We love a good SG here at TG, especially if it’s equipped with Gibson’s new Min-ETune system. Now, you can automatically tune your guitar without the need for a tuner, while alternate tunings are just a button press away – handy!

Luckily, we’ve got one of these mechanical marvels in for a test of new tuning technologies, so we thought we’d share some unboxing shots to whet your appetites – tuck in!

24 frets isn’t an especially 60s spec, but those horny cutaways make for easy upper-fret access
