Kirk Douglas bears many titles: guitarist, Gibson aficionado, Captain. As a guitarist in the world-famous band The Roots, “Captain” Kirk Douglas’s musical chops stand out on stage with his band whether on their own or on television as the house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Douglas’s expertise with a Gibson in hand led to the development of this knockout of an instrument – the Gibson Kirk Douglas Signature SG.
Crafted in collaboration with Gibson, this SG creates an experience that one would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. A classic SG mahogany body and neck keep the playing experience streamlined while a customized set of pickups summon tones crafted for the Captain himself. Three Gibson BurstBucker pickups produce the kick and tone that are both unique to Douglas and undeniably Gibson. Each pickup is individually controllable with volume and coil-spitting capabilities for a versatile tonal experience. Along with a wide tonal spectrum, the Kirk Douglas Signature SG specializes in smooth playability and sleek aesthetics with a Tune-O-Matic bridge, Graph Tech nut, a striking finish and white fretboard binding.
The creativity and expertise put into crafting this SG is clear to see. A modern champion of the SG, “Captain” Kirk Douglas has crafted a unique legacy all his own and this guitar is an outstanding testament to it.
