Gibson SG Signature Angus Young

One of the most iconic people to ever use the Gibson SG was Angus Young, so it's obvious that he would get a signature model. It's a bit different from the SG Standard, but it still has some of the more obvious features. It has a mahogany body, mahogany set neck with block inlays, 22 frets, rosewood fretboard, two humbuckers, two volume knobs, two tone knobs, a tremolo system and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this model. It looks amazing, but there are some issues with this guitar. For one, it is pretty neck heavy. The neck is heavier than the body, so it tends to neck dive a bit, and it's a huge issue for me. It also is a bit harder getting up to the upper frets than some other guitars out there. The tremolo on this is interesting, and it stays in tune decently, but I'm not really a huge fan. I'd rather just have the normal hardtail that usually comes on these guitars.

SOUNDS

SGs sound extremely punchy, and this is no exception. It is tonally somewhere between a Flying V and an Explorer. They have the thickness that you'd expect from something like the Explorer, but they also have that aggression and punchy sound that the Flying V delivers. This is mainly due to its smaller, light body. I'm not a huge fan of the stock humbuckers in this, so I tend to replace them with something else. Once replaced, however, this thing totally comes to life, and it's extremely versatile thanks to the control layout.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're a fan of Angus Young, you're probably going to look into getting this model. However, I personally prefer the SG Standard. The biggest reason is because I prefer the hardtail bridge to this tremolo. I just can't get used to it, and it's probably because I use floyds more than any other tremolos. When buying one, be sure to pay attention to both the fretwork and the nut as those are the two biggest issues with Gibsons.

Manufactures in the USA nashville
22 frtes with trapezodaux repres, 2 humbuckers classic vintage 57 round level and angus young signing for the bridge (bcp more output than the 498)
the bridge is of type Vibrola with an engraving on behalf of angus
the settings are simple a Tone and volume for each pickup and a three-position selector like most about gibson
the handle is really thinner than sg std or faded and he is a hair longer but it's still the gibson (60'slim type)

USE

The handle is really clean and beautiful, ultra fast because of its delicacy, the frtes are high enough permetant a very good intonation.
the access to acute could not be easier thanks to the double cutaway (the horns if you prefer) is really a model of its kind
Ergonomics is good as it is a sg no frills is ultra lightweight (more than my faded)
to get the right sound c not very complicated branches you and you did not need to because the instrument really has character.

SONORITS

It's perfect my style of music. I play a lot of AC / DC (normal) and rock 60 '70' and blues and really gnial c.

NOTICE GLOBAL
