The 1968 Gibson SG features a thin, lightweight body with sharp cutaways and dual humbucking pickups producing thick, dark tones. Its fast playability and aggressive aesthetic made it a rock staple from its 1961 introduction through today. Vintage examples are highly valued for their punchy midrange and singing sustain.
The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Goldtop pairs the Traditional's vintage-leaning build — nine-hole weight relief, fat neck, '57 Classic humbuckers — with the gold finish Gibson used on the original 1952 Les Paul before sunburst arrived. The opaque gold hides a plain maple cap, which is why the finish was historically applied to tops that would not have shown figure.
