(prHWY.com) January 7, 2013 - Lowa, IA -- The Angus Young Signature Gibson SG is a limited edition SG that has been designed to faithfully replicate the Scottish Rocker's SG as he uses in AC/DC. This will be a collector's item because of the limited run model. It features the double cutaway mahogany body with a 24.75" scale 22-fret mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with a devil graphic on headstock. There are pearl trapezoidal inlays.
It looks just like a classic SG because of its aged cherry finish and single-bound neck give a deep color and tone. The neck pickup is a 1957 Classic Humbucker (humbucking = hum reducing) that has all the bite that the SG is known for. The Bridge Pickup is the Angus Signature humbucker for full low end rhythm that put out a lot of signal. The humbucker design is basically two single coil pickups that are ran together so they in effect cancel out any hum that are usually associated with single coil pickups.
The thing that really stands out about this guitar is the massive Maestro Lyre Vibrola tremolo. This is also vintage designed and is engraved with the word "Angus" and cool looking lightning bolts. The hardware is all nickel including the tremolo, and pickup covers. The machine heads (tuners) are the classic Green Key tuners that are light green in color.
The volume and tone knobs are Black Witch hat with silver inserts. Also the pickup selector switch is a 3-way switch. The Bridge is an Adjustable Stopbar Tailpiece. Its stopbar tailpiece may be adjusted up or down to change the downward pressure across the bridge. There is usually no need to adjust the stop-bar unless the strings are moving out of the saddles, in which case the stopbar should be lowered.
