2014 Gibson Derek Trucks SG Signature Electric Guitar with a Vintage Cherry Red Stain finish. Overall in great condition with some typical light wear around the body. An aftermarket pickguard was installed, and since this model features an extra-deep scarf the pickguard lines up differently than a normal SG. The guitar weighs just 7.13 pounds. The neck thickness measures 0.813" at the 1st fret and 0.908" at the 12th fret.
The body has couple tiny dings and some light scuffs around the edges. The back of the body has some belt buckle dings. The back of the neck is clean and smooth with only a couple pinpoint marks. The fingerboard and frets are in great shape, with only a very tiny hint of playwear. All frets have been polished to a bright shine. The neck is perfectly straight and the truss rod works. The headstock has some scuffs around the edges. All tuners work perfectly.
Includes the original hardshell case in good working condition. Does not include any other accessories.
Gibson's Derek Trucks SG is a reissue of Derek's favorite solidbody electric guitar. A regular on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, Derek is a legend in the making. He's been quoted as saying that if he had to save one guitar in a house fire, it would be his beloved '61 Reissue SG. Well, here it is for your shredding pleasure: the streamlined lightweight mahogany body, the slim-profile neck, the '57 Classic humbuckers, and the faux Lyre tailpiece. Experience fluid playability, amazing looks, and impeccable tone with Gibson's Derek Trucks SG.
Gibson Derek Trucks SG Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:The pickups that Gibson spec'd for the Derek Trucks SG are as true to the sound of the original 1961 model as it gets. That's because Gibson engineered their '57 Classic humbuckers to capture the warmth, smooth playing dynamics, and overall character of their breakthrough PAFs. When you think of the slightly rude sound of classic rock, you're already imagining the fat, snarling tone you'll hear when you play your SG Standard through a tube amp cranked to 11.
You just can't beat the feel of this slim SG neckThe Derek Trucks SG gives you the smooth feel and fast action of Gibson's SG slim-profile neck. Early Les Pauls had huge necks, but by 1960 the neck underwent several modifications, eventually becoming the standard slim-profile carve. This SG takes the evolution of fast Gibson guitar neck profiles one step further, making this the fastest SG ever designed. And when you add to that the ultra-smooth feel of its bound rosewood fingerboard, you get the best of both comfort and performance from the Gibson Derek Trucks SG.
Nitrocellulose finish for yummy vintage looks and feelThe Gibson Derek Trucks SG wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to breathe. Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. Add to that this guitar's classy period-correct faux Lyre tailpiece, and your 2014 Gibson Derek Trucks SG has the look and feel of a classic solidbody electric guitar. And so it is.
PLEK'd for precision playabilityThis Gibson Derek Trucks Signature SG feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to PLEK processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
