Detail 01
Compensated wraparound fixed bridge
It combines the fixed bridge design with compensated intonation adjustment.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around two P-90 pickups, the SG Special moves from a smooth clean response to a thicker, more aggressive overdriven voice. The three-way selector gives you neck, bridge, or combined-pickup settings, while separate volume and tone controls for each pickup provide hands-on adjustment. Its mahogany double-cutaway body, SlimTaper set neck, and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard keep the layout focused on direct electric-guitar work, with access to the upper register.
