| Known for his use of the SG Standard Reissue and a graduate of the famed Berklee College of Music, Elliot Easton has had an amazing career spanning nearly three decades. Elliot was a founding member of the groundbreaking hit makers The Cars in the 70s and into the 80s, playing lead guitar and background vocals. In the 90s, Easton joined Creedence Clearwater Revisited, the modern touring version of Creedence Clearwater Revival and is currently is a member of The New Cars, along with original The Cars member Greg Hawkes and singer/songwriter Todd Rundgren. The Elliot Easton Custom SG is the latest and most exciting edition to Gibson's Inspired By Series, a beautiful two-pickup SG Custom designed to Elliot's exacting specifications. For his Inspired By model, Elliot started with a classic three-pickup Gibson SG Custom design, and added his own unique modifications, including a neck with a 1963 ES-335 profile and a historically accurate Maestro vibrato that sports Easton's own Tiki-man engraving. This Custom SG represents another exciting collaboration between the greatest guitar builders and the most popular guitarists of all time. |
