As arguably the most iconic SG player of all time, it makes sense that Gibson would give Angus Young of AC/DC a signature SG. The Angus Young Signature was modeled on the SGs of the mid-to-late '60s, complete with larger style pickguard and lyre vibrato. Uses a '57 Classic and an Angus Young Signature Humbucker

The Angus Young Signature SG introduced in 2000, was fittingly the first ever artist signature SG model. While not a direct copy of any particular SG that Angus used, it was styled generally after the 1966-1971 Batwing style SGs Angus played most often in his early career. However, one feature was inspired by a specific SG of his; the neck profile of his very first SG, which was very thin. The body design was borrowed from the contemporary SG Standard. Earlier examples tend to be lighter in color and more brownish-red, while later examples are darker. This model was discontinued in 2008.

In 2010, two new Angus Young Signature SGs were introduced. Again, the USA model was not based directly on any one SG Angus owns, but an amalgamation of features from several. However, the Custom Shop model was a direct replica of a circa 1970 SG Standard (Gibson incorrectly calls it a '68 and implies it was his first SG, which it wasn't) that Angus had almost entirely rebuilt by JayDee guitars in 1984, with distinctive lightning bolt inlays. This became his number one guitar for the Who Made Who tour, and was frequently used on the Stiff Upper Lip and Black Ice tours as well. However, while the original likely features the stock T-Tops, the Gibson replica features Seymour Duncans similar to what Angus uses in his other SGs on recent tours.

this guitar has been used in the new power up album, and possibly other albums too.
