Gibson SG Special Faded Worn Brown
The Gibson SG Special has always represented a combination of looks, functionality, and value, and the new Gibson Faded SG Special Electric Guitar maintains this tradition. Under its attractive Worn Brown faded finish, it is the traditional SG, with a Mahogany body and neck, a tune-o-matic/stopbar bridge, and Alnico 490 twin humbucker pickups.
The faded finish gives it the look of an electric that started its rockin' days in the '60s when it was due to be endorsed by Les Paul himself, however Les Paul didn't take to the SG and didn't wish to endorse the instrument.
