GIBSON SG MANUAL

Introduced in 1961 the Gibson SG is Gibsons biggest-selling guitar of all time and is synonymous with Angus Young (AC/DC lead guitarist) Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) and Robby Krieger (The Doors). The SG was originally produced as a more easily manufactured mass-production version of the Les Paul sales of which were diminishing at the time but the solid-bodied SG (Solid Guitar) soon became a revered instrument in its own right. Superbly illustrated and designed this Manual includes case studies of key models everything from a vintage SG Les Paul to a 2011 SG 50th Anniversary model but also gives appropriate attention to todays affordable Epiphone versions Specials Juniors and Melody Makers.
