The Gibson SG Special Faded is a stripped-down, no-nonsense take on one of Gibson’s most iconic double-cutaway designs, built for players who value raw tone, lightweight comfort, and effortless playability. Finished in a Worn Cherry satin nitrocellulose lacquer, this model has a broken-in look and feel that invites you to plug in and play without distraction.
The SG’s famously thin body and deep double cutaways make it exceptionally comfortable, whether standing or seated, while providing outstanding upper-fret access. Known for its resonant, lively response, the SG platform delivers a punchy midrange, tight lows, and a cutting top end that excels in rock, blues, punk, and beyond. Its lightweight construction also makes it an excellent choice for long gigs or extended studio sessions.
The neck profile is designed for speed and comfort, offering a fast playing feel that suits both chord work and lead playing. The fingerboard provides a smooth, familiar surface that feels immediately accessible, making this guitar equally appealing to seasoned Gibson players and newcomers alike.
Equipped with a straightforward electronics layout, the SG Special Faded delivers classic Gibson tones with clarity and attitude. From gritty, overdriven crunch to warm, articulate cleans, this guitar responds dynamically to your playing style and volume controls, making it a versatile workhorse for a wide range of musical settings.
