From Our Research Team:

Classic SG Style with Modern Versatility!

The Gibson SG Deluxe solidbody electric guitar takes the classic SG that every serious rocker knows and reveres to a whole new level, without committing rock guitar sacrilege. Like most good SG models, the 2013 Gibson SG Deluxe starts off with a slim mahogany, but they added a beautiful AA flame maple top to this instrument, giving you both the look of a boutique electric guitar and the extra snap and bite of maple. Add to that three '57 Classic humbuckers, and you've got all of the traditional SG tones you could ask for, plus several "in-between" position tones you typically can't get. And to top it all off, there's even a genuine Bigsby vibrato tailpiece onboard, allowing you to pull off slow and subtle bends with your 2013 Gibson SG Deluxe guitar.

Gibson 2013 SG Deluxe Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Flame-maple-topped mahogany body gives this SG a sweet look with tone to match
  • A trio of '57 Classic humbuckers give you classic PAF tone and modern versatility
  • You just can't beat the feel of this slim '60s-style SG neck

You just can't beat the feel of this slim '60s-style SG neck
Made from lightweight mahogany and topped with stunning AA-grade flame maple, the SG Deluxe gives you that boutique guitar look plus killer complex harmonic overtones. This combination provides you with an astonishing acoustic balance, combining the warm overtones of a mahogany with the sparkle and bite of a maple top. What's more, the SG Deluxe is no slouch in the looks department, adding instant eye-candy appeal to your guitar rig.

A trio of '57 Classic humbuckers give you classic PAF tone and modern versatility
The pickups that Gibson gave their 2013 SG Deluxe electric guitars are as true to the sound of the original 1961 model as it gets. That's because Gibson originally engineered their '57 Classic humbuckers to capture the warmth, smooth playing dynamics, and overall character of their breakthrough PAFs. However, unlike most SGs on the market, the SG Deluxe features a third '57 Classic in the middle position. This third humbucker provides you with a whole additional range of tone, allowing you to blend and combine the sound of your pickups in a wide range of distinct configurations.

You just can't beat the feel of this slim '60s-style SG neck
This Gibson SG Deluxe 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 SlimTaper carve. This SG Deluxe takes the evolution of fast Gibson guitar neck carves one step farther, making this the fastest off-the-shelf 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 SG Deluxe.

Gibson 2013 SG Deluxe Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • As ultra-modern take on a classic Gibson solidbody electric guitar
  • Mahogany body with a gorgeous AAA flame maple top looks great and adds sparkle to your sound
  • Loaded with three '57 Classic humbucking pickups to deliver hard-hitting PAF tone with extra tonal versatility

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
