It really is special!

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2000
The Bottom Line: One of the best in this price range...a beautiful guitar for an affordable price.
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 can...

GIBSON SG SPECIAL GUITAR

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent way for a person with limited means to own a Gibson.

SG Simplicity

Date of Review:  May 25, 2001
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.
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...

Classic SG tone without alot of fluff

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Gibson SG special is a great choice if you want an american built guitar with a great reputation for quality for under $1000.
Review: Introduction
I have owned and played many guitars over the years but one model that has slipped past me until recently was the Gibson SG. Don't get me wrong, I like the SG. It is just that I really like my well worn Gibson Les Paul and always...

Gibson SG Special: A Guitar That Really Rocks!

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Gibson SG Special is a great guitar, and better than the Gibson Les Paul Special in my opinion.
Review: The Gibson SG Special and the Gibson Les Paul Special are the least expensive variants of each guitar in the Gibson line. I wasn't so hot about the Les Paul since Gibson ditched the archtop design, but the Gibson SG Special is definitely a different...

inexpensive yet reliable

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you want a Gibson on a budget, this guitar is one of the best choices.
Review: I used to use the practice rooms at the military base which was open to military personnel and guests (like me) and they provided instruments in soundproof rooms with instruments. They had Yamaha drums, a Squier P-Bass, a Squier strat with locking...

An affordable rock classic

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for that '70 rock sound but cannot afford a more expensive guitar - search no more.
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...

Gibson SG Special

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2000
Review: The Gibson SG Special is the best guitar available for it's price. It's got a great feel, great look, and most importantly, a great sound.

This guitar has a retail price of about $999, but you can very easily find one for $650 or less. The...

Gibson SG Special Limited Edition

Date of Review:  May 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Light, versatile, good tones, money well spent.
Review: This is sort of an unusual version of the lower priced SG Special in that it features an ebony fingerboard and gold hardware. Like the Special, it is equipped with the 490T bridge and 490R neck humbucker pickups. I like these fine, although if given...

Special by name , special by nature!

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2004
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...
