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, a shape that has remained unchanged since the guitar's introduction in 1961. This double cutaway shape 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 having a pair of humbucker pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge and a 24.75" scale length - but has a slightly different sound. SG's tend to have a slightly sharper attack and have a slightly less dense sound, no doubt due to the thinner Mahogany body.
