The SG Standard, now powered by P-90 pickups
The Gibson SG™ has been a guitarist’s favorite since its introduction in 1961 as an updated, restyled version of the Les Paul™ model. Its name was changed to SG in 1963, and since then, it has become the most popular Gibson solidbody design. The SG has been embraced by countless guitarists, from weekend warriors to world-famous guitar icons.
Now, Gibson is proud to introduce a new version of the legendary SG Standard—the SG Standard P-90. This version includes many of the features and styling of the popular SG models from the late-60s era, but substitutes P-90 pickups instead of the standard humbuckers™.
The SG Standard P-90 starts with the instantly identifiable sculpted, double-cutaway mahogany body, one of the features that makes this model so comfortable to hold and play. The double-cutaway design ensures unfettered access to the entire length of the mahogany neck. The neck features a comfortable Rounded profile that provides a satisfyingly full feeling in the hand without being too large or clubby. It is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard, equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, and adorned with acrylic trapezoid inlays.
At the headstock, you’ll find the Gibson logo inlaid in mother of pearl, while a set of high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with kidney buttons work in tandem with a Graph Tech® nut to ensure reliable, stable tuning. A two-ply, bell-shaped truss rod cover, engraved “SG,” completes the headstock.
The SG Standard P-90 features a 5-ply, full-face pickguard. Popularly referred to as a “batwing” pickguard, this SG pickguard style is popular with many players. Mounted to the pickguard are a pair of P-90 Soapbar pickups that deliver everything from bright, sweet, clean tones to an outright sonic assault with just the twist of a knob. From smooth jazz to jangly pop, hard rock to metal, the SG Standard P-90 can do it all. Each pickup is paired with individual volume and tone controls that feature audio taper potentiometers and capped with black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors. A three-way pickup selector rounds out the controls and lets you select either pickup or use both together in any ratio you prefer.
The SG Standard P-90 is finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and is available exclusively online at Gibson.com and at the Gibson Garage locations. The SG Standard P-90 comes packed in a lightweight yet protective soft shell case, so it is ready for wherever the road and your music take you.
