Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

This 2005 Gibson SG Special Faded is a phenomenal rock-and-roll workhorse that radiates an authentic and soulful musical presence. Built with a resonant mahogany body and matching mahogany neck, this lightweight specimen tips the scales at a comfortable 6 pounds 3 ounces while delivering incredible natural acoustic resonance. The smooth rosewood fingerboard provides a supremely playable, rock-solid foundation for blazing riffs and expressive bends alike. Loaded with a potent pair of 490R and 490T humbuckers, this dual-pickup powerhouse serves up plenty of punchy midrange and classic Gibson growl through its traditional control layout. From the timeless Gibson Deluxe tuners to the reliable nickel and chrome hardware, every element is engineered for high-energy performance. Complete with its protective hardshell case, this legendary rock machine is ready to bring an undeniable spark to your collection today!
