I’ve played many guitars including Fender Stratocasters, Fender Telecasters, Gibson SG, and Gibson Les Paul. Though I love shredding on the Fender Strat, I always go back to the Gibson SG for all around versatility and that Gibson tone. No, I haven’t owned all these different flavors of guitars but I have played them at guitar stores AND I’ve played guitars that friends own.
In my admittedly inexperienced opinion, the 2017 Gibson SG is the best version of the SG that Gibson has put out since the 60s. I researched the SG for over a year to learn about every year’s changes. When the specs for the 2017 were released, I knew that this was the year where Gibson gets it right! I believe the 2017 version of the SG will be one that collectors will talk about for many years to come.
