Gibson SG Diablo Electric Guitar Red Metallic

The SG was a futuristic design when it was introduced in 1961, and the Diablo adds a unique depth and, if possible, higher class. The carved top on this mahogany axe lends a 3D effect to the look and a slightly different brilliance and punch to the sound as well. Still here are the set-in, rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, Burstbucker Pro pickups and Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge. Grover tuners and gold hardware seal the deal.A Little SG History In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and two sharp cutaway horns that making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
