Two for the Show
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
As the choice of rock 'n roll legends for decades, the original SG Special represented simplicity, versatility, and monster tone. This Historic recreation is a clone of the cherished vintage originals with all the modern playability and reliability you expect from Custom Shop. It features authentic profiles, specs, and construction methods for an incredible playing and ownership experience. It also has a few unexpected extras, including Custombucker humbucker™ pickups, an ABR-1 bridge and long Maestro™ Vibrola™ tailpiece, and incredibly realistic ultra light aging from the artisans of the Murphy Lab.
