x Loog 3-String SG, Cardinal Red
Make learning to play guitar fun and easy with Gibson x Loog—instruments built for small hands and big imaginations Gibson has partnered with Loog®, the award-winning children’s guitar brand, to introduce a line of three-string guitars. Designed to be approachable and inspiring for kids, the Gibson x Loog SG™ has been specifically developed to make learning guitar easy and fun. Though small in size, this guitar is powerful in sound and makes no compromise on quality or style while being much easier to grasp with smaller hands. The Gibson x Loog SG offers simplified playability and authentic electric guitar sound. Crafted with real guitar components, the three-string setup simplifies chords, allowing youngsters to play songs and easily build confidence much faster than they can with a full-sized guitar. The Gibson x Loog SG has a poplar body with a vibrant, gloss polyurethane Cardinal Red finish. The short-scale (20.6” / 524 mm) bolt-on Canadian maple neck has a 1.14” / 29 mm nut width, making it the ideal size for small hands to hold. The rosewood fretboard has 19 frets and white plastic position markers for a clear visual reference. The headstock has a bone nut and three maintenance-free die-cast tuning machines for easy, reliable tuning. The other ends of the strings are anchored to a custom Gibson x Loog Lightning Bar Wraparound bridge for stability and tone. The three strings are tuned exactly the same as the three highest-pitched strings of a standard, full-sized, electric guitar (1st E: .011”, 2nd B: .015”, 3rd G: .019”), and the light strings are easy to press down and gentle on the fingertips. The strings can also be tuned to open tunings like Open D or Open G for even easier playability. The Gibson x Loog SG is equipped with a custom Gibson x Loog single-coil Dogear pickup that delivers real electric guitar tone. The controls are kept to a minimum, with a single volume control with an easy-to-grip black Top Hat knob. A standard 1/4” output jack lets you connect to any standard guitar or headphone/practice amp. Each guitar also comes with Loog’s signature learning tools, including flashcards, an app with video lessons, and a Gibson x Loog activity book. Additional accessories, from straps to soft cases, are also available. Start your child’s musical journey and a lifetime of musical enjoyment by encouraging their creativity with an instrument built for their small hands and big imaginations.
