Gibson produces a variety of SG-type electric guitar styles. The following is an introduction to each style (version). SG STANDARD VOS VOS---the abbreviation of VINTAGE ORIGINAL SPEC (classic original indicator) series, specializes in recreating vintage classic styles through new hand-made craftsmanship. The CUSTOM SHOP of GIBSON guitars has reproduced the SG STANDARD series after producing a variety of high-end products of the GIBSON brand. This series of products is an original replica of the product produced in 1961, so the surface of the piano body is painted with antique paint, and even the changes in the nickel metal parts after years of use are faithfully represented. . From the polishing of the body to the connection of the neck, every process is completed by hand by experienced technicians. Classic color, very distressed feel. Some people like the tone and sustain of a lightweight guitar. Although this guitar is a bit heavy, the tone is brighter and the sound from the pickup is also very clear. The vibrato produced by this particular bridge is very attractive. SG SPECIAL VOS This is one of the most complete models among CUSTOM SHOP's replica guitars. The painting and metal accessories of the body, as well as the knobs on the headstock, all give it a retro feel. The single-coil pickup and simple bridge highlight the tone suitable for rock music, which is clearly different from the SG STANDARD. The fingerboard of this model has a certain curvature, which not only improves the viewing experience, but also improves the playability. Although the P-90 is a little noisy, the tone is perfect for old-school blues or early rock. This kind of guitar is suitable for use on 1950s speakers, and it has a pure taste for playing traditional blues. This kind of bridge is also very traditional, and if played with a slide, you will get very good results. It has the right weight, looks very beautiful, and has certain collection value. SG CUSTOM VOS uses three humbucking pickups and a special bridge to create a unique vibrato sound. The SG entered the stage of history as a new model of guitar that had been improved upon by Les Paul. The prototype of this model was the Les Paul Custom. Its fingerboard is ebony, and the headstock and neck are covered with exquisite inlays. The cover plate at the neck adjustment has the words "Les Paul" written on it, indicating that the prototype of this series is Les Paul. The SG’61REISSUE Les Paul, as Gibson’s classic model, began to appear on the music stage in 1952. However, in the 1960s, as the times changed, Les Paul also made major modifications. After modifying the shape of the body and the connection between the neck and the body, a new series of products was formed. However, this series of changes were not recognized by Gibson's developer Les Paul, so this series of products created a new series in the name of "SG" (SOLID GUITAR). This guitar still retains the special features of the 1960s body guard and nickel metal parts. It can be said that it is a style that has inherited Gibson's history. The pickguard on the 61 body is smaller, and the sound is rounder and brighter than other SGs. The neck is very thin and the wood is of high quality. SG SUPREME This guitar is the most luxurious one in the SG series. Although the SG series is based on Les Paul, it does not inherit the maple and mahogany body used by Les Paul, but uses a mahogany single-board structure. However, among the SG series, only this model still maintains a maple body. In order to highlight the pattern of maple wood, there is no pickguard installed on the body, and the inlays on the neck and headstock also reflect the elegant features. The weight of maple also gives the body good balance and improves playability. The colors of SUPREME look very luxurious, which is different from ordinary SG, and the sound is also somewhat different from the traditional Les Paul. SG STANDARD The pickguard covering most of the guitar body is the most obvious symbol of the SG STANDARD series, which has attracted countless music fans since the 1960s. It embodies the clear midrange produced by the mahogany body, and uses two models of front and rear pickups, 490R and 490T respectively, to achieve the clear and bright tone of the SG series. SG SPECIAL This is a special model among SGs in which the pickup cover and fretboard inlays are simplified. When it was introduced in the 1960s, it achieved cost savings by using SG's standard body and pickguard. Since it is a low-end model introduced by SG to the market, it can be recommended to guitar enthusiasts as an entry-level SG. Its front pickup uses 490R, and its rear pickup uses 498T, which increases the output signal. The combination of this pickup and mahogany can produce SG's unique bright tone. The tone produced by the combination of the pickup and the body is perfect, and the thicker neck also has its advantages-full low frequency and sustain.
SG SPECIAL FADED 3-PICKUP This is a replica of the "SG SPECIAL" model launched by Gibson USA. Although produced in the United States, it achieves the highest cost performance. The body pickguards of this series are slightly larger than the standard size, and the front and rear pickups are equipped with 490R and 490T, which are excellent at midrange and high frequencies respectively. The painting of the guitar body also successfully reproduces the tarnishing effect caused by years of use. Moreover, because the painted surface is very thin, the texture of the wood is perfectly expressed, and perfect sound is achieved. SG SPECIAL NEW CENTURY Because the pickguard of this guitar is decorated with a mirror finish, it can be said that it has the most eye-catching appearance in the SG series. As the follow-up product of Les Paul, the SG series is famous for its bold appearance and unique sound. The look and sound of this guitar officially embodies this characteristic of the SG. Its pickups use high-output 490R and 498T, and the tone is very penetrating. This tone, like the appearance of the guitar, will attract more fans' attention on stage. SG GT This SG GT has a unique bridge guard and rich body colors, mahogany fingerboard, metal knobs and wired anti-slip sockets. These modern designs all reflect Gibson's new concept. In addition, the pickup switching and HIGH PASS FILTER function make this model of guitar produce more colorful tones. Compared with the classic model seen earlier, this guitar looks like a modern high-performance sports car. Be sure to wear your most fashionable clothes to match when you play it. Although the shape is weird, it feels very good in the hand and the sound is impeccable. SG GODDESS This SG GODDESS guitar maintains the traditional structure while refreshing the majority of players through eye-catching colors. It maintains the traditional body and installs a thinner neck, and even the nut is much smaller than the ordinary Gibson, which makes the finger movements smoother during playing. The pickup cover is made of transparent material, so you can clearly see the coil inside. Gibson Company has also prepared coils in different colors for different guitar body colors for everyone to choose from. This is the first time this type of pickup has appeared. From the name, this guitar is very suitable for girls, but from the sound, it is more suitable for heavy metal music. The bridge of this instrument is also very novel, with only volume and tone knobs. SG MENACE "Leading the trend while maintaining tradition" is the production philosophy that Gibson has always maintained. By launching this all-black guitar, Gibson has attracted more young guitarists. It uses black gloss paint, a transparent pickup cover and exquisite headstock inlays, showing a unique sense of presence. Unlike the replica of a classic guitar, this guitar embodies Gibson's most modern design concept. SG-3 This is Gibson's latest product in 2007. The unique rotary 6-stage pickup switch and three gold-plated Gibson dual pickups (the two ’57 Classics in the front and middle, and the ’57 Classic Plus at the bridge) bring SG to a new stage. The rich tone changes produced by the chicken-head knob's changeable pickup combinations make the SG-3 suitable for all music styles. SG SELECT Also the latest model, SG SELECT uses a 3A grade flame maple body and a neck made of the same material. It has gorgeous gold-plated hardware, especially the truss rod hatch cover, which highlights the SG identity. Uses 490R and 498T pickups. Angus Young Signature Model There are not many SG signature models, and AC/DC’s Angus Young signature model is one of the more famous ones, and it continues to be used. This guitar has a personal touch - a '57 Classic neck pickup at the bridge, a Little Devil logo on the headstock, a tremolo mechanism engraved with Angus' name and a custom Angus Young signature hard case. . Pete Townshend signature model The Pete Townshend signature model released in 2000 is based on the SG SPECIAL used by THE WHO band in their classic Leeds performance. It is limited to 250 pieces. The deep cherry red piano is complemented by old accessories, which makes it very contemporary. In addition to the guitar itself, its aviation case has also been carefully designed to restore the artist's own usage style. Even Pete Townshend himself said: "This guitar is amazing. It looks, sounds and feels exactly like the one I used when I played in Leeds." Tony Iommi Signature Model Tony Iommi's signature guitar was played between 1998 and 2003 It's commercially available, of course, as a regular right-handed guitar (a deluxe left-handed version was available in the Gibson Custom Shop). The guitar of the heavy metal RIFF leader of Black Sabbath is also very unique, with Iommi-style dual pickups, 24 frets, cross frets, and special 009-042 strings. Eric Clapton’s “Psychedelic SG” When Eric Clapton debuted, he was a user of two major brands, FENDER and GIBSON. In the mid-1960s, Gibson gradually became his mainstream.
Eric Clapton also contributed a lot to the return of SG to the market, replacing Les Paul. Of course, the most famous example of Gibson he used was a 1964 SG. This piano was created by the Dutch visual artist group THE FOOL and is famous for its psychedelic patterns. It was finally auctioned for $150,000 by its later owner Todd Rundgren on the New Year's Eve.
