An SG Special true to the 60s DNA
Designed to recapture the aesthetics and responsiveness of early sixties SGs, this "Rock Royalty" honors the codes that shaped countless classic rock recordings: all-mahogany construction, thin carved top, cream binding on the fingerboard, and nitro finish for lively resonance. It stands as a stripped-down and efficient Special, ideal for those who want the SG sound without extras.Who is it for, and what styles?
Versatile yet decidedly rock, it targets motivated beginner to intermediate/advanced guitarists seeking a responsive instrument. The P-90s excel in blues-rock, classic rock, garage, indie, punk, and soul. The SlimTaper profile favors fast phrasing, while the double cutaway allows easy access to the upper frets.The sound
The P-90s deliver a meaty midrange with a slightly gritty grain. In bridge position, the attack is sharp, perfect for riffs; in neck position, the tone is full and woody; in the middle position, you get an articulated twang. The hand-wired circuitry with Orange Drop capacitors ensures a smooth and musical tone sweep. The mahogany body/neck combination, glued joint, and compensated wraparound bridge provide sustain and immediate response, while the rosewood fingerboard subtly rounds off the highs. The thinner nitro finish lets the guitar "breathe" and enhances projection.Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the original balance and feel, choose a set of nickel strings 10-46, a sturdy strap (both strap buttons are present), and a good quality 1/4" instrument cable. With the included hard case, you can travel with peace of mind right out of the box.Technical specifications
