{"product_id":"gibson-sg-special-ebony","title":"Gibson SG Special Ebony","description":"The SG Special is an electric guitar that has been part of Gibson's selection of electric guitars for over six decades and continues to attract attention with its body shape and tone. The SG Special was launched in 1961 and became an important instrument for legends such as Pete Townshend, Angus Young, Frank Zappa, and Tony Iommi. Its fine balance and excellent playability continue to make it an attractive choice for new generations of guitarists who fall for the old classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SG Special has a mahogany body with a SlimTaper neck profile and a rosewood fretboard; these time-tested and widely used tonewoods produce a resonant tone that many will recognize. Two soapbar P-90 pickups provide the SG Special with a bright and defined single-coil tone. The P-90 offers a unique sound that differs from—and complements—humbuckers and single-coils. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90, can be heard on countless classic recordings. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. It is an astonishingly versatile pickup with its very own tone—a little brighter, leaner, and less refined than a humbucker, and almost as warm. If you use a good high-gain tube amplifier, you can achieve a searing and aggressive sound that would be impossible to obtain with humbuckers—or with other types of single-coil pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is made of mahogany and shaped with the fast SlimTaper neck profile, which feels comfortable and, for many, familiar. The fretboard is made of rosewood, and the 22 frets have undergone PLEK treatment to optimize playability. PLEK treatment is typically reserved for the most expensive electric guitars, meaning that each individual fret is computer-analyzed and height-adjusted, resulting in an incredibly playable fretboard with smooth and uniform fret edges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SG Special's beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer finish is significantly thinner than modern polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to \"breathe\". Nitro finishes not only look fantastic, they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752226677074,"sku":"GIBS-SGSP00EBCH1","price":12199.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9256\/6610\/files\/front-banner-1600_900.jpg?v=1781507527","url":"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/en\/products\/gibson-sg-special-ebony","provider":"Akustikken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
