Among the more unique and radical SG redesigns Gibson ever released, the SG ‘90 was a forward-thinking model only produced from ‘88-’90, featuring an SH pickup complement with coil splittable bridge humbucker, longer 25 1\/2“ scale length, 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and pearloid pickguard. This particular SG ‘90 Double was ordered by Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano; Gibson’s USA-made guitars distributed via Yamano are often considered to be among their absolute best, featuring the highest quality woods picked for Gibson’s discerning Japanese audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTonewoods include a select mahogany body, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard, and this SG ‘90 Double is featherweight at 6lbs 9oz. The bridge pickup is a Bill Lawrence-designed L-8 Super Humbucker, known colloquially as Gibson's \"circuit board\" pickup. This short-lived medium output humbucker handles gain extremely well, delivering a detailed array of tones with a palette broadened via the push\/push coil split at the Volume knob. The neck position single coil has been replaced, delivering Strat-style smooth, airy neck position tones, pairing well with the humbucker for a “best of both worlds” sound. This SG ‘90 Double has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Honduran mahogany (quartersawn, graphite-reinforced)\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Slender C, measuring .820” 1st fret, .870” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Ebony, 24-fret, split-diamond inlays\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 25 ½”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Grover Rotomatics\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Eight-digit stamp dates to ‘89\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Select mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: Bill Lawrence L-8 “Super Humbucker,” vintage-style single coil (replacement)\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume (push\/push coil split), Tone, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: CTS pot (date obscured by solder)\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Nashville bridge with “body anchor” (string-through ferrules)\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: Black speed knobs, pearloid pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Heritage Cherry nitro lacquer finish is dark and rich, exhibiting subtle checking on top, and cosmetic wear is limited to a cluster of dings on the lower bout perimeter adjacent to the output jack and just a few smaller nicks on the back.
