Gibson 2017 SG Faded T Electric Guitar, Worn Brown

In the early 1960s, Gibson introduced a new model following slow sales of their now-iconic Les Paul. Originally intended as a new version of the Les Paul, the design was renamed the SG (Solid Guitar) when it did not get the endorsement of Les Paul himself. The SG was thinner and lighter than the Les Paul, with two pointed horn cutaways, bevelled edges, and no body binding. It became one of the most copied solidbody electric guitars in the world.

The 2017 Gibson SG Faded T's played-on looks make it feel like a solidbody electric guitar that has been loved and played for decades and has seen the inside of more than a few clubs. However, make no mistake, this is a thoroughly modern guitar. A resonant mahogany body works in tandem with 490R and 490T humbuckers to produce screaming high output PAF inspired tones. The SG T sports a Slimtaper profile that provides an extremely comfortable and fast feel. Vintage style keystone tuners add to the "old" look, and the SG T also sports a self-lubricating Tektoid nut, a lightweight nickel plated aluminium TOM bridge, and the authentic look of a New Faded Gloss nitrocellulose finish.
