A classic standby, the SG is a piece of rock history.

Other famous historical users, including Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Duane Allman (Allman Brothers), Robby Krieger (The Doors), Daron Malakian (System of a Down), and Pete Townshend (The Who) have used the distinct sound of the SG for a wide variety of rock music. The Gibson SG guitar is a classic model, featuring a mahogany body and set neck, a bound rosewood fretboard with trapezoidal inlays, and a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers.
