Overview

An amazing deal on a rock-and-roll icon.

Paralleling its evolution from the original Les Paul, the SG Standard HP has evolved from the traditional SG Standard to the embodiment of modernity and performance. It boasts an astounding set of premium, high-performance features, including a new and exclusive fast-access heel, developed specifically for the Gibson USA High Performance lineup, to allow unprecedented access to the high notes - which combined with our new soloist neck width, provides the fastest and most comfortable SG neck you’ve ever played. Titanium metal for the saddles and the adjustable zero-fret nut delivers a right, crisp tone, while being virtually indestructible and ensuring total, personalized control over the action. A pair of 490R and 498T humbuckers delivers rocking tones, while genuine mother of pearl inlays add a touch of traditional luxury to this premium-quality guitar.
