Hello guys,

This is a 2015 SG Standard, like 2013 and 2014 Std it' s build like a '61 RI, I like the neck profile, very close to a slim taper, Finish is trans ebony.

This SG is a very good instrument, with the new KLUSON tuners the guitar is very well balanced.


•KLUSON Revolution tuners (GForce removed)

•Les Paul Historic trussrod cover

•GraphTech TUSQXL adjustable nut

•Custom Les Paul tenon cover

•5 ply 60° bevel Custom pickguard

•Wizz M-69 humbucker rings

•Historic Switchcraft tip, heavy knurled Switchcraft nut

•Gibson ABR-1 Bridge, with black adapters

•Vintage repro knobs (smooth top)

KLUSON Revolution tuners are fantastic, smooth tuning and very good precision.

Light weight is perfect for the SG, the guitar is very well balanced.

The trans ebony finish is spectacular.

Is that a stock finish? :hmm

I don't recall that being offered on anything but a few SG Classics.

Yes, translucent ebony was stock in 2015, inlays are not plastic, real mother of pearl.

2014 walnut SG Standard was a great finish too

Détails of the Nashville/ABR bridge conversion with black brushings, the bridge is a genuine Gibson ABR-1.

The assembly is very discreet, very clean.

The 2015 neck profile is very comfortable, wider slim taper neck, awesome.
