Back in my loud rock'n'roll days I always wanted a cherry red Gibson SG Special. It was all to do with the Groundhogs song, Cherry Red, and Tony McPhee's SG, and of course Pete Townsend's love affair with cherry red Gibson SG Specials that I saw so many times in my youth. That craving went away a long time ago and never returned. I like the look of the Vintage VS6V, it looks very close to the real thing.

I always think SG=Angus Young. Clicked the video link and there it was. Angus Young ...

What about a Guild Polara S100? There's Asian reissues of that. Any love for Kim Thayil? I sure do.
e&oe...

I bought a Vintage Fool a couple of years ago-designed and painted as a replica of the SG Eric Clapton played round the time of Disraeli Gears. I am not sure if its the same guitar as an unpainted Vintage SG copy. Its certainly very powerful.
My favourite SG tones came from the West Coast of America in the mid-late 60s. Two great albums that feature them are Live Dead by The Grateful Dead and Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service. But a lot of West Coast bands of that vintage seemed to play them-Big Brother, Country Joe and the Fish, Santana also come to mind.

Ah, back in our loud rock n'roll days...! Fugazi, the band that really blew me away every time I saw them play, they had the two singers playing guitar, an SG versus a Rickenbacker, both of them looked beautiful to me, would have been over the moon with either. Never got one though.
It isn't blues but there's still a place in my heart for this :

Looks like fresh damage with the lacquer flaking around the cracks. Look for little golden chips in the case, like fish food.
