From Gibson: “Introduced in the early 1960s, the Gibson SG™ Special was conceived as a model that would sit between the entry-level SG Junior and the SG Standard, with some of the stripped-down, budget-friendly attributes of the Junior coupled with a bit more of the versatility and bling you get with the now-iconic SG Standard. Despite its more minimalistic approach, it quickly became associated with some of rock’s most memorable riffs and performances.

The SG Special comes equipped with a pair of Soapbar P-90 pickups, renowned for their snarly mids and superb dynamic response. Dial back your volume for chiming cleans or crank it up for overdriven textures that retain clarity and definition.
