Gibson SG Select Electric Guitar (with Case)
The Gibson SG Select starts with all the power and punch that has made the SG one of the most popular guitars of all time, then adds the beauty of flame maple. With a body carefully carved from solid, bookmatched AAA flame maple, and a three-piece maple neck, the SG Select highlights the wood's natural elegance, as well as its incredibly resonant, singing tone.

Sound
The solid maple body on this one makes for great sustain and a unique sound that is very desirable. Goes from great highs to growling lows and everything in between. Awesome sound, unreal clarity, great guitar.
Features
Every part of this guitar catches your eye and draws it to the excellent craftsmanship. Flawless.
Ease of Use
The chunkier neck takes a little getting used to ~10 minutes:)
The Wow Factor
The triple flame maple body is sexy, we're going steady now

"Best SG ever"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This is the guitar I have always wanted, and if I could only have one, this would be it. I got it because I wasn't satisfied with my SG Supreme. What it misses, this gets. There is nothing I would change on this instrument. (I got the last cherry one, but the other colors are nice, too.) I've been playing for 30 years. The sad thing is I love this guitar too much. If anything happened to it I'd be heartbroken. My detatchment to the physical world is challenged by this.
Sound
The solid maple body gives this a great sound huge sustain. Both humbuckers are awesome alone and together. Others have described the sound as "like crystal."
Features
I like having separate volume and tones controls for each pickup. It is also insanely beautiful.
Ease of Use
Here's the thing, it's an SG, but it's not neck heavy! The heavier-than-mohogany body perfectly balances on the strap.
Quality
Flawless.
Value
You can get a lot of other great guitars for less money, and many will compare favorably. There are Gibson Custom shop models for less. But this is a unique guitar for many reasons, and at least in some ways, the best SG ever made.
