Description

The 1968 Gibson SG features a thin, lightweight body with sharp cutaways and dual humbucking pickups producing thick, dark tones. Its fast playability and aggressive aesthetic made it a rock staple from its 1961 introduction through today. Vintage examples are highly valued for their punchy midrange and singing sustain.

The Fender Robert Cray Signature Stratocaster is a signature model developed with blues guitarist Robert Cray, built on the Stratocaster platform with Cray's specified Special Design single-coil pickups and a distinctively thin, gloss-finished neck for fast, comfortable playability. It's tailored to the expressive, clean-toned blues lead style Cray is known for across his Grammy-winning career.
