Full Description

Legendary SG design with a custom touch

The Gibson Custom SG Custom 2 Pickup is a stunning evolution of one of rock’s most iconic guitars. Taking inspiration from the Les Paul Custom, it combines the bold, aggressive look of the SG with the refined elegance of multi-ply binding and gold hardware. The double-cutaway body offers effortless upper-fret access, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances resonance and sustain. This fusion of heritage and high-end craftsmanship makes it a standout instrument for those who appreciate both style and performance.

Premium tonewoods for exceptional sound

Built from solid mahogany, the SG Custom produces the rich, warm tones that have defined countless legendary recordings. Its lightweight design ensures excellent resonance, while the long tenon neck joint enhances sustain and stability. The ebony fingerboard adds crisp articulation and smooth playability, making every note ring with clarity. Strumming lush chords or delivering searing solos, this guitar responds with depth and definition that set it apart from the rest.

Versatile pickups for any style

Equipped with a 490R humbucker in the neck and a 498T in the bridge, the SG Custom is built for sonic versatility. The 490R delivers warm, vintage-voiced tones perfect for jazz, blues, and classic rock, while the 498T adds extra punch and output for searing leads and high-gain riffs. With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can shape your sound with precision, moving effortlessly between smooth cleans, dynamic crunch, and thick, powerful distortion.

Fast, comfortable playability

The 60s SlimTaper neck profile makes this SG a joy to play, offering a sleek, comfortable feel that encourages fast movement across the fretboard. Medium-jumbo frets provide a perfect balance of easy bending and solid intonation, while the 12” fingerboard radius ensures effortless chording and fluid lead work. On stage or in the studio, this neck profile is designed to keep up with the most demanding performances.

High-end hardware for rock-solid reliability

Gold-plated hardware not only adds a striking visual element but also ensures long-lasting performance. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while Grover kidney tuners make precise adjustments easy. With a Switchcraft three-way selector switch and premium CTS potentiometers, every component is built for reliability, allowing you to focus on your playing without distraction. This is a guitar designed to deliver excellence in every detail.
