For your consideration today is a very cool 2003 Gibson SG Faded. These are great rock and roll guitars but also work well for many other styles of music. Nice light weight and plenty of tone. Here is what the magazines say about them :

THE LOOK OF A WELL-LOVED, GRACEFULLY AGED INSTRUMENT

The Gibson Faded SG Special is an electric guitar that maintains the tradition of looks, functionality, and value for which the SG guitar is known. Under its attractive faded finish, the Faded Special SG is still the traditional SG, with mahogany body and neck, Tune-O-Matic/stopbar bridge, and alnico 490 pickups. The guitar's faded finish gives it the look of an electric that started its rockin' days in the '60s.

A Little SG History
In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that made the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist behind the original Les Paul did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to the end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.

  Playing a guitar that looks as if it has been around the block lends authority.

These things really sound great.   Turn it up and go!!!!!  Cosmetically, this one is nice and clean but does show some light wear(mainly in the arm wear spot so look closely at the photo). She has been played so please don't expect mint condition. Also as you can see in the photos, the tuners have been upgraded to Grover Rotomatics. The neck is straight, the frets are in great shape and she plays and sounds great with smooth low action. Comes with a Gibson gig bag but will be packed to withstand a 400 pound delivery guy.  Get yourself a cool SG!! Check out the photos and drop me a line if you have any questions.
