“The neck is as thin as Gibson could go without the liability of it snapping”: Jake Kiszka talks us through his new Gibson SG signature, a devilishly thin-necked beast built to galvanize the next generation of rock kids

Jake Kiszka poses with his signature Gibson SG Standard.

For Jake Kiszka, the guitarist of the Grammy-winning Greta Van Fleet and his new project Mirador, the Gibson SG has long been his calling card. From the moment his father drove him to a guitar shop, a young Jake became obsessed with this devil-horned Gibson, and since then, he has gone on to make the model a key part of his sound and his identity.

Now, in partnership with Gibson, Kiszka has been bestowed the ultimate honor for guitarists: his very own signature model. It isn’t lost on him.
