Derek Trucks’ Gibson Derek Trucks SG Signature
Since he retired his 2000 SG Reissue guitar and switched to the Dickey Betts SG as his main axe, Derek started using a couple of guitars from his own signature line as backups. His signature model is a direct replica of his 2000 ’61 Reissue SG, which he used for more than a decade.
Derek played a few guitars from his signature line, his main one being one that was very light, which is something that he values highly in a guitar.
