Pre-Order Your “Captain” Kirk Douglas SG Now

You’ve seen him holding it down with the legendary Roots crew since 2002, both on the stage and in on the screen.  “Captain” Kirk Douglas is the funky tone-obsessed guitarist who locks into the groove with Questlove and the guys every night on Jimmy Fallon, and Gibson has recognized his voice in the guitar world by creating a very cool signature model bearing his name.  Let’s just hope he doesn’t loan this one to Prince.

So what’s different about this SG?  Well it’s a guitar that’s perfect for players “who like to tweak”, according to the Captain.  It’s a 3 pickup SG, and in addition to the coil tapped bridge and neck pickups, the coolest feature (in our opinion) is the toggle switch.  It goes beyond just switching between the 3 pickups, it can actually be twisted like a knob to blend in the level of the middle pickup.  This provides a broad palette of unique tones to work with that simply weren’t there before.  Check out the video above for a demonstration.

These guitars are on their way to The Music Zoo with a MAP price of $1,499.00.  Want one?  Let us know!
