The Gibson SG Special Faded uses the same supreme tonewood species as its predecessor of nearly 50 years ago, carries the same rock-solid, time-tested hardware complement as the legendary SGs of the '60s, is powered by a pair of genuine Alnico humbucking pickups, and of course offers all the legendary playability that has made Gibson famous.
The Gibson SG Special Faded has a no-nonsense appearance that countless guitarists prefer, and its genuine nitrocellulose satin finish sports the worn look that Gibson's Faded series is known for. Add it up, and it means unbeatable value for money, in a guitar that rocks with the best of them – as great SG players like Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Frank Zappa, Derek Trucks, Tony Iommi and numerous others have proved for five decades.
Nothing can match the well-played look and feel of a favorite SG from the 1960s or’70s – except today’s Gibson SG Special Faded. The “Worn” finish make the Gibson SG Special Faded guitars feel like old friends, while humbucking pickups bring the SG Special to a level of performance the originals never had.
