Gibson SG

The Gibson SG is the pre-eminent choice for guitarists looking to play music of a heavier fashion. Whether your SG inspiration is Angus Young or Tony Iommi, these guitars are built for riffs! The SG is very distinctive with its slim 'devil-horned' Mahogany body. This double cutaway shape has remained unchanged since the guitar's introduction in 1961. It allows players much easier access to the very highest frets, making the instrument a hit with lead guitarists.

SG's are relatively similar to Les Paul guitars. Both typically have a pair of humbucker pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge and a 24.75" scale length. However they do have slightly different sounds. SG's tend to have a slightly sharper attack. They also have a slightly less dense sound, no doubt due to the thinner Mahogany body.

The Gibson SG is an iconic Rock guitar like no other. As one of only a handful of authorised Gibson dealers in the UK, we keep an excellent selection of Gibson SGs in every guitarguitar store. Visit your nearest store to try one out.
