    An axe made "for those about to rock."

    The Gibson Angus Young Signature SG is a faithful reproduction of Young's trademark axe! It's exact, even down to the worn engraving on the Lyre Vibrola tailpiece. 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. Definitely a guitar that's made to rock "all night long."

    I've had this guitar for a little over 3 years now. The only problem I've had out ot it is the nut wearing out, which happens to every guitar eventually. Bone nut quickly solves that problem. Fantastic tone, amazing playability, even better looks. When being associated with a guitar player like Angus, I wouldn't expect anything less than what I got with this guitar.

    I bought the Gibson Angus Young SG after seeing ACDC about five months ago and am NOT disappointed!  The action is very low without creating buzz, allowing the player to emulate Angus' many single-handed solos.  I run the guitar through a Marshall stack with the gain at 4-5 for a PERFECT ACDC sound.  No need for pedals! The only minor downfall is that it falls out of tune relatively quickly with new strings, but if you don't change them frequently (like I do) it is really not a problem and stays in tune better with time.

    I received this guitar on September 15th, 2006, and will never forget that day.  When I opened up the case, the guitar was illuminated in a golden beam of light that shined down from the heavens.  Be warned, this is no ordinary SG. this IS THE guitar.  I adjusted the action slightly with the bridge, and is now even better.  The pickups are nice. You can play anything from hard AC/DC (which is what it is built for) to smooth mellow sounds.  If you have the money for this guitar, I HIGHLY recommend it.  And if you play it through a Marshall like me, its basically god.

    I could not believe that the Inspection Department at Gibson would not see the issues that I had with my Angus SG. The truss rod cover was at a 30' angle out of square with the strings. The A string was so far off center at the bridge pickup, about an eighth of an inch, that I had to replace the saddles. I should have sent it back but it was something that was fixable. Shame on Gibson's Quality Control process.

    This is THE guitar that made me pick up the guitar in the first place. I was lucky enough to play this amazing instrument and it blew me away! The first thing that struck me was the looks. This is perhaps the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. The finish is exquisite, the Lyre Vibrola is amazing (at least to look at) and the nickel hardware complements the red and black body very nicely. Secondly the tone and high output of the pickups is great for Sabbath, Zeppelin (with some slightly modified wiring that is) and obviously AC/DC. You can even get modern metal sounds from Ang's signature pickup(its almost easier to get those sounds than AC/DC ones). I love AC/DC and this guitar looks soo close to Angus's original SG even though he doesn't use his signature SG or his signature pickups you have to understand that they were built with Angus to get as close to Ang's favorite guitars as possible. As for the negatives the tremolo does not keep in tune well nor do the stock tuners but I just don't use the trem (niether does Angus) and the tuners are no big deal to replace if you really want to. I saw no other issues with the guitar, craftsmanship is excellent. I just hope they don't stop making them before I can scrape together the cash to buy one.
