Week 21 - SG-3 Fireburst


The SG-3 pushes the power, sustain, and tonal range of Gibson’s legendary SG into new sonic dimensions. Equipped with a revolutionary 6-way pickup switch and three white Blade Single Coil pickups—the SG-3 goes where no SG has gone before. Sporting Gibson’s exclusive rotary selector offers six pickup settings: bridge, bridge/middle, middle, middle/neck, neck, and bridge/neck. Combining unrivaled playability with an extraordinary spectrum of sweet, yet scorching humbucker tones, the SG-3 is the perfect guitar for rock, metal, and blues guitarists.
