Probett SG-teor Walnut w/Aged Gold Hardware

Damian Probett explores the question - is it possible to improve the iconic SG? The answer? Absolutely.

UK-based Damian Probett is considered by many in the boutique electric world to be one of the finest electric builders working today (count us in that camp). His name regularly appears in conversation alongside the likes of Johan Gustavsson, Gil Yaron, and Michael Stevens. With that lead in, you can imagine why we're thrilled to take delivery of this unbelievably cool SG-Teor - our first Probett in quite some time!

Using Damian's equally cool Meteor model as a jumping off point (think set neck Tele), the SG-Teor folds in, you guessed it, some SG-isms via the top carve and the slim body profile. We took it a step further and pushed this one into late '60s territory via the walnut stain and aged gold hardware. Damian lightly aged this guitar which beautifully caps of the concept.

One hallmark of a Probett guitar is its impeccable build quality. If you have a minute, head over to Damian's YouTube page (@PROBETTGUITARS) and check out his build videos. His attention to detail is remarkable and once you sit with one of his guitars, you get it. All of this 'sweating the details' leads to one result: an extraordinary instrument. To be sure, Damian's talents as a builder don't overshadow the most important aspect of a great guitar - does it have any vibe, any soul, any character? Do I want to make music on this thing?

Yes, yes, and more yes. We've said it before, but this is what separates the builders from THE builders. Folks who are capable of producing near flawless instruments that are infused with musicality and soul - via one pair of hands. Think about it - that means you have to have mastered wood working, fret work, finish work, setup, etc...that's a remarkable feat when we're talking guitars at this level.

Ok, sure - we admit, we're gushing. Hit the add to cart button and tell us we're wrong....we'll wait.
