CME recently learned our special production run of Gibson USA SG Standard basses in Olive Drab and Pelham Blue were incorrectly built by Gibson without fingerboard binding. Some customers received instruments before we caught this error. We appreciate those that notified us right away and we greatly apologize for any trouble this may have caused. Anyone who purchased a bass while our advertisement described fingerboard binding is being contacted as quickly as possible.
Known for its double cutaway, the SG is the best-selling Gibson of all time, digging its horns deep into a wide variety of musicians since evolving out of the famed Les Paul in 1961. It continues to be a near-ubiquitous fixture of blues, rock, and popular music to this day, and now more so than ever with the Gibson USA Standard Bass. The SG Standard Bass features a solid mahogany body and neck with rounded profile, one-piece rosewood fingerboard, 30.5” scale length, Rhythm and Lead SG Bass pickups, and three-point adjustable bridge all for low end so low it’s downright devilish.
