Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am 36 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 18. I've been playing the Gibson sg series for 10 of those years. Of course, I own a Fender Strat, a Washburn and an Ibanez as well, nothing beats the sound and feel of a Gibson. This guitar is geared for some serious rock and roll and metal. Gibson uses the best wood, the best pick ups, and the best electronics. The black finish shines like a brand new sports car and I love the inlays on the fret board. The neck has a very good feel and plays quickly for me. I really love this guitar and I'm sure you will as well.

When will you add your name?
Solid Mahogany Body
Probably the most central of all SG features is its solid mahogany body. The mahogany goes through the same rigorous selection process as all of Gibson's woods, and is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. Inside the Gibson factories, humidity is maintained at 45 percent, and the temperature at 70 degrees. This ensures all woods are dried to a level of "equilibrium," where the moisture content does not change during the manufacturing process. This guarantees tight-fitting joints and no expansion, and controls the shrinkage and warping of the woods, in addition to reducing the weight. It also improves the woods' machinability and finishing properties. Consistent moisture content means that the SG will respond evenly to temperature and humidity changes long after it leaves the factory.
Gibson's 490R and 498T pickups give you the tonal characteristics of an original PAF, but with a slight increase in upper mid-range response.
