(prHWY.com) December 25, 2012 - Lowa, IA -- Other than perhaps Tony Iommi, Angus Young is the guitarist most notoriously linked with the Gibson SG. As lead guitarist of AC/DC, Angus has practically become a spokesperson for the guitar making it just as famous as his school boy outfit.
The Gibson Angus Young Signature SG is a faithful reproduction of Young's trademark axe, even down to the worn engraving on the Lyre Vibrola tailpiece. With a mahogany body and neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl trapezoid inlays, single-bound neck, nickel hardware, a '57 Classic humbucker (neck), an Angus Signature humbucker (bridge), and devil graphic on headstock it is just as fun to look at as it is to play. Unlike most SGs, the Angus signature features a Vibrola tailpiece, making this a standout guitar among the hundreds of different models available.
Popular for its wide range of tones, sleek look and durability, the Gibson SG has attracted rockers like Angus Young, who inspired a whole wave of rock guitarists to come. Continuing the manufacture of Limited Editions, the Gibson Custom Shop has offered its reproduction of one of the world's most renowned SGs in the form of the Angus Young SG. The Limited Edition keeps intact the tone, look and feel of the previous models but updates this legendary guitar with custom modifications requested by Angus himself. The Custom Shop Angus Young SG with the total units of 250 will also have the privileged 50 signed by Angus himself to be sold with a custom Certificate of Authenticity, a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, and a full range of owner's manuals and instruction sheets.
The Gibson SG electric guitar with its simple ingredients of thin, all-mahogany body and neck and two Gibson humbucking pickups offers many variations and finishes on the basic body style, and this is what made it the "fastest neck in the world." Price starting from $3617 to $9409, the new limited editions can be ordered at Gibson.
