Gibson Limited Edition SG Original 2 Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Head back to 1961 with this "Hit & Run" limited-edition Gibson -- crafted in the style of the original SG, from the headstock to the Vibrola Lyre tailpiece.

When it comes to the classics, sometimes you just have to have it original -- and it doesn't get much more classic than Gibson's legendary SG, a rock and blues icon since its introduction in 1961. The Gibson SG Original from Gibson USA brings back the look, feel, and tone of the most desirable SG Standards ever made, thanks to the use of Grade-A tonewoods, exacting specs, and premium hardware and pickups. From the slim '60s neck profile, to the trim early '60s headstock shape and smaller '61 pickguard, to the tonally rich and versatile '57 Classic humbucking pickups, to the vibrola tailpiece with "lyre" cover, the SG Original nails the vibe of the seminal SG in every respect, bringing you a stunning "reissue" style guitar at an impressively affordable price.

I purchased my Limited Edition SG Original 2 right here on zZounds using the pay as you play! Tone: The clean tones of this guitar are articulate and snappy. Great for country rock and blues. When you activate the neck position it's very full sounding for you to hit those jazz notes. Make no mistake this guitar is a Rock N' Roll guitar. Overdriven this guitar comes through as crunchy and full sounding. This is when this guitar comes alive and has a unique voice. Crunchy and dirty. Again, this is the rock n' roll sound right here. Feel: This guitar feels light in weight. The neck is perfect, more slim. Just feels right! Feels like a real guitar and not a toy. Quality & Build: Built to last. This guitar I will pass down to my kids. It's high quality and has that amazing high quality smell to it. =) Just built to last and will age well. Summery: I have owned Epiphone SG's also a Gibson SG Classic 60s with P90's and a 2011 Gibson SG Limited Antique Cherry with a baked maple fret-board. This I sold once I purchased this SG Original 2. There are about 5 steps up in quality and feel. This is the SG I dreamed of owning. It has the vibrato or Mastero bridge which I really dig. I love owning this guitar and am so glad I took advantage of the pay as you play here on Zzounds. They also have great customer service and followed up with me to make sure I was happy with my purchase. This is the only SG I need to own and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy and SG. This read more is the real deal.
