 'n' roll relic

A lot of guitars boast vintage sound. But not many can boast the enthralling vintage aesthetic that this SG Custom possesses. You can really tell that Gibson have gone out of their way to create an instrument that isn't just sonically excellent - it's visually sensational too. The heavily aged classic white finish makes this guitar look like a worn-in legend of rock 'n' roll. And with sparkling block inlays and gold hardware, you've got an instrument that'll shine extravagantly beneath stage lights. This is a remarkable guitar. And everyone will know that just from looking at it.

Custom Shop quality

Expertly engineered. Intricately designed. Hand-crafted. This Custom SG has been made to the most exacting standards in the entire guitar manufacturing universe. So you can definitely be sure that it's built to last. Using only the best quality materials and production methods, you can have peace of mind that you've got a top-calibre, durable instrument that'll be performing at its best for decades to come. This is a guitar for life.

Extra safety from a Gibson hardshell case

If we haven't already made it clear enough to you, this really is a once-in-a-lifetime type of guitar. The kind of instrument that'll only become more valuable and more alluring as it ages. So it's worth protecting. Fortunately, Gibson have included a durable hardshell case at no extra cost, so your guitar will be safe from bumps and scrapes. Tough and long-lasting, this case will ensure your SG is ready and waiting for you - always in mint condition.
