The Jake Kiszka SG Standard by Gibson is a limited-edition electric guitar handcrafted in Nashville that pays tribute to Greta Van Fleet's guitarist and his cherished 1961 SG.
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard features a Faded Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose finish, a SlimTaper mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets with acrylic trapezoid inlays, and a Graph Tech nut. The model is also equipped with Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, and T-Type humbucker pickups with independent volume and tone controls using Orange Drop capacitors. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Stop tailpiece is housed beneath a locked Sideways Vibrola cover for vintage aesthetics with modern stability.
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard comes with a black Modern hardshell case featuring Jake's custom doubloon logo, a hand-signed and stamped backplate, and a custom leather strap with a metallic coin pendant.
