Delicious Looks and Sound
This guitar has it all. Locking Grover tuners, beautiful gold hardware, and Gibson's Quick Connect pickup system. It plays fast, and is mean as hell. If an SG doesn't represent rock n' roll, I don't know what does. I use this guitar as a warmer alternate to my telecaster, so it translates very well with rock, pop, and country. The bite on this thing will leave a mark. The neck pickup is warm and rounded, and the bridge pickup has a fat twang.

Professional Sound On A Budget
I immediately fell in love after playing this guitar. The single P-90 provides a nice clarity, all while creating a nice rich sustain. This guitar is pure punk energy. Raw, loud, and mean. Whether you need a driving lead machine, or a raunchy rhythm beast, this guitar is for you.

This Thing Doesn't Stop
This was one of my first Gibson guitars I got shortly after learning to play guitar. Since receiving this guitar, it has been beaten, scratched, dinged, and had a headstock repair after it broke off. Even after all of this, it plays like nothing has ever changed. As a testament to my commitment to this guitar, I scratched my initials into the back of the cutaway horn with a pocket knife. It consistently sounds great. Having a chambered body, this guitar is a little spankier than other Les Paul's I have played. It hits a little twangier than normal, and has a much brighter response. Very tight sounding.

Solid As It Gets
My sage green metallic telecaster came modified with the generation 3 noiseless pickups, and this guitar screams. I use this for a lot of my twangier ventures, or whenever I need a nice bite from single coils. It's clear and defined, but can break up very easily. This is a great guitar for someone looking for versatility.

My Absolute Go To Guitar
I have a 2014 Traditional made for the 120th anniversary. This guitar has been one of the most reliable Guitars I have ever played. I have played with this guitar at almost every gig I've been to, and it has never let me down. It's versatility is endless. I have used it for the styles of punk, country, classic rock, pop, reggae, and almost everything in-between. Plugged into a Vox AC-15, it produces smooth buttery crunch tones, as well as warm cleans. If I'm in a live setting, or a studio session, this guitar always sounds full bodied and rich!
