The Gibson VOS SG Custom is an electric guitar which follows the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) that make these series of guitars Gibson's next step in their journey towards perfection.
The SG Custom replaced the single cutaway Les Paul Custom in 1961. With three “Patent Applied For” humbuckers, gold hardware, multiple binding and an ebony fretboard to go along with the new thinline body, the SG Custom maintained the standard degree of elegance set by the original Les Paul Custom. The Gibson VOS SG Custom offers you this guitar made to the Vintage Original Spec.
VOS stands for “Vintage Original Spec”. The finishing process on VOS models has been customised to reflect the way Gibson finished Les Paul guitars back in the '50s. They receive a thinner nitro-cellulose lacquer finish which is applied, sanded, and buffed by hand; in other words, more care is put into the finishing process. This extra care is intended to make VOS guitars look like gently aged and well-cared-for vintage guitars. It also helps the guitars 'breathe' better and therefore to resonate and sustain more freely, making them much better instruments.
