Product Description
Since its arrival on the scene in 1961, Gibson's dual-horned, double-cutaway SG has been an iconic rock axe, and has become known for solid performance and tonal versatility that is unparalleled in the guitar world. Packing all the power and playability of the full-blown SG Standard, but at a price that puts it easily in the hands of today's hardworking guitarists, the Gibson SG Special HH is easily one of the hottest bargains out there in an American-made electric guitar, and offers the best combination of features and value in the entire SG line.The SG Special HH uses the same supreme tonewood species as its predecessor of nearly 50 years ago, carries the same rock-solid, time-tested hardware complement as the legendary SGs of the '60s, is powered by a pair of genuine Alnico humbucking pickups, and of course offers all the legendary playability that has made Gibson famous. To top it all off, it has a no-nonsense appearance that countless guitarists prefer, and its genuine nitrocellulose satin finish sports the worn look that Gibson's Faded series is known for.The SG Special HH is distinguished by its simpler headstock adornments, the businesslike dot inlays on its baked maple fretboard (which is also left un-bound in keeping with its stripped-down ethos), and its elegant worn satin nitro finish. Under this thin skin, however, today's Gibson USA SG Special Faded runs neck-and-neck with the flagship of the SG family. Its solid mahogany body packs all the resonance and sustain that has helped to make SGs legendary, and it sports the beveled edge that is such a big part of this model's distinctive styling, while also enhancing playing comfort.Two deep cutaways with sharp, slightly asymmetrical horns offer unparalleled access to the top of its 22-fret neck, which you'll scale at lightning speed thanks to the SG Special HH's fast, comfortable, rounded '50s neck profile.

Gibson SG Special HH Electric Guitar Dark Cherry Reviews
 Pleased with the performance of this lowest cost Gibson, By This review is from: Gibson SG Special HH Electric Guitar Dark Cherry I looked at the faded series for quite some time before I stumbled upon this special edition. This guitar is a special made for Guitar Center and their affiliated companies. The biggest difference is the lack of tone controls for both pickups, tone is controlled via a single knob.I like the finish of this guitar, I think it's a little slicker than the Faded series but it's not high gloss by any means.

The guitar comes with a decent but very plain gig bag. I will purchase a hard case for it at some time. I think you are better served to buy this Gibson rather than a shiny Epiphone any day.
