Gibson: SG Standard (4)

Showing you Gibson's inner self, so to speak. This one's my Gibson SG with the pickguard removed. The true worth of good production is the hidden parts. If the manufacturer is serious about QC, the covered parts shouldn't be 2nd rated & with Gibson- plain to see here- it's all good.

Moving on to the control cavity, we see an equal measure of neatness. Perhaps we can be critical about the surface presentation; why didn't Gibson level it, make it smooth to the touch? If the body surface receives stellar treatment, shouldn't those parts be treated equally? You'd see Japanese manufacturers giving more attention to such situations with the higher tier models & this is the reason why, at a certain point in time, the industry looked east to understand the standard. But Gibson did fine here.
