Gibson SG Special Electric Guitar

Consumer Rating: Gibson SG Special Electric Guitar Reviews and Ratings - Rating 4.5/5   See 17 reviews  | Write a review
Information: Product details
Manufacturer: Gibson
The original Gibson SG shattered all perceptions of what a guitar should be when it was first introduced in 1961. Today, the SG stands as one of Gibson’s most popular and best-selling guitars. Its distinct twin cutaways, pointed horns, and beveled edges have made it one of the most inspired and iconic designs in the history of guitar making. The versatile Gibson SG Special and SG Special Faded offers the best combination of features and value in the SG line, with its streamlined, solid, and lightweight mahogany body, and traditional, 22-fret mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays, and ’50s rounded profile. Add a pair of Gibson’s uncovered 490R Alnico magnet pickups—packed with traditional humbucker tone and enhanced highs—and you’ve got yourself one affordable, powerhouse SG. The SG Special is available in Ebony and Wine Red, and the SG Special Faded is available Worn Brown and Worn Cherry finishes.

Review: When I decided to invest in a quality electric guitar, I didn't have more than a thousand dollars to spare. I wasn't necessarily looking for a bargain...just something I could afford at the time. So, I start trying out some Gibson SGs. As you...

SG Simplicity

by  blac1179 ,  May 25, 2001
22 out of 22 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Light weight body, fast, chunky Gibson neck, great bottom end tone
Cons: Kluson tuners and dot inlays
The Bottom Line: The SG Special is a great overall guitar at an affordable price for a Gibson. If you need Gibson tone for under $700.00, then this might be your ticket.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Tony Iommi. Angus Young. Carols Santana. What do all of these names evoke in the guitar player's mind? The Gibson SG, of course. Each of the above skilled players, and many not named, gave the Gibson SG its popularity and stage character in the 60?s...
