…for guitarists, anyway. Kirk Douglas is famed for being the guitarist of Roots, the house band on Jimmy Fallon's late night show. As such, his playing has been seen by millions across the world, and it was high time he got his own signature guitar. It embodies his ability to play multiple styles and genres, serving as a super dynamic, high quality tool for superb music making. What's not to love?
Bursting with tone
Like a whirlwind. Burstbucker pickups are known for their vintage Gibson sound and crunchy, dynamic tone. They'll give your riffs a huge boost by making them ring out with clarity and 'burst' with harmonics. The bridge position Burstbucker offers a high output, hot sound. It creates that classic, PAF-style vintage tone, whilst adding slightly more bite and crunch for added character. Your rhythm licks will sound pristine, jumping out with energy.
The Burstbucker in the neck, which takes your tone to a different world. Oozing with a lower output magic, it makes each note fat and juicy, allowing lead licks in particular to shine through. Then there's the special middle pickup, which can be controlled by the Volume dial, letting you blend it in with the neck or bridge humbuckers. Plus the neck and bridge humbuckers can be coil-split, to unlock those chiming, punchy single coil tones in an instant. These pickups are the definition of dynamic.
Top tier playing tools
Equipped for excellence. Adorned with a beautiful rosewood fretboard, the feel of the Kirk Douglas SG is on another level. It's a wood which us guitarists love for its smoothness, warm resonance, and outstanding sustain, and it will do you proud. There's also a superbly comfortable SlimTaper mahogany neck supporting the fretboard, offering it untold smoothness and further tonal warmth to round off the ebony's brightness. You'll be able to access any fret with ease, from the first to the 22nd. Armed with these bold tools, you'll be able to shoot up and down the neck at breakneck speeds, making explosive music and playing with pinpoint accuracy.
A super special bridge
Made just for this guitar. The Tune-O-Matic bridge comes complete with a Kirk Douglas signature 'Captain' lyre tail vibrola system. This allows you to put vibrato in anything, from your riffs, to your chords, to your coffee. From an elegant shimmer to a full pitch dive, its quality construction ensures you get the perfect level of vibrato - every time.
