Gibson SG Standard

The Gibson SG Standard is the most popular iteration of Gibson's famous rock machine. The SG is available in various models, both vintage and contemporary. More than any other model, the SG Standard is the one people seem to love the best! Angus and Tony both played SG Standards so this may account for at least part of the popularity!

The Gibson SG Standard is a relatively simple design. The body is a flat piece of Mahogany with heavily contoured edges. The neck is also Mahogany, glued in place to make the guitar one singular mass of vibrating wood. Two humbucking pickups supply the devastating crunch. The slightly slimmer body size allows a little more top end bite than other Gibson solid body guitars. This slimness also makes the Gibson SG a light weight guitar to hang from your shoulders, another big reason for its success!

The Gibson SG Standard is, according to multiple sources, the most popular Gibson guitar of all time.
