The Gibson SG guitar is a classic looking guitar features to pointed horns on the top of the body. It's easier the identified and recognizable guitar that takes a lot of influence from the Gibson Les Paul but has his own personal thing going. It has a great tone to great hard rock voicing for high gain distortion and over driven sounds. It is a rock 'n roll guitar machine that will serve its user well night tonight getting into touring.

This is a throw back to the old Gibson Sg's from the 60's. It has basically everything you would expect from a guitar that was made back then. It has a great feel and a unique feel from all other Gibson guitars

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is very rich ,fat, and warm. You can get a lot of sustaining in town from these pickups and this body of mahogany wood and mahogany neck with Rosewood support. The body would lend themselves to a deep rich fat tone against the user an ample amount of driving rhythm and lead guitar talents. It sounds a lot like a Gibson Les Paul but only a little bit thinner and overall voicing. This is duty because of the center body style in law elongated neck frets. This is a classic looking guitar and a classic sounding guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend this guitar to any one is looking for a great tone machine and great guitar that will last him or her a lot of gigging and band use. This is also a great guitar for someone who wants to have a good solid sunny guitar for their home use or office use. At new you can get these guitars for ride around $1200. That's a pretty good price for Gibson last known SG guitar. I would recommend this to someone to love the tap sounds of classic rock guitar and need something that will work with modern new music is well. It's a great price and great sound for not a whole lot of money.
