The gorgeous 2013 Gibson SG Standard Model electric Guitar that I just received, having paid the bargain 'BuyIt Now' price on EBay, has blown me away. This guitar is not only beautiful to look at, it's just an absolute PLEASURE to play.....and believe me, I own some of the most awesome, iconic electric guitars ever made. The pickups are - as far as I know - identical to those on m,y 2013 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Model, but the similarity ends there.... The Neck is easier and more comfortable. The body is not only contoured, but also much thinner - and therefore, WEIGHS much, MUCH less than my Traditional LP, which is most Welcome and much appreciated. Mainly, though, I have gained much respect for Gibson's SG design, the original planned replacement for the Les Paul Model! It is a beautiful, awesome-sounding, easy to play Axe, and I cannot believe it took me so long to dive into my favorite place to score great deals on fantastic Guitars - EBay - to bring one of these beauties home!Read full review

I own several Gibsons including another SG and I must say that this guitar is everything I could have hoped for in an SG. The 2007 Silverburst Standards were a limited run of 400 and I found a used one on eBay. Though I had to pay a little more than one would for a typical used SG standard, the extra money was worth it for the appointments alone. This guitar comes stock with an ebony fretboard (instead of rosewood) and Grover tuners. The sound is amazing, the feel is as good as it gets for an SG and the look is stunning. The only very small complaint I have about this guitar - and it is very very minor is that the silverburst finish is not repeated on the back of the guitar - the back is just pure black, so the guitar just has silverburst on the front only. Not that big of a deal but if you look at silverburst Les Pauls (at least the vintage ones) the back has silverburst on it as well. But this is very minor as the guitar is flawless and beautiful to look at. Neck profile is of the thicker, baseball bat style and while I prefer the slimmer 60's necks in general, this one is comfortable and, in my opinion, adds to the meaty sound of the guitar. This is a guitar I will cherish for many years. I expect that it will be collectible due to its finish and appointments. If you like silveburst finishes and you like SG's - this is the guitar for you. But don't expect to get one for cheap.Read full review
I got mine and had to clean the fretboard quite a bit as it was not as mint as described, but not worth making and issue. Having had the SG Special and now the Standard, I have to say the reason i got rid of the Special was the refined Gibson feel and overall finish quality did not compare to this guitar. Mine is a lefty with a nickel Bigsby, very cool! The pickups are medium to hot and the guitar has a nice meaty sound with the neck pickup and the killer cutting strong bring pickup sound with good range using the volume control. Action can be set nice and low and the neck is pretty fast. This one has the natural cherry finish and it is light in weight compared to the LP of course. Even thought the neck strap button is on the back, i did install the Dunlop strap lock system and it works well, not getting in the way or sticking out too far. This one is a keeper, I might just add the Tone Pros bridge to get less friction on the saddles, but the trem works if you lube it and stretch those strings!Read full review
There's a reason famous guitarist use the Gibson sg. Lightweight, great tone, stays in tune, sounds like a les Paul only half the weight for those long gigs. Love love love this guitar . I have 20 guitars and this is in the top 5 for sure

if you are looking for a thick darker tone than your Les Paul here is your answer. I had wanted one but didn't really know how different they sounded. I am very happy with the sound played through my Deluxe Reverb it soars. It has a good feel and is easier on my aging back to hold up for 2 hours at a time.
