Gibson SG Electric Guitar

Gibson SG Electric Guitars were first introduced in 1961 and are still in production to this day. Essentially designed as a makeover of the traditional Les Paul, Gibson SG electric guitars feature a thinner body with sharp "horns" at the top. The horns provide a double cutaway that both reduces the weight of the guitar body and also allows easy access to the higher frets. In addition, it gives the guitar a slightly sinister look that appeals to hard rockers like Angus Young of "AC/DC", who has a custom model of SG guitar. Other players of Gibson SG electric guitars include Tony Iommi of "Black Sabbath" and Pete Townsend of "The Who". Jimmy Page of "Led Zeppelin" had a custom double neck SG guitar, which he used to play "Stairway to Heaven."

A recent reissue of Gibson SG electric guitars was based on the Young's custom model. The reissue of the Angus Young signature guitar features a "Signature" treble pickup as well as a "Classic" rhythm pickup for exceptional sound quality. The unique body shape, a slim neck, and light weight make playing Gibson SG electric guitars almost effortless. Like many other models of Gibson guitars, they are known for the excellent tone and sustain.

The current line of Gibson SG electric guitars features two Alnico magnet humbucker pickups, two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way switch for flexibility of sound and musical style. A mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, a "tune-o-matic" bridge and chrome hardware complete the classic styling. You can also choose between classic wine red or ebony finishes to suit your tastes.

Gibson SG electric guitars, particularly the SG Special model, are nicely priced as well as provide an exceptional combination of quality and value – a great fit for amateur, semi-pro, and even professional guitarists. If you're looking for a high-quality, reasonably priced electric guitar known for durability and excellent sound, try one of the line of Gibson SG electric guitars. It will definitely become a favourite addition to your collection.
