The Gibson SG Faded 2018 Worn Bourbon is a 6-string electric guitar featuring a mahogany body, a maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard and a worn bourbon finish. This new SG Faded for 2018 has been carefully crafted with the iconic twin horn cutaway shape providing unimpeded access to the upper frets and a worn finish and nickel-plated hardware delivering a weathered appearance. Built with a mahogany body, this SG Faded features a slim taper maple neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard for a comfortable profile, enhanced natural characteristics, sparkling highs, and an open midrange.
A set of 490R and 490T humbucker pickups are designed to recreate the classic tone of the Gibson PAF pickups, thereby producing a rich, vintage tone suitable for any genre of music. Both pickups are designed with a moderately high output, enhancing the natural sustain and resonance of the lightweight body for added depth and dynamics. Independent tone and volume controls provide players with excellent tone shaping, while the toggle switch provides versatile tonal options. An aluminium Tune-O-Matic bridge and separate stop bar tailpiece offer solid string stability and enhanced sustain, whilst a Tektoid nut enhances harmonics in the highs and mids.
