1966 GIBSON SG CUSTOM
The Gibson SG design, officially launched in 1961, was a radical departure for the solidbody guitar, almost as if a sculptor had been at work rather than a guitar maker. The body was a stylish blend of bevels and points and angles, and the relatively lightweight instrument invited players to reach its topmost frets with ease and speed thanks to a pair of pointy cutaways. It was unlike anything any company had produced before – even if the shadow of Fender was evident across some of its ideas.
