Gibson’s radical redesign of the Les Paul in 1960 created a classic that has stood the test of time for nearly 50 years: The Gibson SG—short for solid guitar. With a lightweight mahogany body and sharp double cutaways, the SG is as bold and powerful today as it was nearly 50 years ago. It has been in production continuously since its launch, and each new generation of guitarists has used the SG to push the sonic boundaries of music to new, dizzying heights.
