Light weight, incredible playability, and the tone that launched a billion riffs.
The Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar is one of the most popular incarnations of the legendary Gibson SG. It takes the best of the '62 original and adds the longer and sturdier neck joint of the late '60s models. All the classic features you'd expect from a historic guitar. Hot humbuckers go from rich, sweet lightning to warm, tingling waves of sustain. A silky-fast rosewood fretboard plays like a dream. The original-style beveled mahogany body looks like a million bucks. Plus, there's a tune-o-matic bridge and chrome hardware. Limited lifetime warranty. Includes hardshell case.
Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar Features:
- Double-cutaway beveled mahogany body
- Set mahogany neck with rounded profile
- Bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays
- Tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece
- Chrome hardware
- 490R humbucker in the neck position
- 498T humbucker in the bridge position
- 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, 3-way switch
- 24-3/4" scale

An SG Is All You Need
The Gibson SG Standard is the only guitar you'll ever need (besides a Gibson Les Paul) for MANY reasons. This axe is absolutely astounding! The tone out of the humbuckers can climb anywhere from harsh Metal to rolling Jazz/Blues tunes. It's got the bite you need but the sustain to keep you playin' all night long. It looks great and has serious presence on stage. It's also really thin and light compared to a Les Paul (but any guitar is) so you can really whip it around on stage. It will up your sound and up your stage presence too... for those of you that actually play on stages. Overall a great buy and a greater guitar. Later.

How does it get better?
What sounds harder or looks cooler? The Gibson SG is the kind of guitar everyone envies when you pull it out of its case. It draws attention on stage and off, and has the sound to back it up. The two high quality pickups produce a growl that will rock the smallest club to the largest arena. The construction is solid and the hardware top notch. Overall, the best guitar I have ever played, and it will be with me for a long time. If you have a choice between another guitar or a Gibson, the choice is obvious.

Great Gibson
This is the standard Gibson SG. I want to elaborate on the word STANDARD. Because it is VERY STANDARD. It's a great gibson overall, it beats the heck out of all my Fender Strats, but it just doesn't fill that hole that all musicians have in their soul. The pick-ups are alnico pickups, so they aren't as strong as Burstbuckers or 57 humbuckers, but they're okay. I personally prefer the Les Paul studio over this, but if you want to go to the farthest, get the best, and get a SG 61 Reissue. I still think this is a great guitar, and anyone would be lucky to have it.

Gibson SG Standard
I bought the Gibson SG in a Heritage Cherry finish about a year and a half ago, and it performs brilliantly. The classic tuners included stay rock solid, the bridge saddles have never needed to be adjusted, the inlays were set into the fretboard cleanly (no epoxy on the sides), and the pickups sound amazing. This is a decent guitar for soloing, but doesn't quite have that sustain that a Les Paul has. However, this guitar really shines for rhythm. Flip the pickup switch to the middle position and you'll get some of the warmest, meatiest humbucker tones ever heard. Single note runs and chickin' pickin' don't go over too well with the SG, but the sheer power and warmth of the humbuckers warrants getting or at least trying out this guitar. The price is a little high, but if you have the cash, do yourself a favor and indulge yourself.

Amazing :]
This guitar is amazing... I have very small hands and most guitars are hard for me to play such as my acoustic Fender. It was so fun to play and I hope to own one soon. :]
