Introduced in 1961, the Gibson SG is Gibson€s biggest-selling guitar of all time, and is synonymous with Angus Young (AC/DC lead guitarist), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) and Robby Krieger (The Doors). The SG was originally produced as a more easily manufactured €˜mass-production€ version of the Les Paul, sales of which were diminishing at the time, but the solid-bodied SG (€˜Solid Guitar€) soon became a revered instrument in its own right. Superbly illustrated and designed, this manual includes case studies of key models €“ everything from a vintage SG €˜Les Paul€ to a 2011 SG 50th Anniversary model €“ but also gives appropriate attention to today€s affordable Epiphone versions, Specials, Juniors and Melody Makers.
