GIBSON 08 USA Made SG Faded Electric Guitar-MINTY FRESH
Hi and thanks for clicking. This is a 2008 Gibson USA Made SG Faded electric guitar with original Gibson bag we just got on trade. This guitar is in above average used condition. The only things that keep it from being dead mint are minimal signs of use including pick swirls on the pickguard so insignificant the camera can’t pick it up. The look of a well-loved, gracefully aged instrument. The Gibson Faded SG Special is an electric guitar that maintains the tradition of looks, functionality, and value for which the SG guitar is known. 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 guitar’s faded finish gives it the look of an electric that started its rockin’ days in the ’60s. A Little 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 "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul’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.

This guitar was in good shape when I got it. I didn’t even change the strings, it’s in immaculate condition.Sound test on this piece was a lot of fun. I plugged into a Marshall DSL401 and let her rip. The Angus Young tones were abundant. I couldn’t help but play some Sabbath as well. Checking out the clean tones was cool too. It was easy to coax the Eric Clapton sound out. Actually, I tried a lot of different tones and styles and this little SG handled everything I could throw at it. Extremely versatile and easy to play.All in all, a great sounding, beatiful guitar that should last several lifetimes! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!!!
