Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar, Black Gibson’s new, solidbody guitar of the 60’s, the SG, broke through traditional concepts of solidbody electrics and became an instant classic.
Customer Review: Best of all guitars
I’ve had an SG for a year now and favor it over my American Fat Strat. Real thick sound just like a Gibson should have…but fear not, this axe has some screaming highs as well. Perfect sound, good action, and a snazzy look. Only downside is that it’s really heavy. Not good when you play in a grind-core band and bounce around alot. This guitar is good for almost any music except for country. Country isn’t good on any instrument.
Customer Review: My favorite guitar
This is my most versatile as well as easiest-to-play guitar. I’ve had this guitar for four years now. I was actually shopping for a Les Paul at the time, but its larger fingerboard makes the Les Paul a little harder to tame. I use my SG for everything from rock to jazz and even classical. No kidding! I’ve done recitals with this guitar for class. There are classical pieces I can’t play on my stratocaster but I can on my SG (and on my Ovation, to be fair).
It’s not perfect. Both tone labels have fallen off their knobs. And there was a burr in the saddle that destroyed B strings daily until I got it fixed by a dealer (under warranty).
But the SG is nice and light and easy on your fingers. If I could only keep one of my guitars, this would be it. If you’re considering one, you might check out the Custom SGs as well, as build quality may be better, but they are significantly more money.
My SG Standard has only whetted my appetite for Gibsons. Bravo, Gibson! I can’t wait for my next Gibson purchase (a Black Beauty, please, with nickel hardware).

Lakland 5501 Skyline Series 5 String Bass Black, Maple Fingerboard The Lakland 55-01 Skyline 5-string bass is way off the deep end! Just like the 44-01, dual Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soapbars are coupled with the MK-1 preamp. The 44’s and 55’s have that deep Lakland cutaway on the high register side of the neck that allows easy access to ALL 22 frets up the neck for throwing licks on top of your grooves. And Lakland has said it before: 35-inch scale necks make for killer low B’s! That is why the low tones on Skyline 5-string basses boom with piano-like clarity! Case not included. Nut Width: 1.8″ Nut Type: Plastic Fret Size: .041/.085″ Width at Final Fret: 3.3″ 1st Fret Neck Depth: .81″ 12th Fret Neck Depth: .92″ Fingerboard Radius: 10-13″ (Compund) Scale Length: 35″ Frets: 22 Bridge String Spacing: .75″ Neck Wood: Flat-Sawn Rock Maple with Graphite Reinforcement Bars Body wood(s): Ash Fingerboard: Maple with Dots or Rosewood with Dots Tuners: Hipshot Tapered Shaft (Optional Hipshot D-Tuner) Truss Rod: Access Neck Heel: 5/32″ Hex Pickguard: Optional Controls: Cut and Boost: Bass, Midrange, Treble, Panning-style Pickup Blend Control, Master Volume (pull for preamp bypass)  Bridge: Lakland Dual Access (through body or through bridge) Lakland basses all feature a 2 year, non-transferrable warranty.

Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck 5-String Bass Guitar, Burgundy Red The Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck is a 5-String bass guitar that is similar to the other Corvette models, but distinguishes itself with unique electronics. It features 2 powerful MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center position, completely covering the legendary sweet spot that so many basses miss completely. This configuration gives it a powerful, solid tone with depth and clarity. 2 mini 3-way switches let you choose humbucker, single-coil, and parallel or series operation. The passive pickups are matched to an MEC 2-band active preamp, making it a true passive/active hybrid. The Corvette $$ Double Buck features a select swamp ash body, an ovangkol neck, bell brass frets, high-quality hardware, and natural or transparent color oil finishes.

Gibson Acoustic L-200 Emmylou Harris Acoustic Electric Guitar The L-200 Emmylou Harris Acoustic Electric Guitar is a smaller version of Gibson's classic J-200 featuring the thin L-Series body design and a super fast-action neck. A solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing belts out big tones with the best of them yet it's capable of sweet and mellow soft sounds as well. The Gibson Emmylou Harris guitar has a flamed maple back and sides that add crisp projection and snappy looks. Multi-bound top and back, bound rosewood fretboard and headstock, and luxurious mother-of-pearl inlays add to its visual appeal. Schertler Bluestick transducer system provides honest acoustic tone when plugged in. Includes hardshell case.
