Description

Edit description

Step into the golden era of rock with the 1967 Gibson SG Special, a guitar that embodies the spirit of its time with a distinctive style and sound. Originally introduced as a mid-level option, this electric guitar quickly gained fame for its raw, biting tone, courtesy of the P-90 pickups that have become synonymous with its name. The SG Special's sleek mahogany body and neck offer not only striking visuals but also a resonant foundation for the rich, warm sound it produces.

The carefully crafted bound rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of finesse, while the dot inlays provide a classic look that's both vintage and timeless. With a redesigned larger pickguard introduced in 1966, this guitar not only looks iconic but offers enhanced protection and style.

Per The Doors Guide website - a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s — THE DOORS":

"According to an Elektra memo, Robby Krieger purchased a red 1967 Gibson SG Special in November 1967. It was likely acquired for use in the studio as session photos from early '68 show him with this guitar. He also played it during at least one set at the Fillmore East in March 1968."

Zach Person is confirmed to use a 1967 Gibson SG Special, as detailed in a feature by Chris Kies on Premier Guitar's "Rig Rundown." According to the source, Person has revitalized this guitar with several modifications, including new OX4 P-90 pickups and a refinish, while maintaining its original wood, neck shape, and frets. He describes the neck shape as "narrow but chunky" in his hands, and notes that the guitar's Maestro tremolo system has been removed.
