The Derek Trucks Signature SG was introduced for the 2012 model year as a recreation of Trucks’ main guitar for about a decade, a 2000 ’61 Reissue with the optional Maestro Vibrola, which he removed and had a stopbar tailpiece installed, while keeping the vibrola’s frame and cover. He also removed the pickguard. It was reintroduced with minor changes for the 2014 model year. This is one of the 2014’s.
