Classic rock doesn't get much bigger
than AC/DC, and no one wallops out the massive, bone-crunching
tone like Angus Young on his Gibson SG. Young's incendiary tone
has inspired wave after wave of rock guitar heroes, and turned
on countless players to the power of his seminal guitar of choice,
the SG. Now the Gibson USA Angus Young SG puts all the tone and
playability of this classic double-cutaway into a signature model
made to Young's own specs. The result is an instrument with all
the punch, crunch and sizzle that Angus achieves with his treasured
SG, in a guitar that's still well within reach of the workaday
rocker.
Way back in 1961, the Gibson SG replaced the underappreciated
Les Paul Standard, and while the Les Paul would surface later
in the decade as a rock and blues classic, the new SG (originally
named Les Paul/SG) was an instant hit in its own right. Its simple
yet inspired ingredients of thin, all-mahogany body and neck
and two Gibson humbucking pickups gave it a snappy attack with
a muscular punch, while its slim, fast neck yielded unprecedented
playability.
The Gibson USA Angus Young SG not only captures the look, feel
and sound of a great SG, it also embodies some of the rare specs
and qualities of Angus's own '68 model, known to be a stand-out
example among a classic breed. Back, black and ready to rock,
the Gibson USA Angus Young SG puts the full fury of that classic
AC/DC tone in your hands.
