Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Ebony, the right-handed Gibson SG Standard is a six-string, mahogany solidbody with a rounded mahogany neck and bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Its long-tenon set-neck construction joins the neck and body, while the double-cut shape gives access to the upper frets. A 490R neck humbucker and 490T bridge humbucker work through a three-way toggle, two volume controls, and two tone controls, letting players make changes from the guitar. The Tune-O-Matic and stopbar setup completes the instrument, with a softshell case included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage, rehearsal, or studio parts needing onboard changes between cleaner and more driven pickup settings.
- Chord-heavy rhythm work and lead parts that use the double-cut upper-fret access.
- Players who want separate volume and tone controls for the two humbucker pickups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, because this SG Standard is specified as right handed.
- Players requiring 24 frets, as this model has a 22-fret fingerboard.
