The SG-3 guitar pushes the power, sustain, and tonal range of Gibson's legendary SG into new sonic dimensions.
The Gibson SG3 Fireburst Electric Guitar goes where no SG has gone before. With three single-coil pickups and a jaw-droppingly beautiful Fireburst finish, the SG-3 is equipped with a 6-way chicken-head pickup switch. Rotary selector offers six pickup settings: bridge, neck, middle, middle/bridge, middle/neck, and neck/bridge. Combining unrivaled playability with an extraordinary spectrum of sweet yet scorching humbucker tones, the SG-3 is the perfect guitar for rock, metal, and blues guitarists.

Almost....I want to like SG's, but I *hate* the way they hang on a strap, dangit.

[Prages]

I'm kind of with Aahzz. Never been a big SG fan.

That said, I think that one looks cool enough, and would probably sound great. I just don't like the feel of most SGs I've played.

[Mark Wein]

I'm digging SG's more and more but I find that one incredibly ugly....

[Denverdave]

Single Coil pickups on an SG just don't look right......

[JModius1972]

Nifty concept. I just don't like SG's at all.
