However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Gibson Custom SG Custom 2-Pickup w/ Ebony Fingerboard Gloss is a remarkable guitar that showcases the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail that the Custom Shop is known for. This stunning instrument combines the power and versatility of the iconic Les Paul Custom with the sleek and ergonomic design of the SG platform, resulting in a truly unique playing experience.

From smooth jazz tones to heavy distortion, the SG can handle it all with ease.
Crafted with a solid mahogany body and ebony fingerboard, this Custom Shop model is infused with rich, warm tones, alongside an excellent sustain and resonance. The '60s SlimTaper neck shape is a favourite among many guitarists, as it offers a sleek and fast profile that allows for effortless movement between frets. The long tenon neck joint, a hallmark of Gibson's high-quality construction, provides enhanced stability and sustain, further contributing to the comfortable playability and exceptional tonal qualities. With its gold hardware, mother of pearl block inlays, and black multi-ply pickguard, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.

At the heart of this model lies a pair of powerful humbucking pickups – the 490R in the neck position and the 498T at the bridge. These electronics are designed to deliver a wide range of tonal options, from warm, articulate clean voicings to roaring, high-gain sounds. The 490R utilises an Alnico II magnet for a smooth, vintage-inspired tone, while the 498T is designed with an Alnico V magnet for increased output and punch. Together, these provide a versatile sonic landscape that can cater to any playing style or genre.
For those craving more versatility, the Custom SG includes two individual volume and two tone controls, allowing you to tailor the sound of each pickup to your liking. And with the 3-way switch, you can select either the neck or bridge humbucker, or a combination of both for added tonal flexibility. With its high-quality pickups and versatile electronic configuration, the Gibson Custom SG is an exceptional instrument that will satisfy even the most discerning guitarist.
Craftsmanship is a key aspect of the Gibson SG, reflecting the expertise and dedication of the luthiers at the Custom Shop. Every detail, from the selection of high-quality tonewoods to the precise construction methods, is meticulously executed to ensure the highest level of quality and performance. The solid mahogany body and neck, along with its ebony fingerboard, not only contribute to its rich and resonant tone but also showcase the fine woodworking skills of the Gibson designers. The gold hardware, mother of pearl block inlays, and black multi-ply pickguard further demonstrate the attention to detail that goes into creating this exceptional instrument.
The result of this is a playability that is one of the best on the market. The ergonomic SG shape, combined with its '60s SlimTaper neck profile and long tenon neck joint, provide a comfortable playing experience that facilitates smooth transitions between chords and effortless access to higher frets. The 12" fingerboard radius and twenty-two medium jumbo frets allow for easy bending and precise articulation, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover kidney tuning machines ensure excellent tuning stability. The SG is a joy to play and a worthy addition to any guitar collection.
The Gibson SG, originally introduced in 1961 as the "Les Paul/SG," has a rich and storied history that has cemented its place as one of the most iconic electric guitars in the world. Initially designed as a more lightweight and contoured alternative to the traditional Les Paul, the SG, which stands for "Solid Guitar", quickly gained popularity among guitarists for its distinctive double-horned body shape, exceptional playability, and powerful sound.
Over the years, the SG has been embraced by countless legendary musicians, including Eric Clapton, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and Frank Zappa, who have all contributed to the guitar's enduring legacy. The SG underwent several design changes throughout the 1960s and 1970s, including variations in neck profiles, pickup configurations, and hardware options. Today, the Gibson SG continues to be a favourite among players of all genres and styles, thanks to its timeless design, versatile tonal capabilities, and undeniable stage presence.
