THE GIBSON SG'S GREATEST HITS (THIS LIST GOES TO 11)
THE WHO
My Generation (Live At Leeds)
Pete Townshend’s blend of control and abandon showcases the SG Special’s extraordinary range and dynamics in this extended live version of The Who’s iconic hymn to teenage angst. Roaring riffs, searing lead and chiming clean textures all feature as part of this sensational electric-guitar masterclass, although here in 2019, smashing vintage Gibsons into splinters isn’t necessarily recommended.
THE BEATLES
She Said She Said
Inspired by an acid-fuelled encounter with Peter Fonda at a party’s most daring compositional moments. George Harrison’s spiralling guitar lines were played on the 1964 SG Standard he used throughout the sessions. The guitar was later sold at a 2004 Christie’s auction for $567,000 to Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
