I compare the two most classic Gibson SG versions in this video: SG Standard and SG Special. Standard is the classic AC/DC guitar and Special is the classic Black Sabbath and the Who guitar. They are much more different than you may think! And both have instantly recognizable tones!

The Standard features Humbucker pickups and ABR-1 Bridge
The Special features P90 Single coils and Wraparound Bridge
