Gibson SG Standard T 2017 - Cherry Burst

There’s something timeless about a great SG, and this 2017 Gibson SG Standard T absolutely nails it. The Cherry Burst finish is rich, deep, and beautifully translucent—one of those colors that looks classy under studio lights and downright fiery on stage. It’s the kind of guitar you pull out of the case and immediately want to plug in.

Condition-wise, this one is very close to new. Beyond a couple of light scratches on the pickguard, it’s exceptionally clean. No dings, no rash, no surprises—just a well-kept SG that’s clearly been cared for. It’s been professionally set up, plays effortlessly, and rings out with that unmistakable SG snap and sustain.

Tonally, this model hits the sweet spot between vintage bite and modern clarity. The Gibson 490R (neck) and 490T (bridge) humbuckers deliver everything from warm, vocal cleans to aggressive, mid-forward crunch. Roll back the volume and it cleans up beautifully; dig in and it growls exactly the way an SG should.

The Slim Taper neck profile is fast and comfortable without feeling overly thin, paired with a bound rosewood fretboard and classic trapezoid inlays. The lightweight mahogany body keeps it resonant and easy on the shoulder—perfect for long sessions or live gigs.

This one comes complete with the original Gibson hardshell case and all original case candy, making it a killer find for a player or collector looking for a clean, honest example of a modern SG Standard.
