UNVEILS THE JAKE KISZKA SG STANDARD: A MODERN ROCK ’N’ ROLL POWERHOUSE INSPIRED BY A ’61 ICON

 

Handcrafted in Nashville, this limited-edition SG pays tribute to Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka and the legendary guitar that shaped his sound.

Jake Kiszka and his new SG Standard from Gibson.   The Jake Kiszka SG Standard captures the essence of the legendary ’61 SG through its elegant contours, deep-edge beveling, and unmistakable double‑cutaway design. Its SlimTaper™ mahogany neck leads players into a rosewood fretboard fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets, each framed by acrylic trapezoid inlays that lend an ethereal glow under the stage lights. A Graph Tech® nut and Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons provide exceptional tuning stability, making the guitar as reliable as it is expressive.   Jake Kiszka will be celebrating the launch of this new guitar at the Gibson Garage Nashville today, Thursday, April 23. Music fans are invited to join a special in-store Q&A with Jake, and Mat Koehler, Vice President of Product at Gibson, to mark the occasion. This intimate conversation will highlight Jake’s creative journey as the new signature model debuts. Fans should plan to arrive at the Gibson Garage early for guaranteed entry.   Watch the new interview with Jake Kiszka HERE.

Anchoring the guitar is an ABR‑1 Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge paired with a Stop tailpiece, positioned beneath a classic Sideways Vibrola™ cover. While visually faithful to Jake’s 1961 SG—affectionately known as the Beloved—the Vibrola unit has been intentionally locked, delivering the iconic aesthetic with the enhanced stability and functionality of a fixed tailpiece. This detail reflects Jake’s own balance of timeless character and modern performance.   Electronics have been tailored with equal precision. A pair of T‑Type humbuckers™ brings roaring dynamics, articulate clarity, and high‑end bite, giving players access to the tonal force that drives Jake’s signature sound. Each pickup is paired with independent volume and tone controls featuring Orange Drop® capacitors, ensuring a wide expressive range with exceptional tonal consistency.
