Gibson Custom SG Custom Reissue V.O.S. Electric Guitar

The SG originally was intended as a Les Paul redesign and addressed what many considered the 2 main issues players had with the Les Paul: weight and upper fretboard access. Les Paul himself didn't like it so the Les Paul stuck to its original style and the new Les Paul design was renamed the SG Standard. Even though Les Paul didn't approve of it, countless rockers loved it and made it one of all-time hard rockin' favorites. This is the early '60s deluxe model. Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the SG Custom VOS is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case, a certificate of authenticity, and custom care kit.

The Gibson Vintage Original Spec SG Custom: The SG Custom replaced the single cutaway Les Paul Custom in 1961. With 3 Patent Applied For humbuckers, gold hardware, multiple binding, and an ebony fingerboard to go along with the new thinline body, the SG Custom maintained the standard of elegance set by the original Les Paul Custom. Now part of Gibson’s proprietary new Vintage Old Spec series – the next step in their journey toward perfection. Includes Custom Shop case.
