Plus, boasting an 40:01 gear ratio, the G-FORCE system guarantees that your tuning will remain consistent throughout the most energetic of performances.

At the top of the neck is a titanium zero-fret adjustable nut, which provides exceptional sustain and durability with complete action control to suit your playing style. Fitted to the body is the aluminium Tune-o-Matic bridge with titanium saddles and locking thumbwheels, which works closely with the chrome-plated aluminium stopbar tailpiece with locking studs. The bridge/tailpiece partnership works dutifully to optimise intonation and sustain, giving you the ultimate setup to ensure your SG is ready for the stage.
