{"product_id":"gibson-usa-kirk-douglas-signature-sg-ebony-1103385","title":"Gibson USA Kirk Douglas Signature SG Ebony","description":"As the guitarist with The Roots, the beloved house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC, \"Captain\" Kirk Douglas has developed a well-earned reputation as a stellar player. His guitar collection includes several Gibson models, but arguably the sexiest is his three-pickup Gibson SG Custom, which is now commemorated in the new Kirk Douglas signature SG from Gibson USA. Featuring non-locking Keystone tuners, a mahogany neck and body, rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and large block acrylic inlays, a Graph Tech nut, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Kirk Douglas signature \"Captain\" Lyre Tail Vibrola tailpiece, black Top Hat knobs with metal inserts, and three BurstBucker humbucking pickups. Like the Captain himself, the pickups and controls on his SG are incredibly versatile. On a basic level, they operate somewhat similarly to a two-pickup SG, but with significant added capabilities. The three-way toggle switch selects the bridge pickup, neck pickup, or both. Each of these pickups has its own volume control, and each is equipped with a push\/pull pot that switches the pickup from humbucker to single coil when the switch is pulled out. A single master tone knob, located in the usual lead tone control position, is provided, and where you’d normally expect to find the second tone control, an additional volume control (again, with a push\/pull switch for coil splitting) is installed. This controls the middle pickup, and can be used to blend its signal in with the other (one or two) pickups, regardless of how the three-way pickup selector switch is positioned. This means you can run the neck and\/or bridge pickups alone or together, the neck and middle, bridge and middle, or all three pickups simultaneously, and at any relative volume amounts desired. And even better - once you have dialed up the exact balance you want, you can adjust the overall output level of the entire guitar with the pickguard-mounted master volume control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e SG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfile: \u003c\/b\u003eSlimTaper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood with White binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrets:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1.695\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003eAcrylic Blocks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoint:\u003c\/b\u003e Glued in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eAluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Douglas signature \"Captain\" Lyre Tail Vibrola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold Keystone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Black 5-ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Top Hats with\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eGold inserts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitchwasher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black with Gold lettering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 - bottom and behind heel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e BurstBucker 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiddle Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eBurstBucker 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e BurstBucker 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003eMaster Volume, Master Tone, plus individual Volume controls with push\/pull coil splitting for each of the three pickups\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Selector: \u003c\/b\u003e3-way toggle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003e.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eHardshell","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34831043166343,"sku":"SGKD20EBGH1","price":1907.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-usa-kirk-douglas-signature-sg-ebony-sgkd20ebgh1-17776530358407.jpg?v=1647768899","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibson-usa-kirk-douglas-signature-sg-ebony-1103385","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
