The SG, in detail.
A double-cut travel guitar with a roasted-maple bolt-on neck and a powerful humbucker. The body is milled from a single, hand-selected ash board; the bridge is carved from American walnut. Pickups are professionally hand-wound for the wood, shape and weight of your guitar, and a three-way switch splits and combines the coils. Aged-brass hardware, CNC-machined in our workshop, holds tuning and makes string changes easier than on a regular guitar.
