Couple of years ago Jerry started experimenting with Gibson SGs.

“The first one I actually had was Gibson Pelham Blue SG Firebrand,” Zakk says, referring to a rare SG variation which was sold in the late ’70s and early ’80s, usually in a natural walnut finish and only very rarely in solid colors. “It was actually really cool. I ended up getting rid of it because I wanted to save up for a Les Paul Custom or something like that, but it was a kick-ass guitar. When I look back, I wish I’d saved that thing. It was also unusual because it didn’t have a rosewood fingerboard – it had an ebony fingerboard, and it had just round inlay markers. That was a killer guitar. I had to have been maybe 15 or so when I got it, and I probably had it until I was maybe 16, 17, something like that, before I decided I had to get that Les Paul instead.”

In this image, Kurt Cobain is holding his Blue Gibson SG.

"Also not to exclude the Gibson fans out of the mid to late 60's party we are having on this fine Friday afternoon. Here is a quartet of custom color Gibson guitars from 1965 thru 1968.

> 40 years before my main SG came into being in 2008, this one was built (my birth year). The story behind this guitar is a bit complicated. However, it is said (on good authority) that this instrument was once owned by one of our generation's greatest (and now sadly late) rock vocalists, Chris Cornell. I can't get into details of that or how it ended up with me, but lets just say, again, its from a reliable source who was once part of Soundgarden's camp in the mid-90s. I no idea what it's worth and don't want to know. Either way, it doesn't come on tour! Another Gibson SG he has is from 2008. Skolnick writes: > Somehow my bro Frankie (the gtr builder) found a dude in NYC who lived above a bar. This guy not only hadn't played in a while, he had maxed out bar tab (no joke!) And ended up letting this go for a steal. My gain, as it's one of the best SGs I've played. I rotate it for home practice and writing and use it on stage for certain occasions (such as Metal Allegiance performing vintage Sabbath and AC/DC).

"I tinkled around on the piano with my dad as a kid, but if I had stuck to it, I probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now... I do like to play though. I bought a guitar just before Christmas - a Gibson SG. I believe it's a Standard, and I really got into it for a short time and then left it home. I wish I had it now. If I don't bring it on the road it'll sit under my bed the whole time. At least I could be learning..."

So it's like I'm quickly turning down my volume knob, but all I have to do is step on this switch. That's how I go from dirty to clean."

**2007 Gibson SG Standard Silverburst** > I’m kind of inbetween guitars at the moment. A car accident caused an upper-back injury and put me in search of lighter-weight guitars. > I tried several different SG Customs and some just didn’t feel right and the SG neck is not my favourite profile. But I’ve tracked this one down with a rounder neck profile, ebony ’board and mahogany body. > I’m always checking out guitars and this was a really good deal. It was a Robot Guitar [a model with automated self tuning] and I knew right away I’d be stripping all that mechanism out, but at the core of it I knew this was a great guitar. > In the last few years I’ve become accustomed to using lower output pickups and I put a Lollar Imperial in the neck and then a higher wound one in the bridge. And I’m sold – they’re really good. Great for distortion and having articulation. I think lower output pickups refl ect the guitar more; everything is more exposed in a cool way. > I’ve had SGs that are the worst things to play live but this one felt great. Sacha Dunable from Dunable Guitars helped me set it up with a new bridge and tuners. On this tour it’s usually in C# G# D G A C# and occasionally the lower G# will go up to an A . I’ll use the Drop pedal to take that a whole step down too. **1971 Gibson SG Standard** > I picked this up at a cool guitar store called Rock ’N’ Roll Vintage in Chicago. > It’s a guitar I’d always see but I tried to stay away from it and not touch it. But I fell in love with it and I’ve had it for years now - and for certain songs live it has its place where no other guitar feels quite as right. There are things I would change about it, like the pickup in the bridge doesn’t quite have the tonal quality. I can’t say for certain if it is the original. This is always in the same tuning: BBEABE.

Angus Young, Pete Townshend… “I liked the angularity of it and the bluntness of it, I felt like, that was sort of my style of playing and I’ve tried other guitars, but I just like the sound. I like a guitar that has a little bit of growliness to it – one that feels like the harder you play, it will react to that.”

Another key guitar is a ‘90s-era Gibson SG of uncertain provenance. It’s very stock-looking. I’m using it on the current Joe Satriani tour and I’ve been recording with it since Sluggo. Satriani loves it because it looks like something I just grabbed off the floor and started playing. It’s not a fancy guitar, but it’s got a real nice honky mid-range grungy quality to it that’s super satisfying.

"Gibsons are my favourite. I’m currently playing predominately my SG. I have two SGs now that I play. One of them is old, one of them is new. I’m still on the fence about the new ones because it’s one of those really thin necks and it’s kind of weird but it was such a cute guitar and I really wanted a white SG so I bought it but I don’t like the neck. And also it’s funny, it feels kind of like a toy guitar compared to my old SG, which I think is a ’79 and feels so substantial". - See more at: http://iheartguitarblog.com/2014/09/interview-veruca-salts-louise-post.html#sthash.3cazMsc7.4tSHwyk1.dpuf

What happened was, we signed with Columbia Records, and Columbia owned Fender, so we got a lot of Fender equipment, amps and guitars. We got a Coral electric sitar, too, which was real interesting. I preferred the SGs. They went out of tune because the necks were real thin. But they were good guitars. I always thought Gibson guitars were like General Motors, like a Cadillac or a Buick. Fenders were like Fords - light and hot-rodded."

The Les Paul was Rick's mainstay guitar for years in the early 70's and with Edgar Winter.

Gibson SG Standard

So I ended up getting a Gibson chocolate SG. And I would plug it into my father's Sony reel-to-reel tape recorder. And I would slap on the echo, and all the sudden I was getting the sound that I was looking for. I started getting the riffs. I was able to play the riffs on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. And I was able to play the riffs from Deep Purple's Machine Head and Fireball. They were comin' out, and it was like, "OK, I get it. I needed an electric guitar." So from there I joined the Runaways with my Gibson SG.

QRD – What’s your main guitar & what are the features that make it such? Mick – Gibson SG Standard, probably from 1993. Nothing special feature wise, just the guitar I’ve played the most & feel the most comfortable with. The frets are nice & worn down, the action is nice & high. I’ve spent more time with it than anything else in the world.

From an interview with Tonedeaf: > "Our guitars differ between what we’re touring with and what we’re recording with. At home, all the music is written on my guitar here at home, which is a regular black Gibson SG, which is highly regular. > But that’s my go-to guitar, that’s my favourite guitar. And usually when we go into the studio, there’s nothing wrong with that guitar, but it tends to detune a bit too quickly. I’ve changed the screws on it, but in the studio you want something reliable. > In the studio we tend to use one set of things and live we use Gibson RDs and those are really good for the live thing. Also, just for the coloration of the sound, we want to use different guitars in the studio." -Nameless Ghoul With this, Nameless Ghouls have used Gibson SG's live as well, such as in [this video](https://youtu.be/yjkatWc0XXI?t) where a Nameless Ghoul performs "Elizabeth" with a white Gibson SG at Hellfest.

"In 1977 I swapped the bass I ‘ad, a Fender, for a Gibson SG. It’s a 1963 SG and this is the one that I played all through the band. I did start the band with a Gibson Explorer. It was brand new. I bought it in 1980. I did that first gig at the Crown with it, and the second gig we was playin’ away and I knocked Zeeb and it knocked it out of tune so I picked up the SG and when I came off they all said “Gore Blimey Phil, That”s a lot better sounding guitar.” And I never looked back. I never picked up the Explorer again. I just carried on with the SG."

Ballad of Paka: Logic Pro for DAW. Guitars were recorded with a MXL 890 through a Focusrite 2i2. My friend recorded drum samples for me to use - not sure what his set up was for those. Vocals were through the MXL and Focusrite as well. As for VST I used some sort of 8bit wave generator for most of the synths plus a thermin plugin for Toothless. Organs were just through the built-in Logic organs. Bass I usually just direct input through the Focusrite. Pollen King: Logic Pro for Daw. This time Guitars were recorded up close with an SM57, with the MXL 890 picking up room noise (both recorded simultaneously through the Focusrite 2i2.). Drums were recorded live this time with my friend's 8-input firepod. I think I mic'd everything with SM57s and used the MXL 890 and whatever condenser mic he had picking up room noise. Viola on Copper/Gold was recorded with the MXL890 and then re-recorded via my monitors to a tape recorder I bought at Goodwill. I then mixed the two together. VST I think I only used a Mellotron sampler I found online and whatever the built in electric piano for Logic is called. Bass was recorded direct input from the Focusrite again. Vocals through the MXL 890. Equipment (outside of aforementioned mics): Gibson SG for guitar (Maybe a Strat on some of Pollen King), Vox Solid State amp, Fender Jazz Bass, Basic Starter Bell Kit. Outside of the drums (don't know the make on those) I think that might be it. Happy to answer more questions if you've got them.

Tony: We did a few demos before signing with Roadrunner. You're talking about nearly 30 years ago. I remember two of the demo titles..."Looking Death in the Face" and "Thunderstruck". That was recorded in Sonic Studios in Long Island where Manowar worked in the past. One night, after working on some guitar leads, we left the studio in Tony Bono's van. We were stopped at a red light on the Sunrise Highway and this guy plowed into the back of the van. We went flying. My right arm snapped when I landed on the Marshall head. The police estimated the car that hit us was going 90+ mph. The steering wheel went through the guys chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The doctor in the emergency room said I could get a cast and have to wait 6 weeks to start therapy or I could have rods put in to stabilize it and begin therapy while it healed. I opted to get two 13" titanium rods and a screw in my arm that are still there to this day. Two days later I had my Gibson SG in the hospital bed and my right arm was gently falling over the strings. About 3 weeks later I finished the guitar leads. That was the demo that got all the attention from the labels.
