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.

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.
