With the Gibson SG 12-String Neck-Through Limited Vintage Sunburst, Gibson USA presents a unique interpretation of the legendary "Solid Guitar" with twelve strings and the Gibson Firebird-inspired, continuous neck with an inspiring, independent sound. Accordingly, it is made of nine stripes of mahogany and walnut laminated separation veneers, while its fretboard is made of rosewood. The neck has the particularly thin "Firebird" profile so that even complex chords can be mastered effortlessly on the wider fretboard.


Harmonious 12-string sound. A Gibson Burstbucker 1 at the neck and a Gibson Burstbucker 2 at the bridge are used as pickups on the Gibson SG 12-String Neck-Through. These classic humbuckers have an authentic vintage sound that does not deny its origins from the legendary PAFs of the golden era of guitar making. The familiar circuit with a 3-way toggle switch as well as individual volume and tone controls for each pickup can also be used to precisely adjust the sound character.


Specially designed 12-string hardware to meet the requirements of a 12-string guitar, completes the equipment of the Gibson SG 12-String Neck-Through Limited. The strings are guided from the classic Stopbar tailpiece over a Tune-O-Matic bridge, which ensures perfect intonation and string position for each pair of strings. At the headstock, the strings first run over a Tektoid nut, whose dense, self-lubricating material significantly increases tuning stability before they find a hold on the twelve Grover Mini Rotomatics.


Includes form-fit Classic Gibson 12-string Hardshell Case.
