No guitar is more infamous than the 2008 SG Special Robot. Introduced in late 2008, this exact model is a version two that features a more "stock" nitrocellulose finish, uncovered 490R/498T pickups and an unbound board with dot inlays.

This guitar has received a new set of Grover Rotomatics in place of its original automatic Powerhead tuning machines. This modification has bypassed the automatic tuning system in the guitar but the guitar will come with its original tuners, and two rechargeable battery packs inside the original hard shell case. The tuning system has not been tested, the guitar does not come with the original charging system.
