The SG Deluxe is not the guitar you see every day. This 2013 USA-made example in Red Fade is the limited-run Deluxe version, not the standard SG, and you notice the difference the moment you pick it up. The AA figured maple top gives it visual depth that a plain mahogany SG just doesn't have, and it brings a touch of brightness and articulation on top of that classic mahogany warmth.

Three Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers is what makes this one worth hunting down. Most SGs run two pickups. This one gives you a middle position that opens up tones you simply cannot get from a standard SG. Warm neck jazz tones, glassy middle-position cleans, full-on bridge crunch. All from one guitar. The chrome Bigsby vibrato tailpiece handles pitch movement like a vintage instrument should, without the tuning instability of a budget trem. Grover tuners keep everything locked in.

The mahogany neck has a comfortable profile with a bound rosewood fingerboard and split diamond inlays. Details that put this firmly in premium territory. It comes with the original hardshell case.

USA-made Gibsons from this era with the Deluxe spec and Bigsby don't come up often in this condition. Pre-owned SG Deluxes with three '57 Classics and a figured maple top are genuinely hard to find. If you have been looking for an SG that does more than the standard two-pickup version, this is it.
