SG Wiki
20 hendrix

The Jimi Hendrix Signature 1967 SG Custom was introduced in late 2020. Despite the name, this model is not a dedicated reissue of a 1967 SG Custom, because it lacks the heel design used in 1967 and just has the same heel as the '63 Custom Reissue, as well as having a different nut width, different pickup magnets and other smaller discrepancies from a 1967. This was the first SG to use Gibson's '68 Custom pickups.

Also includes Hendrix™-branded Truss Rod Cover, Certificate of Authenticity, 5 Hendrix™ picks and limited edition 5"x7" archival print of Jimi Hendrix signed by engineer/producer Eddie Kramer.
