Gibson SG Special Faded - Worn Brown

This item is located in our Springfield, MO location.

The Gibson SG Special Faded takes one of rock history's most iconic double-cutaway electric guitars and strips it down to pure, unadulterated performance. Built with a solid mahogany body and a matching set mahogany neck, this vintage-inspired workhorse offers rich acoustic resonance, warm sustain, and effortless upper-fret access. Its smooth Worn Brown satin nitrocellulose finish lets the natural grain of the wood breathe freely, giving the guitar a fast, comfortable, broken-in feel right out of the case.

Powered by a pair of Gibson's aggressive 490R and 490T humbucking pickups, this SG delivers classic American voice with incredible versatility. From crunchy rhythm tracks to singing, high-gain leads, these pickups pump out the famous midrange bite and organic growl that made the SG design legendary in the hands of rock icons like Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Derek Trucks, and Pete Townshend. Combined with its lightweight body and intuitive layout, it's designed to deliver peak performance night after night.

Whether you're tracking in the studio, jamming in the garage, or tearing up the main stage, the SG Special Faded delivers pure Gibson tone, effortless playability, and understated vintage attitude at an unbeatable value.
