Presentation
The Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue Lightning Bar VOS Cherry is a true journey into the golden age of electric guitars. This iconic model captures the essence of 1963, a defining moment in the evolution of the SG, with remarkable fidelity.
Recreated using traditional construction methods and meticulous attention to detail, this reissue pays homage to the original while delivering an unmatched sonic and tactile experience.
The body is carved from a single piece of mahogany, delivering rich tone and exceptional resonance. The solid mahogany neck features a comfortable and fast 1960s SlimTaper C profile, ideal for extended sessions.
The Indian rosewood fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl dots, provides a smooth and responsive surface, perfect for precise and dynamic playing.
Tone-wise, the dual Soapbar P-90 pickups capture the raw, biting soul of the era. These pickups deliver a range of tones from clear, sparkling highs to deep, punchy lows, ideal for blues, rock or even punk.
The high-end electronics, with CTS potentiometers and hand-wired, ensure unmatched sonic precision and clarity.
Aesthetically, this SG Special sports a Vintage Patina Nitrocellulose finish that gives it a period-correct look. The Lightning Bar Wraparound tailpiece, iconic to this era, ensures perfect intonation and enhanced sustain.
Kluson Single Line tuners with white buttons complete the vintage look, while details like the three-ply black pickguard and black control knobs add a touch of elegance.
Delivered in a black and yellow Custom Shop hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity, the Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue Lightning Bar VOS Cherry is much more than a guitar.
It is a collector's item, a tribute to timeless design and an essential tool for musicians looking to recreate or reinvent classic sounds from musical history.
