Up for sale is a classic player's guitar: a 2005 Gibson SG Special Faded in the highly sought-after Worn Cherry satin finish. This model perfectly captures the raw, resonant rock-and-roll vibe that the SG is famous for, featuring a lightweight mahogany body and neck that feels incredible to play.Key Features & Specs:

  • Model: Gibson SG Special Faded
  • Year: 2005 (Made in Nashville, TN / Serial #00085370)
  • Finish: Worn Cherry (Satin Nitrocellulose)
  • Body & Neck: Solid Mahogany
  • Fretboard: Unbound Rosewood fretboard with classic dot inlays
  • Pickups: Original Gibson open-coil humbuckers (high-output and punchy)
  • Hardware: Gibson Deluxe tuners, full-face black pickguard, standard 3-way toggle switcher, and 4-knob control layout (2 volume, 2 tone)

Condition:
The guitar is in very good, authentic "player's condition." The thin satin finish has naturally aged and settled beautifully into the mahogany grain over the last 20+ years, showing minor, honest wear from regular use.

  • Body & Neck: The mahogany neck is smooth and fast. The headstock is fully intact with standard light cosmetic marks on the back near the serial number stamp.
  • Electronics: 100% functional. The open-coil pickups scream, and all pots, jacks, and switches operate smoothly without any scratchy noise.
  • Frets: The rosewood board is well-conditioned, and the nickel medium-jumbo frets have plenty of life left in them.

This SG is extremely lightweight, resonant, and balanced—ready for the stage, studio, or your home collection.
