This year marks the 60th anniversary of Gibson’s iconic SG, and though it experienced slightly awkward & laboured beginnings, it went on to prove itself as the company’s true bastion of rock! Gibson’s winning formula of recreating its heritage models with incredible detail flourishes here, with the introduction of the company’s greatest departure in the solid-body guitar game, ever. The SG’s legacy is etched in to the minds of guitar fans all over the world, and these anniversary models, now featuring a ‘Custom’ variant for the first time, does that legacy justice.
We wanted to take the opportunity to explore the unique properties of this classic design, discussing the nuances that set the SG apart as a seminal instrument in its own right, as well as talking through some of the elements that uniquely define this specific anniversary model.
Jack explains how this guitar could well be the turning point for any double-cut sceptics, and offers up a new perspective on classic Gibson tone, that only the SG can deliver!
Most importantly, what do YOU think of the SG? Is it a true classic, as proposed here, or do you simply consider it the Les Paul’s anaemic cousin? Let us know in the comments below!
