The iconic double-cutaway shape gives easy access all the way up to the 22nd fret, so those big bends and high-register solos feel completely natural. The 628.65 mm (approx. 24.75\") scale length, combined with the laurel fingerboard and dot inlays, gives a slinky, smooth feel that suits everything from bluesy bends to fast metal runs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMahogany Construction and Comfortable Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SG Tribute features a \u003cstrong\u003emahogany body\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003emahogany 60s SlimTaper, rounded C neck\u003c\/strong\u003e, a profile that’s slim enough for fast lead work but still has enough shoulder for comfortable chord playing. The laurel fingerboard adds a warm, balanced response under the fingers, while the 22 frets give you plenty of range for modern playing styles.
