Geff Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It is the sexiest shape in guitar history. Looks good, sounds good, wont snap your back and cheaper than the equivalent LP would be. Need more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.young Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i love my sg because it has a sharp sting of sound and it vibrates through your spine its light and nimble but still gives force i love my sg because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I love my SG because you plug in, you play and you start to dream !!! I never had an axe so comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 why? that's simple... Tone, Tone, Tone. nothing sounds like an overdriven SG. ...and ya, they're comfy to play and look really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It's a versatile guitar. My SG can go from a quiet whisper to screaming bloody murder. Plus, it's my favorite design for an electric guitar. Ever. My first real electric guitar was an SG. I got it when I was 16. I'm 32 now, and I still have it. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Frame Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm used to playing rather heavy guitars as Les Pauls n' 335's, but I have had a soft spot for a SG since "Live at Leeds" with the Who...in october I was in San Francisco and found a Gibson SG Classic with P90ths....to my surprice it felt as good as it looked! And the P90ths on this ex was brilliant...I love to use a crunch sound as standard and the singel coils are tops for "almostclean" when turned down:) Suddenly it's my main guitar, in competition with a 335 pro-82 and a Fender Esquire-66 Not bad for a -04 SG!!!

rawg71 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi guys...first post here responding to the myspace bulletin....I have a '72 SG that I have customized (because I found it in rather poor condition when I acquired it) now its a Gem....the reason I love it is because of the neck access when wearing a strap live...its like it was built to be played standing...I have never found a guitar that sets so well in a strap...or felt so good....it seems to defy guitar physics by being light at the same time sounding ballsy...I am totally salivating over the raw power maple neck SG and I soooo wish I could afford one-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 This one has incredible tone. Doesn't look too shabby, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrvegas Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The action is the best out of anything I've owned and the sustain is incredible. Very smooth playing guitar.:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickey Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I bought my '61 not so much to use on gigs alot (I'm a Tele picker;no more expressive guitar in the world!) but It was what I grew up playing exclusively in the 60's & 70's, and I just liked the look of having one around the house next to my old Pro Reverb to remind me of the good ol' days. I use it occasionally on a gig when I'm gonna be playing rock & blues, but mostly, I'm a country picker & pedal steel player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlanta Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i mostly love it cause i got it in a trade for 300 and a sans amp. its a 2004 standard!!! the thing plays and sounds like a dream. its light and way more comfy then a les paul! plus whats better than an sg standard through a jcm 900 half stack? for some reason it doesn't like florida all the time though.. weird i know.

marginwalker Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I love everything about my SG 61 Reissue...the shape, the color, the sound, the action...all add up to make the best guitar ever!

scoblitz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Because with it I could be Pete Townshend. I bought it at a local Pawn Shop 20+ years ago and it's still very much a go-to guitar when I just need to play. SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Beach Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Because any time I step on stage with it I feel incredibly empowered. when I would play another kind of guitar, i just wouldn't get the feeling, sound, and over all awesomeness of an SG. I love my SG and I won't play anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swmcv2007 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My SG is the only guitar that I can really express myself with. I actually went into a local music shop on my way back from work the other day to try out some amps. I was playing through a really nice boutique amp called a "Divided by 13" and it sounded GREAT. The only problem was that none of the guitars in the store felt right. It felt like someone else was playing through the amp. I tried almost every nice Gibson and Fender in the store and I couldn't enjoy myself. The next day I brought in my SG and tried out the same amp. Pure heaven. It also helps that it always turns a few heads too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruliosis Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 There's a lot of reasons why I love my exotic Natural Burst. But I'll just put it this way:My wife is gone for good, but my SG(her name is Fangs) is here to stay forever! She listens to me.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossington88 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I Love my 2001 SG Standard, because I turned it into a Gary Rossington model before Gibson did! HA! Beat ya to the punch! Burstbucker 1, Burstbucker 2, CTS and Bumble Bee equipped. It sounds unbelievable, plays like butter!! My SG stands for "Sweet Guitar"!! Below are some pics... ENJOY!!
