The Gibson SG is a fantastic rock 'n roll guitar. Is one of the most iconic guitar is a Gibson or any other guitar manufacture for that matter has ever constructed. As a classic look with the two cutaways on the top and bottom of the body. It has a longer scaled length which allows even more versatility than a Gibson Les Paul. Overall this is a great sounding and playing guitar. You can get a lot of miles out of the versatility of this guitar much more than I find with a Gibson Les Paul.

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is a fantastic tone. It's a little bit thinner than what a Les Paul tone can sound like, but it has its own thing going on. I would say that this is a sick tone similar to Les Paul but yet more focused and defined. Is this solid sounding mahogany tone with its mahogany wood body in mahogany neck. What I really like about this guitar over the Gibson Les Paul is the ability to reach the higher registered frets. This allows a lot more versatility when soloing and getting up there and the higher octaves.

This guitar sounds great in any guitar amp setting. I especially like it any Marshall amplifier or a Mesa boogie amplifier. It also cleans up a little bit better than a Gibson Les Paul in my opinion which is a little bit better versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these guitars come in right around $1200 which is not a bad price for this outstanding guitar. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to take the tone of mahogany body and wants to have more versatility than a standard Gibson Les Paul. It's a great tone is a great look and it's a classic rock 'n roll guitar. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good rock 'n roll players guitar.
