When it comes to the classics, sometimes you just have to have it original and it doesn't get much more classic than Gibson's legendary SG, a rock and blues icon since its introduction in 1961. The new SG Original from Gibson USA brings back the look, feel, and tone of the most desirable SG Standards ever made, thanks to the use of Grade-A tonewoods, exacting specs, and premium hardware and pickups. From the slim '60s neck profile, to the trim early '60s headstock shape and smaller '61 pickguard, to the tonally rich and versatile '57 Classic humbucking pickups, to the vibrola tailpiece with "lyre" cover, the SG Original nails the vibe of the seminal SG in every respect, bringing you a stunning "reissue" style guitar at an impressively affordable price. With its high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in Vintage Cherry, complemented by acrylic trapezoid inlays, it looks superb, too, and offers the unparalleled playability you only get from a genuine Gibson.

This might be a bit long, but I wanted to leave a good review on this INCREDIBLE instrument. I would like to start off saying that I am completely blown away by this guitar. I put my order in on Friday afternoon at about 4:30 and the guitar arrived on my porch on Saturday morning before 11:00. I ran up the stairs like a little kid and ripped the box open in thirty seconds flat. As soon as I opened the case and saw the guitar, my tongue rolled out of my mouth and hit the ground like a cartoon. Love at first sight. Absolutely astonished. Immediately, I strapped it on my shoulder and plugged it right into my amp. I instantly fell in love right away. I couldn’t stop playing it. You can get any sound out of this guitar. Those ‘57 classics are no joke. From freakin’ Hall and Oates to Megadeth. You can get any sound you want out of this guitar. The tone is so crispy, fat, gritty and warm all at the same time. I do not own one guitar that sounds even remotely close to this one and I have over twenty guitars ( five SG’s. ) I love it even more than my 1974 Gibson SG Standard and that guitar is amazing. This blows it away. I honestly have no words for it. You have to experience it yourself. From the Maestro Vibrola to the luscious Aged Cherry finish, this guitar is easily the most beautiful guitar in my entire collection. I’ve never ripped my wallet out of my pocket so fast to pay for something. I couldn’t wait to give them my money. TAKE IT!! Do not sleep on this guitar because… read more before you know it, it will be discontinued and you will be unable to finance it through here and will have to buy it somewhere else. You cannot beat that $166 a month. If you’re especially a fan of vintage SG’s, buy this guitar right now. Before you can’t anymore. I give it a 10/10 in all aspects and I can be very picky. You will love it. Trust me.
