Gibson SG Special Faded Worn Cherry inc Gigbag
The Gibson SG was first unleashed on the public back in the 1960’s and at the time was popular with many rock guitar players including Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend and George Harrison.
The SG Special Faded has a slim line double cut-away Mahogany body and set-neck and uses a rosewood fret board with inlaid dot position markers, the bridge is the standard Gibson tune-o-matic model complete with stop bar tailpiece both of which are chrome plated.
The pick-ups are open coil series 490’s with a 490R at the neck position and a 490T located by the bridge. Additional electronics are a single tone and volume control along with a 3 way pick-up selector switch adjacent.
The Gibson SG is easily identifiable by the now iconic plastic batwing scratch plate that the pick-ups are set into, the headstock has 2 sets of 3 Kluson machine heads – one on each side, along with a gold embossed Gibson logo,
The finish on the guitar has been artificially faded and aged to emulate several years of loving use whilst the guitar comes complete with a padded Gibson gig-bag.
