Gibson's 2017 SG Standard Traditional: A Rock Icon Reborn

Since its introduction in 1961, the Gibson SG Standard has been turning heads with its radical dual-horned design and resonant tone. Gibson continues this tradition with the Gibson 2017 SG Standard Traditional electric guitar. The 2017 SG Standard T is a modern tribute that pays homage to the traditional stylings which made this guitar a hit for virtually every style of rock musician since it was first discovered by British rock bands in the 1960s. With a classic offset double-cutaway body, dual Gibson '57 Classic humbucking pickups, and slim taper mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, this is how a Gibson SG Standard should look, sound, and feel.

Traditional Hardware

From the Tune-o-matic bridge to the Grover kidney-button-style locking tuning machines and everything in between, this 2017 take on the classic SG Standard has all the traditional hardware it should. Sporting Gibson '57 Classic PAF-style humbucking pickups with a period-accurate '60s-style teardrop pickguard, the 2017 reissue looks and sounds like the real thing.

High-tech Craftsmanship

While the 2017 SG Standard T benefits from many vintage design features, one aspect of its craftsmanship is particularly high-tech. Since 2014, Gibson USA has been using "Pleking" on all their guitars, a process by which all the frets on the neck are fine-tuned using 3D modeling and high-precision computer-controlled fret grinding. After the Plek setup, each neck is polished by hand. It all adds up to what Gibson considers the most accurate and playable neck possible.
