The unmistakable attitude of a Gibson SG, reimagined through the craftsmanship of Frank Brothers. This Radar Deluxe takes that iconic double cutaway silhouette and gives it an entirely different personality, dressed in a spectacular Midnight Blue Metallic Doghair finish that's unlike anything you'd find on a traditional SG.
And just look at that finish! The deep metallic indigo blue contrasts beautifully with the lighter grain filling, creating an almost denim-like appearance that's genuinely striking. The grain runs throughout the entire instrument, including the back of the body, neck, and headstock, giving the guitar a wonderfully cohesive look. There's incredible depth to the finish, with the metallic blue catching the light while the contrasting grain creates a rich, almost woven texture. It's absolutely gorgeous.
The appointments are equally tasteful. Covered FBGC V.O. humbuckers, a black pickguard with contrasting cream outline, vintage-style tuners with cream buttons, and classic four-knob controls give the Radar Deluxe a wonderful balance of vintage character and modern attitude. The dark Macassar Ebony fingerboard with understated dot inlays keeps everything clean and elegant, while the traditional bridge and tailpiece combination reinforces its classic roots.
What makes the Radar Deluxe so appealing is how Frank Brothers have taken the familiar ingredients of a Gibson SG and created something with a personality all its own. The Genuine Mahogany body and neck, FBGC V.O. humbuckers, beautifully coordinated appointments, and extraordinary Doghair finish come together in a guitar that feels both timeless and refreshingly different.
An absolutely stunning Radar Deluxe. Between that rich Midnight Blue Metallic finish, the almost denim-like grain, and its unmistakable SG-inspired attitude, this is one seriously cool Frank Brothers guitar.
