Product overview

About this model

With its deep blacked-out aesthetic and late-'60s-inspired design, this SG has all the snarling attitude and tonal power you'd expect—refined with a sleek, modern look. Crafted with a solid mahogany body and long-tenon neck joint, it offers exceptional resonance and sustain. An ebony fingerboard with black trapezoid inlays provides a smooth playing surface, while 490R and 490T Alnico II pickups channel vintage warmth with modern clarity. From its aggressive visuals to its tried-and-true tonal core, this limited-run SG is built for players who want classic Gibson performance with a bold, distinctive edge. It's a stage-ready workhorse with undeniable presence and personality. Mahogany Body for Classic SG Resonance and Punch At the heart of the SG Standard Dark is a solid mahogany body, delivering the iconic tonal balance this model is known for—rich mids, singing highs and tight lows. The SG's double-cutaway shape doesn't just serve looks—it offers unmatched upper-fret access, perfect for expressive lead work. The tonewood's natural warmth and clarity come through beautifully whether you're plugged into a cranked tube amp or tracking in the studio. Its long-tenon construction extends deep into the body, joining at the 19th fret for enhanced sustain and structural integrity. The 24.75" scale length keeps string tension relaxed, while the smooth ebony fingerboard adds brightness and snap to the tonal equation. With 22 frets and a fast-playing feel, it's an ideal neck for everything from riff-driven rock to articulate soloing. A black Graph Tech nut improves tuning stability and matches the guitar's stealth-inspired aesthetic for a cohesive, refined finish. 490R and 490T Pickups for Hot-Rodded Vintage Tone Loaded with Gibson 490R and 490T Alnico II humbuckers, this SG Standard Dark delivers a versatile voice rooted in vintage PAF character but tweaked for a bit more bite. The 490R neck pickup offers smooth, warm lows and a vocal midrange—perfect for chords and expressive lead tones. Switch to the 490T in the bridge, and you'll find a punchy, cutting voice that handles gain with ease. Whether you're chasing bluesy cleans, gritty overdrive or searing distortion, this pickup set brings dynamic range and clarity. Individual volume and tone knobs, plus a 3-way switch give you full control of your sound. From the black chrome-plated Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece to the Grover Rotomatic tuners with matching kidney buttons, every piece of hardware contributes to the guitar's aggressive aesthetic. The black top hat knobs echo classic styling while aligning with the overall look. The bound ebony fingerboard features sleek black trapezoid inlays that glow subtly under stage lights. It's a dark, dramatic twist on a timeless design—bold without being flashy, and ready to stand out in any setting. Classic SG Performance With Sleek Modern Styling This special SG Standard Dark electric guitar is an ideal choice for players seeking a bold look and exceptional playability. Its lightweight mahogany body and iconic contours ensure comfort during long performances, while the ebony fingerboard and rounded neck profile provide effortless playability. With its high-output pickups and premium hardware, this guitar is built to handle the demands of both stage and studio. It's a refined take on a rock 'n' roll legend, perfect for guitarists who want tradition and boldness in equal measure.
