Gibson SG

Epitomizing rock and roll attitude, the Gibson SG is an iconic solid-body electric guitar known for its distinctive double-cutaway "devil horns" design, exceptional playability, and powerful tone. Introduced in 1961 as a sleeker, lighter successor to the Les Paul model (with "SG" simply standing for "Solid Guitar"), it quickly carved its own niche in music history. Popular models like the SG Standard, SG Special with its raw P-90 pickups, and the luxurious SG Custom have seen countless variations over the decades, consistently offering supreme upper-fret access and comfortable, fast necks. This legendary Gibson electric guitar has been the weapon of choice for a pantheon of influential guitarists, including the relentless riff-master Angus Young of AC/DC, the godfather of heavy metal Tony Iommi, the soulful slide virtuoso Derek Trucks, and the explosive Pete Townshend during his formidable era with The Who. The SG's raw power, sustain, and versatility make it a timeless favorite for rock guitars, blues guitars, and beyond, proving its enduring appeal across genres.
