Limited Run of a Historic Guitar
Here's your chance to own a piece of rock guitar history - the Gibson 50th Anniversary 12-string SG. Gibson unleashed the first SG in 1961 as a temporary replacement for the Les Paul model. The inconic SG soon took on a life of its own and earned a place of its own in Gibson's lineup. Virtuosos like Angus Young from AC/DC, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, and Robby Krieger from The Doors cemented the SG's place in rock guitar history. And now you can become part of the legacy with this 12-string anniversary limited edition! Only 300 of the Gibson 50th Anniversary 12-string SGs are being made, and Sweetwater has been able to secure a handful of these sweet guitars. Whether you're a collector or regular player, you'll love the classic look and unique tone of this guitar. Don't miss your chance to rock out with a 12-string - grab a Gibson 50th Anniversary 12-string SG while they last!

The Gibson 50th Anniversary 12-string SG gives you exactly what you've come to expect from an SG - a gorgeous mahogany body, finished in heritage cherry. You get the richness and sustain that only mahogany can provide, and style that has lasted decade after decade.
Historically Accurate FeelGibson's 50th Anniversary 12-string SG sports a rock-solid maple neck with a profile that's true to the SG lineage. Maple has the extra rigidity to handle the tension of 12 strings with ease. And the nut width is the same as a standard SG, so you'll get the easy playability of a six string SG with the shimmery tones of a 12-string.
Modern Classic HumbuckersGibson packed two Alnico magnet humbuckers into the 50th Anniversary 12-string SG. The 490R in the neck position is wound to the original PAF humbucker specs for a true-vintage vibe. The 498T in the bridge position pack some extra punch, and is slightly overwound for more vim and vigor. This pickup combination gives you the tonal variety you need to cover both rhythm and lead roles with the 50th Anniversary 12-string SG.
