Gibson Custom Shop SG Elegant Quilt Top Iguanaburst
Item: GBSGELEGQIGBGH1
Today, the SG stands as one of the most popular and best-selling of all Gibson guitars. The SG Elegant Quilt Top from Gibson Custom, however, takes the popular model one step further while still maintaining the essence of the most inspired guitar design of the past century. Like Gibson’s iconic Les Paul Standard, the SG Elegant’s mahogany body is fitted with a maple top … though not just any maple top. It is given a high-grade maple cap selected exclusively by the gifted craftsmen of Gibson Custom for its beautiful wood grain pattern.

The SG Elegant is completed sans the SG’s traditional pickguard, simply to allow anyone the chance to behold the natural beauty of its top. The guitar is adorned with the usual appointments, including an ABR-1 bridge with stopbar and tailpiece in gold finish, single-ply crème binding on the neck, vintage tulip tuners, and magnificent abalone trapezoid inlays along the fretboard. The pickups are a pair of Gibson’s ’57 Classic humbuckers, with Alnico II magnets and balanced coils to deliver unmistakable vintage tone.
