Own A Classic Gibson SG Guitar For Only $699
By James Grahame
Gibson now offers their USA SG Special -- a simplified version of the axe wielded by the likes of Angus Young, Tony Iommi and Robby Krieger -- for only $699. It seems the big changes from its more expensive bretheren are a downgraded pair of humbucker pickups, basic dot inlayed neck and simpler finish.
"Wicked SG attitude, in a simplified no-frills package. That’s the essence of Gibson’s SG Special. Hands down, it’s the best combination of features and value in Gibson’s iconic SG line-up. It delivers the same power and intensity, without all the non-essentials. Here’s the same dynamic, slim mahogany body and hair-trigger quick neck, combined with dot inlays, silk-screened logo, a pair of Gibson’s hot 490 humbuckers and a deluxe gig bag. The result is one rockin’ powerhouse of a guitar. Built to withstand the harshest elements."
Excellent. I've always wanted a powerhouse guitar that could withstand the fury of a harsh Siberian winter.
