View larger Body and neck The SG Futura is crafted in the image of the original SG Standard, with an asymmetrical double-cutaway body for excellent upper-fret access. Its made from solid mahogany, with a glued-in maple neck sporting a slim 60s profile. The rosewood fingerboard is topped with a black TekToid nut to minimize friction, and carries 24 cryogenically treated frets for long life and corrosion resistance, with dot inlays and a commemorative 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret. Pickups and electronics The guitar carries a versatile pair of pickups, including a BurstBucker 3 in the bridge position and a P-90H Sidewinder Humbucker in the bridge position. These pickups are built with the power to rock, excelling in heavy crunch and wailing lead tones, yet they clean up beautifully for mellower moments, adapting themselves to your every need. Theyre wired through the traditional complement of independent volume and tone controls with a three-way selector switch, then add push/pull coil-split switching and an onboard 15 dB boost with mini-toggle switching. Hardware The SG Futura is stage-ready for the 21st century thanks to its factory-installed Min-ETune tuning system, which automatically retunes your guitar on demand in seconds, or calls up any one of 12 factory or 6 user presets at a simple strum of the strings. A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor it all down for outstanding resonance and sustain, while enlarged strap buttons (new for 2014) keep your guitar secure throughout the set. New Supreme Grip black speed knobs are joined by a black pickguard and black truss-rod cover. Protective case The SG Futura comes protected in a black hardshell case, includes a truss-rod wrench and owners manual. About Gibson USA Gibson USA continues the tradition of innovation, premium quality, and made-in-America hand-craftsmanship that started in 1894. Although their flagship Les Paul is the most iconic guitar in history, other innovative guitars and basses have become standards in their own rightlike the SG, Explorer, Flying V, and Firebird. Gibson instruments are truly American made, world played.
