Gibson SG Special Electric Guitar

The original Gibson SG shattered all perceptions of what a guitar should be when it was first introduced in 1961. Today, the SG stands as one of Gibson’s most popular and best-selling guitars. Its distinct twin cutaways, pointed horns, and beveled edges have made it one of the most inspired and iconic designs in the history of guitar making. The versatile Gibson SG Special and SG Special Faded offers the best combination of features and value in the SG line, with its streamlined, solid, and lightweight mahogany body, and traditional, 22-fret mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays, and ’50s rounded profile. Add a pair of Gibson’s uncovered 490R Alnico magnet pickups—packed with traditional humbucker tone and enhanced highs—and you’ve got yourself one affordable, powerhouse SG. The SG Special is available in Ebony and Wine Red, and the SG Special Faded is available Worn Brown and Worn Cherry finishes.
