Good one to have
Published on 11/07/11 at 11:57The Gibson SG almost looks like devil horns if you have ever seen this guitar a red painted version. It has two forms for the body which is very similar to a Gibson Les Paul guitar which it actually is a progression of that guitar but also a little bit mixed in between that any Fender Stratocaster guitar. The body of the guitars little thinner than the Gibson Les Paul sick it's a nice warm tone but a little bit thinner tone and more focused tone. The sound of the instrument is very Gibson and not unmistakable from its other product.

Solid mahogony body
Gold hardware
ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stopbar or Maestro tailpiece

SOUNDS
These guitar sound great and most rocket hard rock and metal situations. The sound okay in clean settings they really excel with a lot of distortion and a lot of volume. They have two home book or pick ups installed and the guitar and they just have a very focused tone that is great for overdriven guitar amplifier settings. If you've ever heard any AC/DC music before that you've heard this guitar. Angus Young of AC/DC is use this guitar pretty much exclusive throughout their musical career.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars can range from anywhere between $1200 Dollars all way up to $3000 or so. The great instruments and have a great feel and tone overall. One thing I really like about these guitars is that you can reach the higher frets a lot easier you can with the Gibson Les Paul guitar. The cutaway in the center body allows you to solo and reached the higher frets much easier.See less00
