Gibson SG

Behold, the Gibson SG. The Devil horns. The twin humbuckers. The no nonsense“I don’t need no stinkin’ figured maple top” attitude.

And, believe it or not, the best-selling Gibson of all time.

The SG is everything great about a humbucking solid body with none of the distractions. You won’t find elaborate colors, or fancy binding, or any other self-righteous nonsense. What the SG does have is everything you need to rock:

  • Solid mahogany? Check!
  • Easy access all the way to the 22nd fret? Check!
  • Light enough to rock all night and not throw your back out? Check!
