Description
Introduced in 1961, the Special slotted above the Junior and below the Standard. It was produced continuously for a decade, before being effectively replaced in mid-1971 by the SG Pro. However, it quickly returned in mid-1972, now featuring mini-humbuckers. It continued production until 1977 and was effectively replaced again, shortly by an unlisted model, the Standard/Special, and then by The “SG” / Firebrand until being reintroduced in 1983, now featuring full-size humbuckers for the first time. In 1992, it was redesigned along with the Standard, and was produced for the next 20 years in that style.In 2019, the Special Faded was effectively replaced by the new Standard Tribute model.
