Gibson Jake Kiszka SG Standard Faded Vintage Cherry
Jake Kiszka, guitarist and founding member of Greta Van Fleet, has carved out a signature defined by intensity, nuance, and creative vision. The signature is based on his 1961 SG model.
“The ’61, this particular model, has defined me as a player, and I think I’ve defined it in return.”
This limited-edition instrument pays tribute to the legendary ’61 SG. Its SlimTaper neck, carved from mahogany, invites expressive playing along a rosewood fretboard fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and accented by glowing acrylic trapezoid inlays.
The strings ride across an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge for complete control over action and intonation, then anchor into a stoptailpiece concealed beneath a decorative Sideways Vibrola cover. Mirroring the appearance of Jake’s own 1961 SG, “the Beloved,” while providing the stability and performance of a fixed tailpiece. Once a tool for experimental bends and shimmering effects, the immobilized Vibrola now serves as a visual homage.
Jake also opted for subtle updates to the electronics compared to a vintage 1961 SG. His model features a pair of T-Type humbuckers, a duo capable of delivering searing highs, articulate clarity, and dynamic punch. Each pickup is paired with independent volume and tone controls, complemented by Orange Drop tone capacitors.
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard features a Faded Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and ships in a black Modern hardshell case emblazoned with a Jake Kiszka doubloon logo graphic. The guitar arrives with a standard backplate installed, and the case includes a separate hand-signed and stamped Jake Kiszka backplate, along with a custom leather strap enhanced with a metallic coin pendant designed by Jake.
Available only in limited numbers, this is your chance to make it your own.
