If you’ve heard the roar of Greta Van Fleet, you’ve heard the "Beloved"—Jake Kiszka’s battle-hardened 1961 SG. For years, fans have chased that specific blend of vintage bite and modern reliability, and Gibson has finally delivered the definitive version.
At Guitarlicious, we’ve handled hundreds of SGs, but this signature feels like a time machine that actually stays in tune.
The Legend Lands: Coming Soon to Guitarlicious Petaling Jaya
We are thrilled to announce that the Gibson Jake Kiszka SG Standard is officially COMING SOON to our store!
This isn't just another signature model; it’s a meticulous recreation of a modern rock icon's primary tool. Whether you’re a collector or a gigging musician in KL, this is the 2026 release you cannot ignore.
Why the Kiszka SG is a Modern Masterpiece
Gibson USA has balanced vintage aesthetics with the rigors of world touring. The Faded Vintage Cherry finish looks like a well-loved heirloom right out of the case.
1. Tone That Cuts Through the Mix
Equipped with T-Type Humbuckers, this SG delivers articulate clarity and high-end bite. It’s specifically voiced to handle everything from bluesy cleans to aggressive hard rock gain.
2. The "Locked" Sideways Vibrola
Visually, it’s a 1961 masterpiece, but the Vibrola is intentionally fixed. You get the stability of a hardtail bridge while maintaining the iconic look of Jake’s original guitar.
3. Elite Electronics & Feel
The SlimTaper mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard offer lightning-fast playability. Inside the control cavity, Orange Drop capacitors ensure your tone remains consistent even when you roll back the volume.
Kiszka Signature vs. Standard '61 SG: What’s the Difference?
The Standard '61 is the classic foundation, but the Kiszka model adds exclusive artist mods. While both feature the SlimTaper neck, the Kiszka version uses T-Type pickups instead of 60s Burstbuckers for more "bite."
The most obvious difference is the Vibrola cover. On the Kiszka, it’s a decorative tailpiece cover for maximum sustain, whereas the standard '61 Maestro actually moves.
