Under its attractive faded finish, the Faded Special SG is still the traditional SG, with mahogany body and neck, Tune-O-Matic/stopbar bridge, and alnico 490 pickups. The guitarÃ?Â?s faded finish gives it the look of an electric that started its rockinÃ?Â? days in the Ã?Â?60s. Made in the USA, built in Nashville, TN. Comes with a deluxe Gibson Levis gig bag.SG History:In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that made the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist behind the original Les Paul did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the Ã?Â?SGÃ? which was short for Ã?Â?solid guitarÃ?Â. Today, the SG stands as one of Gibsons 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. Though Les PaulÃ?Â?s name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to the end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.Gibson Faded SG Special Electric Guitar Features:Solid Mahogany BodyChrome HardwareGibson Stop Bar TailpieceGibson Tune-O-Matic BridgeGrover Kluson Style Tuners with Green KeysNeck Pickup: 490R alnico magnet humbuckerBridge Pickup: 490T alnico magnet humbuckerControls: 2 Volume - 2 Tone - 3-Way ToggleBlack … Click For More Info
