Gibson USA SG Special - Vintage Cherry

A Legendary Rock Machine, Reborn for the Modern Galaxy.

Blasted onto the scene in the early 1960s, the Gibson SG Special was designed as a raw, no-frills version of the SG Standard — but it didn’t take long for this stripped-down axe to carve out a galactic legacy of iconic riffs and rebellious tone. Now reimagined for the modern space rocker, the SG Special in Vintage Cherry fuses classic design with cosmic playability, powered by a pair of snarling P-90 pickups and a sleek, ultra-light mahogany body.

From the moment you launch into your first chord, the SG Special feels like a seasoned space cruiser — comfortable, agile, and ready to roar. The SlimTaper neck profile and rosewood fingerboard offer buttery-smooth action for high-velocity lead runs and chord-heavy rhythm work. And with the iconic double-cutaway horns and deep bevels, you’ll get unrestricted access to the upper frets — no matter how far your solos venture into the sonic stratosphere.

Armed with dual Gibson P-90 pickups, the SG Special delivers bold mids, punchy dynamics, and crystalline clarity, even at full throttle. Hand-wired electronics with dedicated volume and tone knobs for each pickup let you sculpt your sound with galactic precision, while Orange Drop capacitors ensure your tone remains stable, even under heavy gain or intense stage lights.

Whether you're channeling classic rock energy or carving new soundscapes in a distant galaxy, the Gibson USA SG Special is the perfect companion for players chasing authentic tone, effortless playability, and timeless style. It’s not just a guitar — it’s a vessel for musical rebellion, built to ignite stages and studios alike.
