Finished in gloss Walnut nitro lacquer, this SG features traditional solid mahogany construction with a bound rosewood fingerboard, loaded with the original pair of \"Tarback\" humbuckers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe “Tarbacks” (branded by Gibson as “Super Humbucking” pickups) were designed by famed pickup guru Bill Lawrence, and these humbuckers have a different magnet structure and fewer winds than the T Tops produced in the same era. Coupled with the black epoxy that gives these humbuckers their name and ensures great feedback rejection by suppressing microphonics, the Tarbacks are a lively, sparkling pickup pair, perfect for pairing with the SG's mahogany construction. The bridge pickup has a surprising twang and clarity, yet with a smooth top end, while the middle and neck positions have plenty of warmth and girthy bass response. This SG Standard weighs 8lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Slender C, measuring .790” 1st fret, .965” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, small block inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, light wear on frets 1-10\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Grover Rotomatics\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: 00-prefix (re-stamped) dates to 1976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: “Tarback” pickup x2\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CTS pots date to the 42nd week of ‘75\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Harmonica bridge, stopbar, strap buttons (replaced vintage buttons)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, black speed knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis SG has a very old, minor U-shaped headstock repair below the volute, with black overspray across the repair and back of the headstock that blacklights consistent with the original finish.
