Check Out This Wildly Unique Gibson!

Get ready to stand out — the SG Zoot Suit is your ticket to turning heads. This memorable stunner sports that famous SG body style with a flashy, definitely rebellious appearance. How'd they pull it off? The adventurous Gibson crew dyed individual pieces of birch different colors, then bonded them together to create arguably their most wild-vibed axe yet. And, sources say, the SG Zoot Suit is absolutely a 10 on the tone meter. It's got a brighter-than-typical SG that tone you're going to dig — so plug in, turn up, and start your SG Zoot Suit riot.

Get the story on this eye-catcher's unique look
From the moment you pull the SG Zoot Suit out of its case, it's going to draw in eyes — and lots and lots of intrigue. Here's the story you can tell them. The folks at Gibson Nashville like to push the envelope and the SG Zoot Suit is a prime — and very fine — example of those creative brains at work. The absolutely unmatched body vibe comes through a unique process. Gibson dyed individual pieces of birch, then bonded them together with a very special adhesive. The proprietary adhesive is designed to maximize sustain and enhance the axe's resonance. One thing's for sure: you've definitely never seen — or heard — anything like this Gibson SG Zoot Suit work of instrument art.

This one loves it bright and rich with sustain
The SG has a following, that's for sure. And what's cool about the SG Zoot Suit is that it's got that magical SG body style (yes, with that got-to-love-it comfortable, fast, rounded-profile neck). But because of the unique body creation, the SG Zoot Suit actually benefits from a more balanced, solid feel. Tonally, the SG Zoot Suit has a brighter voice that the legendary 496R and 500T pickups are all about. These cool pickups sport clear coil forms, so you can actually see the copper wire. And interesting story on the wire here — it's made from polysol copper... the same wire used in making pickups in the 1950s and 1960s to help contribute to the Gibson SG Zoot Suit's very cool, very vintage, yet totally modern personality.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
