Finished in black to VOS specification, it carries a subtly aged, matte-leaning vintage aesthetic that pairs beautifully with its gold hardware. Thoughtful upgrades have been made to closely replicate the SG Custom played by Angus Young during the Back in Black era, resulting in a guitar that feels instantly familiar, visually authentic and purpose-built for unapologetic rock and roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"439\" data-end=\"1086\"\u003eSeveral thoughtful changes have been made to the original Custom Shop specification to nail that era-correct aesthetic. The standard black pickguard has been replaced with a white pickguard, a defining visual cue that immediately places this guitar in classic AC\/DC territory. The original tuners have been upgraded to gold Gibson keystone tuners, further reinforcing the vintage-correct look, while the factory top hat knobs have been swapped for witch hat knobs to complete the transformation. Each of these changes is subtle on its own, but together they dramatically shift the character of the guitar into unmistakable Back in Black territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eThe SG Custom itself holds a special place in Gibson’s history. More refined than the Standard, it combines the lightweight, aggressive SG silhouette with multi-ply binding, block inlays and gold appointments. Few guitars are as closely tied to a band’s identity as the SG is to AC\/DC, and the Back in Black period in particular cemented the SG Custom as a symbol of raw, disciplined rock and roll. It’s a model that balances elegance with aggression in a way very few guitars can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1990\"\u003eTonally, this guitar delivers exactly what you’d expect. The humbuckers provide a tight, punchy midrange with plenty of bite and clarity, making it perfect for driving rhythms and searing lead lines alike. There’s that classic SG immediacy on attack, with a focused low end and a cutting top that stays articulate even when pushed hard. It’s direct, loud and unapologetic, encouraging you to dig in and turn the amp up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2272\"\u003ePlayability is excellent. The lightweight body makes it effortless on a strap, while the slim, fast neck profile feels responsive and familiar from the first chord. It’s a guitar that feels alive in the hands, whether you’re locking into rhythm work or stepping forward for leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2571\"\u003ePresented in excellent condition, this SG Custom comes complete with its original hard shell case and Gibson COA. A superb modern Custom Shop instrument with a clear nod to one of the most important guitars in rock history, it captures the look, feel and attitude that made the Back in Black SG Custom so iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2269\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2292\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2340\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2370\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 20.74mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2375\" data-end=\"2401\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 23.09mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2406\" data-end=\"2418\"\u003eNut Width: 42.42mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2423\" data-end=\"2444\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 52.18mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2458\"\u003eWeight: 3.1kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2802\"\u003eModel: Gibson Custom Shop SG Custom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2807\" data-end=\"2819\"\u003eYear: 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2824\" data-end=\"2853\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"2873\"\u003eFinish: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2878\" data-end=\"2894\"\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2899\" data-end=\"2915\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2920\" data-end=\"2940\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2945\" data-end=\"2960\"\u003eInlays: Block\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"2993\"\u003ePickups: Gibson humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2998\" data-end=\"3040\"\u003eControls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3045\" data-end=\"3061\"\u003eHardware: Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3066\" data-end=\"3109\"\u003eTuners: Gibson keystone tuners (upgraded)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3114\" data-end=\"3168\"\u003eKnobs: Witch hat knobs (replacing original top hats)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3248\"\u003ePickguard: White, fitted to replicate Angus Young Back in Black SG Custom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3253\" data-end=\"3285\"\u003eCase: Original hard shell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3290\" data-end=\"3310\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839169585471,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G26383845","price":2997.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/1_2dda78f8-6d44-41b3-bd1c-d340a9e714c9.png?v=1782095102","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-sg-custom-with-back-in-black-upgrades-usa-2022","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
