Gibson SG Guitars

 
A radical Gibson SG model that lives up to its name in every
way!

The word zoot is jazz slang meaning extravagant
style—certainly an apt description for the Gibson USA SG Zoot Suit
electric guitar. The radical design starts with a body built with
multiple birch wood laminate pieces (each one approximately .075"
thick), each dyed with a different color then compressed and bonded
together to form one solid block of wood. No paint is used. Each body is
given two coats of satin nitrocellulose lacquer. The average weight of a
Zoot Suit body is 5.7 lb., which is slightly heavier than normal but
actually creates more balance, a solid feel, and brighter tones that
prove compatible with the pickup configuration.

The Gibson SG guitar's solid body yields maximum sustain and enhanced
resonance. Gibson's traditional rounded profile is hand-carved into the
neck, delivering a comfortable, super-fast feel to one of the quickest
necks in the industry. The headstock is carefully angled at 17 degrees,
which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut
slots. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of
string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better
sustain.

Ceramic humbuckers

The Zoot SG is loaded with Gibson's eminent 496R Hot Ceramic and 500T
Super Ceramic humbucking pickups, which feature clear coil forms and
mounting rings to display the copper wire and ceramic magnets. The
magnets in both the 496R and 500T pickups are Ceramic Five magnets
manufactured at just the right temperature to ensure high intrinsic
coercive force. The 496R produces incredible sustain and cutting power,
adding more highs with increased definition and no muddiness at all. The
500T is one of Gibson's most powerful pickups, and contains a three
ceramic magnet structure, which enables a no-holds-barred rock and roll
crunch that never loses its rich combination of enhanced lows and
crystal clear highs.

I bought this for my son for christmas and he desided he wanted a different guitar with a whammy bar so its only been played a few times max. Looks and plays perfectly we just don't need it now that he's playing what he wanted. New this guitar list for $1999 and I paid $1200 for it. Sounds great as all gibson's do. I searched the internet and there is no used guitars for sell like this so someone will get a steal on this.
