Gibson's stylish and toneful SG has been a classic ever since its arrival on the scene in 1961. Its status as the replacement for the Les Paul was only temporary (it was referred to the Les Paul/SG until 1963, when it became merely the SG), but its position as a rock icon was permanent. By the mid '60s, the SG Special (a variant with no-nonsense styling and gnarly P-90 pickups) was the favorite of countless rock and blues artists, and was seen in the hands of Pete Townshend, Carlos Santana, and Robby Krieger, to name but a few. To celebrate this rock classic, Gibson USA introduces the SG Classic Faded, exclusive to Musician's Friend. With a grain-textured satin nitrocellulose finish in Worn Cherry that makes the SG Classic Faded feel like an old friend right out of the bag, this guitar has all the ingredients that made the '60s SG Special legendary, at a price any hard-gigging guitarist can afford.
Whether live or on CD Metallica is pure adrenaline and the new signature bass Warwick built for their master of bass, Robert Trujillo, is equally powerful. Laying the sonic foundation for one of the greatest Heavy Metal acts ever is no mean feat, so Robert teamed up with Warwick to create a bass that would be up to the challenge. Make no mistake, this bass is for heavy hitters. Even the fastest licks and heaviest chords, for which Rob is notorious, are clear and powerful. Rob especially likes the comfort and the sleek design of the body which makes you become one with the resonance of the instrument. Being part of Metallica is not just another gig. As a result, the Robert Trujillo Signature bass is not just another bass, but rather some kind of monster; it is as powerful, authoritative and inspired as the man for whom Warwick built it.

The Les Paul Studio 50s Tributes’ Worn Gold Top, Worn Honey Burst, Worn Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Worn Ebony, and Worn White finishes nail the appearance of five popular “Standard” and “Custom” finishes from the era, while its unbound body and neck and chambered mahogany body with carved maple top keep it in line with the simplicity that thousands of Les Paul Studio players already cherish.
