The Bottom Line: The Gibson SG Special is a great guitar, and better than the Gibson Les Paul Special in my opinion.

Review: I've played a couple of different SG's and it's about time to do a review. SG special one of the cheapest Gibson guitars. First it was introduced as Les Paul's upgrade in 1959. Gibson stopped Les Pauls' production and put a new model under the same name. ...

Pros: Comfortable to play, sounds great.

Cons: What cons?

The Bottom Line: If you havent tried one then do so - soon!

Review: First of all I must confess that I fell in love with SGs the very first time I played one. This is the third one I have owned. The Special is the cheapest of the range but it's the details that have been cut not the quality of materials. Its my ...

Pros: Easily accessible frets, killer tone, stays in tune well and good sustain

Cons: Not enough frets, that's about it

The Bottom Line: Hey, just pick it up as soon as you get the cash. This thing is TNT! DYNAMITE!!!

Review: I picked up one of these in a Sam Ash music store the other day and was amazed by what came out of it. I've only playing guitar for 9 or so months, but I sounded so much better on this guitar than the one I currently use, a Squier Affinity Strat. I...

Pros: It plays as good as it looks.

Cons: None really.

The Bottom Line: I have respect for Gibson's production of guitars. The one thing I never liked was their look. Now, the Gibson SG Special takes care of that.

Pros: Excellent tone, Gibson quality, Lightweight.

Review: I have been playing a Gibson S-G special for about 5 years now. It has been through many gigs, and has never given me a problem yet. Well...the only problem that I came across was the tuners, but I replaced them with Grovers and now the guitar is pretty m ...
