Inspired by Sadler Vaden’s number-one guitar

Guitarist, producer, songwriter, solo artist, and lead guitarist for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Sadler Vaden has been a fan of the Gibson SG™ for years. His number one guitar is a 2005 Gibson SG Standard, which was found in Memphis and gifted to Sadler by his friend, producer Paul Ebersold, 15 years ago, after Sadler’s band’s gear, including all his guitars, was stolen from their trailer in Philadelphia while they were on the road. Now, Sadler wants to share his cherished 2005 SG Standard that has been his main ride along the way. Gibson is proud to introduce the Sadler Vaden SG Standard, inspired by the 2005 SG Standard that Sadler plays at every Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit performance. 

The Sadler Vaden SG Standard features a solid mahogany body with the double-cutaway design and deep body bevels that make the SG instantly recognizable and extremely comfortable to hold and play. The Natural Burst finish, rendered in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, has been carefully matched to capture the shading of the 21-year-old aged finish of his guitar, which has warmed and browned over time.  

The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded profile that Sadler loves, and it is equipped with a rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. The headstock features the Gibson logo and crown inlaid in mother of pearl, while a Graph Tech® nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons ensure rock-solid tuning stability. For a personal touch, the two-ply black-and-white truss rod cover features Sadler’s initials instead of the usual SG engraved on the truss rod covers of 2005 SG Standards. 

The Sadler Vaden SG Standard features chrome-plated hardware, including an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, which provide full adjustability for action height and individual string intonation. 

The black, five-ply full face pickguard, often referred to as a batwing-style pickguard, is outfitted with a set of Sadler Vaden Signature humbucker™ pickups. These uncovered humbuckers have zebra bobbins and feature Alnico 2 magnets. The neck pickup features moderate output and vintage humbucker tone with a round, warm voice that doesn’t get muddy when driven, and cleans up nicely with a twist of the volume control, while the bridge pickup has higher output and a classic Patent Applied For humbucker voice with increased midrange tonality that helps single note leads cut through the mix while still sounding fat. 

Each pickup is wired to individual volume and tone controls, topped with black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors, and selected with a standard three-way pickup selector toggle switch, for a wide range of tonal options. 

The Sadler Vaden SG Standard comes packaged in a brown hardshell case along with a Sadler Vaden trading card, a collection of unique Sadler-inspired stickers, and a customized guitar strap. It’s a very special guitar that is sure to please even the most discriminating and talented players—Just ask Sadler.
