Out Of Stock

Up for sale, a 2016 Gibson SG Supreme Limited Edition in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This premium iteration of the SG platform boasts features including a carved AAA flame maple top with a gloss custom color Ocean Blue nitro lacquer finish, Burstbucker Pro PAF pickups, and Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners.

Tonewoods include a mahogany body, bookmatched and carved AAA flame maple top, mahogany neck, and Richlite fingerboard, weighing 7lbs 15oz. The Burstbucker Pro pickups are a hot-rodded version of Gibson's Burstbucker PAF, with unmatched bobbin windings and Alnico V magnets (in place of the usual Alnico II). The sound is fat and meaty, interacting well with high gain amps and providing excellent feedback rejection while having a general tonal profile consistent with the PAF design. This SG Supreme has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Ocean Blue nitro lacquer finish highlights the notably uniform, wall-to-wall figuring in the AAA bookmatched flame maple top. Extremely well-kept for nearly a decade, there are just a few minor dings on the back, with no other cosmetic wear of note. The smooth nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original faux snakeskin hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags.
