The Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar is a true American icon with tone and feel that makes it a player's guitar. It's more than just a coincidence that mahogany is one of the most prized woods for electric guitar design, and the Gibson SG Standard is arguably the most classic example of the use of this fine tonewood in an instrument that's both nuanced and powerful.
