Crafted with a solid mahogany body and matching mahogany neck, this SG delivers the warm, mid-forward voice that defines generations of rock and blues. The faded brown finish enhances the natural grain of the wood and offers a played-in aesthetic that’s as comfortable as your favorite pair of boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"666\"\u003eRoasted Maple Fingerboard with Rounded ’50s Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003eUncommon for this model year, this SG features a roasted maple fingerboard that adds stability and clarity to each note, complementing the resonance of the mahogany foundation. The neck is shaped with a rounded '50s C profile, measuring .830 inches at the first fret and tapering to .970 at the 12th. It fills the hand nicely without being overwhelming and makes for a confident, fluid playing experience up and down the 24.75-inch scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e490R and 498T Pickups: Punchy, Warm, and Fierce\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003eLoaded with a 490R in the neck and a 498T in the bridge, this SG Special Faded doesn’t hold back. The 490R offers vintage-voiced clarity and warmth, while the 498T tightens up the low end and cranks up the mids for aggressive lead tones. Whether clean or cranked, these pickups deliver the kind of tone that makes the SG a staple for countless legendary players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eClassic SG Playability and Hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1917\"\u003eThe familiar Tune-O-Matic bridge ensures solid intonation and sustain, paired with nickel hardware that complements the stripped-down, utilitarian vibe of the guitar. The traditional 3-way toggle gives you quick access to each pickup or a blend of both, and the dual volume and tone controls let you dial in the sweet spot no matter your rig or style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1950\"\u003eHonest Wear, Real Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"2244\"\u003eThis 2012 Gibson SG Special Faded is in very good condition with moderate surface wear throughout and visible buckle rash on the back—entirely cosmetic and clearly shown in the photos.
