Gibson SG - SG-3 Guitar Review

Estimated price : $1,500

The Gibson SG-3 pushes the power, sustain, and tonal range of Gibson’s legendary SG into new sonic dimensions. Equipped with a revolutionary 6-way guitar pickup switch and three gold-plated Gibson humbuckers—a pair of ’57 Classics in the neck and middle positions, and a ’57 Classic Plus in the bridge position—the SG-3 goes where no Gibson SG has gone before. Sporting a chicken-head knob, Gibson’s exclusive rotary selector offers six guitar pickup settings: bridge, bridge/middle, middle, middle/neck, neck, and bridge/neck. Combining unrivaled playability with an extraordinary spectrum of sweet, yet scorching humbucker tones, the Gibson SG-3 is the perfect guitar for rock, metal, and blues guitarists.
