Description
A favorite of countless guitar legends, including Carlos Santana and The Who's Pete Townshend, the Gibson SG Special is a rockin' axe born to shred. With its deep double-cutaways, sleek mahogany body, and snarling P-90 pickups, the SG Special is synonymous with mean, gritty tones and devilishly good looks. This Gibson Custom 1963 SG Special pays tribute to those early models, and it's perfect for players seeking a phenomenal vintage-inspired Gibson that's chock-full of "in-your-face" tones.
This gorgeous guitar sports a solid mahogany body, giving it a rich voice with deep lows and a biting midrange. Its sleek contours and exceptional balance make for an incredibly comfortable playing experience, while its '61 SG mahogany neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard play with a wicked-fast feel. That's not all, though - Gibson's master craftsmen treated this SG Special to the Plek Pro treatment, ensuring impeccable intonation, ideal action, and zero fret buzz.
Driving the Custom Shop 1963 SG Special is a set of P-90 Soap Bar pickups that pump out a jaw-dropping array of rockin' tones. Hit your amp hard and crank your favorite dirt pedals, and this beast will pump out plenty of bark and growl. Roll off the tone knob, ease up on the volume, and it'll clean up nicely with ample depth and sweetness.
Complete with a distinctive TV Yellow finish, tortoise side dots, and a unique lightning bar tailpiece, the Gibson Custom Shop 1963 SG Special is excellent for guitarists and collectors seeking a remarkable SG that offers an incomparable playing experience.
