Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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 Washburn P4 is a solid mahogany body double cutaway with carved and bound maple top, 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck, bound 22-fret ebony fingerboard, TonePros tune-o-matic bridge, Schaller fine tuning tailpiece, and Grover 18:1 tuners. The guitar features the Buzz Feiten Tuning System for accurate intonation across the fretboard and is equipped with two Seymour Duncan 59 pickups controlled by 1 volume, 1 tone knob, and 3-way toggle switch. The tone is thick and meaty, ideal for blues, jazz, and classic rock. Available in Tiffany Blue and Silver Sparkle finishes.
