SG Special Faded 3-Pickup
Originally introduced in 1961, the SG Special continues to offer
an exciting combination of looks, functionality, and value that
has made it a much-loved guitar for decades. The SG Special
Faded 3-pickup model gives you the playability, tone, and
ornery charm that made the SG famous, with a couple of
twists thrown in. Three humbucking pickups give you high
output and great tonal options, great for everything
from screaming metal leads
to mellow, bluesy runs. The
slim mahogany body sports a
worn finish for that “broken
in” look — if you didn’t
know better, you’d swear
it had seen quite a bit of
quality stage time. Likewise,
the Flying V Faded 3-pickup
model carries on the retro-futuristic
vibe of a classic axe, with the same
3-pickup configuration and finish
featured on the SG Faded.
The Flying V’s angular and
balanced design makes it
both eye-catching and easy
to play.
SG Standard
The Gibson SG body style has remained in
production nonstop since it was first introduced
in 1961. The combination of a double cutaway for upper-fret
access plus the sustain of a mahogany body is still a favorite of guitar
players of all styles. The rounded profile mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard
with pearloid trapezoid inlays. Schaller green key tuners grace the headstock. Dual
humbuckers, a rosewood fingerboard, and a Tune-O-Matic bridge make
ONLY $48/mo.

SG-3
The SG has never been accused of being short on
tonal attitude, but for those of you who want a little
extra hot sauce in your sound, here’s a guitar with some
real kick to it! The SG-3 gives you the horsepower of three pickups (a
pair of ‘57 Classics plus a ‘57 Classic Plus in the bridge position), plus a cool
chicken-head rotary pickup selector with six settings for an amazing range of tones. This

SG '61 Reissue
The original SG came to be as a response to the
heavier Les Paul, and boasted a thinner, lighter
body. The SG ‘61 Reissue is a great representation of the SG
that eventually won the hearts of guitarists in all genres, with some
notable players being Angus Young of AC/DC and Eric Clapton during his days with
Cream. This reissue of the inaugural SG is available in a classic Heritage Cherry finish
and loaded with ‘57 Classic humbuckers to complete the vintage vibe. Call today to
grab your piece of Gibson history with this rockin’ reissue!

X-plorer
A modern update of the late-’50s classic,
Gibson’s X-plorer was born as a
response to critics’ claims that Gibson was
“conservative.” Well, the X-plorer is anything but conservative. Loaded
with two hot, coverless humbuckers, rounded mahogany neck, and gold hardware,
the X-plorer is designed to “wow” with its looks and its tone. A rock classic that gained
popularity in the ‘70s, which is the era that this particular model is based on, the
X-plorer has been used extensively for everything from blues to metal. The humbuckers
provide tons of sustain while the mahogany body sweetens up the sound.

V Factor X
How do you turn an ordinary guy into a chick-magnet? Nine
out of ten rockers recommend starting with a Gibson V Factor X.
Originally introduced in 1958 and reissued ten years later, the original
Flying V was so far ahead of its time that it didn’t catch on until the late ‘60s
and ‘70s. Now the ‘67 version lives on as the V Factor, which features a rounded
profile mahogany body and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. This guitar saw time in the
hands of legendary axe-slingers such as Jimi Hendrix and Albert King, and more recently,
Lenny Kravitz.
Colors: Ebony.

Firebird V
When you’re wearing this dangerous
mahogany axe you join the storied legacy of the
Gibson Firebird V, one of the most radical and distinctive solidbodies
in history, and follow in the footsteps of Rolling Stone Brian Jones, Texas blues
legend Johnny Winter, and modern day grunge king Dave Grohl. Based on the design
originally introduced in ‘63, today’s Firebird V faithfully reproduces the neck-thru-body
construction, mini-humbuckers, and reverse headstock to give you the timeless retrovibe
of the greatest guitar heroes of all time.
