rosewood fingerboard. The body is then finished in Krieger’s personal favorite Aged Dark Heritage Cherry finish, which is very similar to the finish of his beloved 1967 SG Standard, and historically accurate right down to the tiniest scratches, dings and belt rash. The neck is also a typical SG one-piece mahogany neck, but with a hybrid neck profile modeled after the neck on a 1961 Gibson SG owned by a close friend and the neck on his personal ’67 SG Standard. In order to duplicate his signature sound Krieger chose a pair of Gibson’s renowned ’57 Classic humbucker pickups. Gibson’s original "Patent Applied For" humbuckers of the mid- to late-1950s —: some of the most sought after pickups in the world —: were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone, and desirable to players who wanted to mix and match and explore a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities. The ’57 Classic pickups are the result of Gibson’s drive to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic. Krieger’s signature sound comes through clearly in a warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing all the tremendous "PAF" humbucker crunch expected from a Gibson humbucker. Everything else on the new Inspired By Krieger SG is classic Gibson SG Standard, including the ABR-1 Bridge and Maestro tailpiece tremolo system, nickel hardware, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with figured acrylic trapezoid inlays, and vintage tulip tuners. The Robby Krieger 1967 SG Aged will only be produced in a very limited run of 50—signed and aged to look exactly like Krieger’s original. The Robby Krieger 1967 SG Aged Standard is destined to become of the most sought-after SGs ever produced by Gibson Custom. Each guitar will come with its own Gibson Custom case and a certificate of authenticity signed personally by Krieger.
