Used 2007 Gibson Custom Shop SG Special – VOS

Pure Rock and Roll Joy

The arrival of this Custom Shop SG Special brought all work at Wildwood to a grinding halt as we gathered around the case ooh-ing and ah-ing. It takes quite a special guitar to cause a hush to fall over Wildwood, but this guitar looks so cool that quiet reverence seemed appropriate. Gibson really nailed that stunning TV Yellow finish--you don't see an SG wearing that color every day!

Of course, this serial has plenty of substance beneath its stylish exterior (speaking of stylish, look at that bound fretboards!). The resonant mahogany body goes with its P-90 pickups the way a cold beer goes with a fresh-grilled cheeseburger, and together they produce a delightful tone that works in just about every musical context. The midrange punches, snarls, and bites with the best of 'em, while the sweet, singing highs have plenty of sizzle and chime. Low-end joy abounds, too! The bass frequencies are woody and warm, but they're remarkably clear even in high-gain situations. And, this Custom Shop SG Special sustains forever thanks to its compensated wrapround tailpiece.

Plugging this guitar into a cranked amp is a sure-fire recipe for rock and roll joy, and it has a way of connecting you to the visceral delights of rock and roll. We invite you to experience the simple pleasures of P-90s by taking this '07 Custom Shop SG Special for a spin. After one power chord, we're sure you'll be hooked for life.

Condition Report

This SG Special is in fantastic shape! It shows very light signs of normal use, and the frets look nearly perfect with virtually zero wear. There's one small ding by the D string tuner, but that's about all there is to report as far as cosmetic imperfections. It comes with its original hardshell case, too!
