Built in the USA, it delivers raw rock tone and effortless playability thanks to its lightweight mahogany construction and broken-in satin finish, giving it a naturally resonant and played-in feel straight from the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA set mahogany neck with Gibson’s rounded profile provides a comfortable yet substantial grip, balancing vintage character with modern playability. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard, the SG Special Faded offers a smooth, responsive playing surface across all 22 frets, equally suited to rhythm work and expressive lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the guitar is powered by a pair of Gibson 490R and 490T Alnico II humbuckers, delivering warm mids, articulate highs, and a punchy low end. Known for their versatility, these pickups handle blues, classic rock, and higher-gain tones with clarity and dynamic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and strong sustain, while vintage-style tuners complete the classic SG aesthetic. Simple, effective controls keep everything intuitive, allowing the focus to remain on feel and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in Worn Cherry, the SG Special Faded captures the essence of the SG line—lightweight, resonant, and built for players who value tone, feel, and performance over flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel: Gibson SG Special Faded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYear: 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade In: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Worn Cherry Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany, Set Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickups: Gibson 490R (Neck), Gibson 490T (Bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Type: Alnico II Humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: 2 x Volume, 2 x Tone, 3-Way Toggle Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Stopbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage Style Keystone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47982999306405,"sku":"00185537","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/8491\/7157\/files\/4E54B7AC-1C7E-4733-8974-021268D8D5AA.jpg?v=1783334768","url":"https:\/\/musicvault.co.uk\/products\/gibson-sg-special-faded-worn-cherry-2005-pre-owned","provider":"Music Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
