Born from the instrument that helped shape a modern rock voice, the Gibson Jake Kiszka SG Standard channels the look, feel and response of the Greta Van Fleet guitarist’s treasured early-’60s SG. This artist signature SG electric guitar pairs a solid mahogany body and SlimTaper neck with a rosewood fingerboard and 24.75″ scale length for a fast, familiar Gibson feel with easy string tension and expressive bending. T-Type humbuckers deliver clear, punchy output suited to dynamic rhythm and lead work, while a key visual hallmark—the Sideways Vibrola cover—remains in place but is internally secured and non-functional, preserving vintage styling without compromising tuning stability. Finished in Faded Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and built in Gibson’s Nashville factory, this limited-edition model offers a refined take on a classic SG for players seeking expressive rock tone with modern reliability.
Mahogany SG Construction With Classic Double-Cut Access
The foundation of the Jake Kiszka signature SG Standard is a solid mahogany body paired with a glued-in set neck, delivering the midrange focus, sustain and immediate attack that define the SG sound. The set-neck construction enhances resonance and note bloom, while the double-cutaway shape and deep beveling provide unobstructed access to upper frets for lead playing and extended phrasing. Lightweight and balanced, the guitar stays responsive in the hands, making it equally effective for tight rhythm work and expressive solos.
SlimTaper Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard and Classic Gibson Feel
The mahogany neck features Gibson’s SlimTaper profile, offering a fast, controlled feel that accommodates wide bends, vibrato and fluid melodic lines. A rosewood fingerboard with a 12″ radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provides a smooth, consistent playing surface, while acrylic trapezoid inlays maintain the traditional SG aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Graph Tech nut supports stable tuning and smooth string travel, reinforcing reliability during long sessions and performance use. Combined with the shorter Gibson scale length, the neck feels comfortable and responsive without sacrificing precision.
T-Type Humbuckers With Versatile Rock Voicing
A T-Type Rhythm pickup in the neck and T-Type Lead pickup in the bridge deliver a balanced voice with clarity, punch and definition across a range of gain settings. The neck position offers warmth and fullness for chords and sustained passages, while the bridge pickup provides articulation and edge for riffs and lead work that need to cut through a mix. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, featuring Orange Drop capacitors, provide a familiar layout that allows players to shape tones quickly without disrupting workflow.
Vintage Style With Stability-Focused Hardware
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard pairs an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stop bar tailpiece to provide precise control over intonation and action, ensuring consistent performance across the fretboard. The Sideways Vibrola cover reflects the appearance of Jake’s original instrument, but the unit is internally secured and does not function as a vibrato system, preserving a vintage aesthetic. Lastly, Gibson Deluxe tuners and nickel hardware support reliable tuning.
Jake Kiszka Signature SG for Expressive Rock Players
As the guitarist for Greta Van Fleet, Jake Kiszka has developed a style rooted in classic rock tradition yet defined by dynamic phrasing, control and tonal nuance. His signature model reflects that approach through its combination of SG construction, responsive electronics and stability-focused hardware. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer for a resonant, natural feel and crafted in Gibson’s Nashville factory, the Jake Kiszka SG Standard marks a focused interpretation of a classic SG shaped for modern rock musicians.
