Gibson Custom SG Custom Quilt Blue Abyss

Gibson Custom SG Custom Quilt Blue Abyss
Serial Number: CS601676
Weight: 7.18 lbs.

The Gibson Custom SG Custom Quilt in Blue Abyss (Serial #CS601676) takes Gibson’s flagship SG and adds some tasteful bespoke upgrades. A 3A quilted maple top sits on a 1-piece mahogany body. Strong quilt figure shows up in only a small share of maple logs, and a 1-piece body needs a single wide, clean mahogany board instead of two glued halves. The Blue Abyss stain gives the quilt a deep, rippling look under gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The headstock matches, with a quilted maple face stained Blue Abyss, mother of pearl split-diamond and Gibson logo inlays, and white binding. Gold hardware finishes the look, and the guitar weighs a comfortable 7.18 lb.

The mahogany neck has an SG Custom carve (.860" at the 1st fret, .975" at the 12th fret). It’s a full, rounded profile that fills the hand without feeling clubby. A long tenon set-neck joint gives the neck more contact with the body, which helps sustain and resonance. The ebony fretboard has mother of pearl block inlays, white binding, and a 12" radius. It carries 22 medium jumbo frets on Gibson’s 24.75" scale, with a 1 11/16" Corian nut. A Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor the strings, and Grover Rotomatic tuners keep it in tune, all in gold.

The pickup pairing sets this SG apart. The neck has a P90 Alnico 5 soapbar, and the bridge has a Custombucker Alnico III humbucker. Both are unpotted, like vintage Gibson pickups, so they respond openly to pick attack and volume knob changes. The P90 delivers thick, snarling cleans and gritty crunch. The Alnico III Custombucker is warm and sweet in the bridge, with clear note definition under drive. The middle position blends both for a bright, hollow tone that a standard humbucker SG can’t match. Controls are 2 volumes, 2 tones, and a 3-way toggle. Whether you’re a blues player who leans on the volume knob, a classic rock player who wants P90 bite and humbucker push in one guitar, or a collector looking for a figured-top Custom Shop SG, this one is worth a close look. This SG Custom Quilt (Serial #CS601676) ships with a hardshell case. Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Gibson dealer.
