This 1996 Gibson SG Special in Ebony is a stripped-down, high-performance rock machine that strips away the flashy bindings of the Standard model while keeping the legendary SG soul beautifully intact. Featuring the iconic double-cutaway solid mahogany body, this mid-90s gem delivers a resonant, lightweight playing experience with exceptional upper-fret access. Its dark, sleek ebony finish beautifully contrasts with a set of professionally installed 2022 Gibson 490R and 490T Alnico humbuckers, which pump out a aggressive midrange punch, singing sustain, and the signature bite that defined generations of rock and blues history. Equipped with a fast, comfortable rounded mahogany neck, a smooth rosewood fingerboard, and reliable dot inlays, this specific iteration from Gibson's highly regarded 1990s production era remains a sought-after workhorse prized for its raw tone, minimalist aesthetic, and stage-ready durability.
