« Gibson SG Standard »

Published on 11/30/03 at 15:00
I bought this baby at Guitar Center for $1069. I wanted a guitar that looked awesome, sounded awesome, and had an awesome price. I believe I achieved that goal.

I love the looks of this thing. It looks evil, without looking stupid like BC Rich guitars. It sounds amazing, from the cleans to the meanest distortion. I love it. It's light, so its easy on the back unlike Les Pauls. Many people prefer the LP to the SG, but not me. And this guitar is a very good reason why.

It's kind of fragile. I'm always worried that I'll scratch it or something. I treat this like it was my baby though. And, truth be told, it is :)

Gibson has always had top-notch construction, and this SG is a perfect example of this tradition that holds true today. From the nut placement to the tune-o-matic bridge, there is nothing wrong with it at all. I love it. This guitar will last my whole life as long as I love and take care of it, and believe me, I will.

Gibson has been and continues to be the greatest name in electric guitars. And this SG is a perfect example of why. Do your self a favor and buy this guitar.
