What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
490R and 490T humbucking pickups PAF-style tone with bump in upper midrange
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Slim taper neck '60s style slim profile; Comfortable design

Played-in looks, modern performance. The SG Faded 2017 T has been carefully crafted by Gibson USA to look and feel like an old friend the first time you pick it up. With its more authentic Faded Gloss finish and nickel-plated hardware, the SG Faded looks weathered by a few decades of playing, while the guitar itself feels as if it has been shaped directly by the player's own hands, for an absolutely perfect fit.

The SG Faded is an artful blend of history and modernity, where SG traditions began more than five decades ago meet with 21st century innovations for sonic versatility and playability. A set of 490R and 490T humbuckers with Alnico magnets delivers historic SG tones, while a slim-taper neck with a thicker maple fingerboard and 22 polished frets combine for an amazing feel in the hand, yielding easy bends and lightning-fast soloing -- an impressive value for a high quality made-in-USA Gibson guitar. Delivered in a padded gigbag, accompanied by a strap and a polishing cloth.

Features:

- Aluminum Tune-o-Matic bridge with steel thumbweels
- Aluminum Stop Bar with steel post
- Pickups perfectly matched to the spirit of their historic models and classic Gibson controls
- Rolled binding over the frets
- Polished 0.55 frets on top of our original 1.695" neck width and original Gibson Les Paul heel
- Historic plastics, knobs, hardware, truss rod cover and acrylic inlays
- Historic Switchcraft toggle switch and multi-contact gold-plated jack

This 2017 Gibson SG faded T in worn cherry is amazing. Its is a high quality American made guitar with great hardware and the deluxe Gibson soft case (brown). I feel that I really got a lot of guitar for my money. I`m perplexed by this guitar not having owned an American made guitar or a Gibson I don't understand how or why but this guitar just sounds and feels alot better. This is my first SG guitar, I love the long feel of the neck and the small body. Everything about this guitar is first rate. the pickups sound warm, clear with lots of sustain and sound great distorted.
