GIBSON CUSTOM SHOPSG SPECIALVINTAGE ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONThere are two ways of getting that genuine, 60s Gibson SG look and sound.1) Buy a genuine 60s Gibson SG, or2) Buy a Gibson Custom Shop Vintage Original Specification (V.O.S.) SG.A genuine 60s SG would be brilliant, but good ones are hard to find, and who knows what has been happening to it in the last 40 odd years - and you don t get a warranty.The Custom Shop V.O.S. SG is like travelling back in time to the 60s and buying the guitar new (not the same price unfortunately). The Gibson Custom Shop has produced a guitar identical in every detail - even including the strings - to the guitars that were being made in the early 60s.The guitars are hand-crafted for tone and playability, and include the revolutionary (at the time) slim taper neck and period accurate electronics. There is even a nitro-cellulose lacquer covering the guitar to mimic the original patina.The V.O.S. Series allows players to enjoy all the advantages of an authentic retro tone and iconic vintage specification, without all the hassles of owning and playing a vintage instrument. Playing a V.O.S. will make you appreciate the heritage that made your modern Gibson what it is, and realise why these guitars have been around for so long, and so fundamental to the history of Rock music.SPECIFICATIONSSolid mahogany bodyNickel hardwareLightweight aluminum bridge1-piece mahogany neck22-fret rosewood fingerboardPearloid dot inlaysSingle-ply cream neck binding196 ...
