Gibson SG Manual

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.

Introdus in 1961, Gibson SG este cea mai vanduta chitara Gibson din toate timpurile si este sinonim cu Angus Young (chitarist principal AC / DC), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) si Robby Krieger (The Doors). SG a fost produs initial ca o versiune „de productie in serie” mai usor de fabricat a Les Paul, ale carei vanzari scadeau la acea vreme, dar SG solid („chitara solida”) a devenit in curand un instrument venerat in sine dreapta.
