The Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue VOS Cherry Red #205183 from the Custom Shop represents the special edition of the iconic instrument of rock 'n' Roll with authentic 1963 model year specifications. Coveted for its simplicity and distinctive double horn design, this electric guitar draws its powerfully distinctive sound from two soap bar-format P-90 pickups and boasts traditional mahogany construction with proven playability. Included with the Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue VOS Cherry Red is a sturdy Gibson hardshell case and a signed certificate of authenticity.
Traditional mahogany construction
As the most important component of the instrument that gives the SG its unique charm, a classically slim mahogany bodyis used, which with its subtly kept Cutaways and contoured shapings not only ensures comfortable playability but also provides ideal access to the high fingerboard positions. This is crafted from rosewood to a proven recipe and features 22 fretswith Authentic Medium Jumbo fret wire, while the mahogany neck with resonant long neck base and its true-to-original Authentic '63 Medium C profile provide added resonance and proven left-hand feel.
Equipped with two Gibson P-90 Soapbar pickups and classic Gibson Lightning Bar wraparound bridge, the Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue VOS Cherry Red #205183 is clearly designed for hot sounds of rock 'n' roll.
The features of the Gibson SG Special combined with high output of the P-90 pickups make it the ideal electric guitar for rock and hotter blues.
Gibson P-90 Soapbar Single Coils
In contrast to the standard model equipped with two humbuckers, the Special version of the SG uses two Gibson P-90 pickups in the neck and bridge positions. As the forerunner of the famous P.A.F. double coil, the P-90 has been used in numerous Gibson instruments since the post-war period and is still celebrated today for its distinctive midrange and powerful tone. The electrical system of the 1963 SG Special Reissue VOS Cherry Red is completely hand-wired and assigns separate controls for Volume and Tone to both pickups.
Six Kluson tuners with historic single-line case for the SG's iconic headstock look provide
Authentic VOS Hardware
The hardware setup of the Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue VOS Cherry Red also follows the traditional setup of the original SG Special and presents itself as simple but incredibly effective. On the body, the famous Gibson Lightning Bar Bridge delivers direct resonance transmission and clean intonation as a wraparound design with compensated tabs for each string. Both the Cherry Red nitrocellulose finish and hardware appointments have undergone a meticulous VOS treatment and convey the typical 'broken-in' character of a well-rehearsed, well-kept original.
