2000 Gibson SG-Z

Solid mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, two Z-bass pickups. 34 1/2 inch scale.

The SG-Z was only available for a brief time between 1998-2002. Its SG shape being more reminiscent of the 60s rather than 70s EB series basses. In fact it was originally named the EB-Z as this Gibson Press Release from 1998 confirms. The Z-bass pickups have two volume and one tone controls with two series/parallel coil tap switches, which give a huge range of sounds.

For more details of the actual wiring, please see the Wiring diagrams.

The SG-Z departs from the 60s archetype by having a 34 1/2 inch scale, rather than 30 1/2. The pickups are Gibsons own Z-bass soapbar pickups - each having a three-way selector humbucker (series), humbucker (parallel) and single coil (split coil). Obviously the positioning of the pickups has changed to, with both being positioned near the bridge giving a much brighter tone than was ever possible with its 60s and 70s predecessors.

This is how it was advertized in the 2001 Gibson catalogue.
