To many vintage guitar fans it seems inconceivable that Gibson
dumped the Sunburst Les Paul in 1960 and during the following year
introduced a completely new design the one that we know now as the
SG ( solid guitar ).THAt the time however it made good business
sense. Sales of the Les Paul were faltering and Gibson decided to
blow a breath of fresh air through its solidbody electric guitar
line. The company described the result as an ultra-thin
hand-contoured double-cutaway body. The modernistic amalgam of
bevels and points and angles was a radical departure and this new
book tells the story of all the SG models that followed: the Junior
Special Standard Custom and more.THThere are interviews with and
stories about Gibson personnel through the years and all the major
SG players including Pete Townshend Frank Zappa Eric Clapton Angus
Young George Harrison Gary Rossington Tony Iommi and Derek
Trucks.THIn the tradition of Tony Bacon's bestselling series of
guitar books EThe SG Guitar BookE is three great volumes in one
package: a collection of drool-worthy pictures of the coolest
guitars; a gripping story from the earliest prototypes to the
latest exploits; and a detailed collector's database of every
production SG model ever made.
