Gibson SG - Select Guitar Review

Estimated price : $3,000

Starting with all the power and punch that has made the Gibson SG one of the most popular guitars of all time, the Gibson SG Select adds the beauty of flame maple. With a body carefully carved from solid, bookmatched AAA flame maple, and a three-piece maple guitar neck, the Gibson SG Select highlights the wood’s natural elegance, as well as its incredibly resonant, singing tone. Not only is the Gibson SG Select Gibson’s most exquisite SG, it also has incredible projection and detailed clarity. Powerful 490R and 498T humbuckers and gold hardware continue the theme of beauty and brawn, allowing the Gibson SG Select guitar to set a new standard for singing sustain and handcrafted allure.
