Hall of Fame: 2011 Gibson SG Special Electric Guitar in Worn Cherry
Vincent BarrasShare
The 2011 Gibson SG Special is a USA-made electric guitar that delivers classic SG tone and feel, with a solid mahogany body, set mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a pair of Gibson 490 series humbuckers offering warm cleans and gritty overdrive. Its lightweight double cutaway design provides excellent upper fret access and a raw, responsive character that suits rock, blues, and punk styles with ease.
This model is particularly sought after for its stripped-back Gibson USA build from a period when these Specials were produced in smaller numbers, making clean examples increasingly hard to find and highly desirable among players.
