2016 Gibson SG Naked (24 Frets/P90s) - $1,000 (Nashville)
QR Code Link to This Post
I just crowned/polished the frets and set it up how I like it, viz. top wrapped with 3.5 /64" action at the 12th fret on the 6th string and 3/64" on the 1st string. I also contact-cleaned the pickup switch, vol/tone pots and the output jack.
The nut width is small (see pic). It has a rounded neck (similar to Fender C). The overall feel of the neck is small. I have medium sized hands and I got used to it, and when you do, this is a little shredder; no other guitar provides upper fret access like an SG. But, if you are a lumberjack with meat hooks for hands, you probably won't get along with this narrow neck.
It weighs 7 lbs. and has no neck dive. The neck joints are clean. See pics for pickup outputs. Bridge p/u position is down, up for neck for those not used to Gibsons.
Boy, I sure do like Grover tuners...they work well and feel right. There is nothing special that Gibson has to do to add two more frets to an SG ( you can't without altering the scale, etc. on a Les Paul), but yet, they don't. It's nice having them, and on this guitar you don't notice they're there...until you start running up there and remember "oh yeah!"
The previous owner put some small dents at the output jack and on the top bout, a la the pics with chopsticks pointing them out.
I have never left my property with this guitar and I take care of my instruments. It is always stored in its gig bag in a controlled environment. Comes with said bag and the case candy.
I bought this for my 50th birthday during Covid since I couldn't go to Norway, but, daggummit, I gotta let 'er go.
