Here for sale we have a Gibson SG Special Faded 70s Electric Guitar in Satin Cherry finish. Made in the USA in 2016, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tune-o-matic bridge, a Stopbar tailpiece, Nickel hardware, a Titanium nut, and two Gibson Mini Humbucking pickups. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.

 

The Mahogany neck plays well, with the 'SG70' profile offering a very comfortable and smooth playing experience across the register. The 1.7365" nut width offers easy reach of all the strings without being too large or cumbersome in the hand, allowing for fast and articulate playing with ease. The traditional 12" fingerboard radius is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques, whilst the medium jumbo frets provide a rock-solid playing surface and enhanced string bending and vibrato feel. 

 

The Gibson mini humbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Gibson mini humbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output,  providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition. The headstock demonstrates minor indentations throughout, most notably around the A string winding post and the top corners of the front and rear face. None of these are deep enough to reveal the wood beneath.

    Neck: Overall excellent condition. It is difficult to discern any markings to the neck or fingerboard.

    Body: Overall very good condition. The body demonstrates minor indentations throughout, none of which pierce the finish to reveal wood beneath. A filled screw hole is present next to the strap button marking its previous position.
