The light bulb. Television and radio. The microwave oven. Gibson's SG Standard— all inspirations of genius that transformed the way we live. Gibson's redesign of the Les Paul in 1960 was a bold move. But it paid off big time. It announced a new, radical electric guitar design for Gibson, and the world. It also inspired a rebellious generation of ideas and music rarely experienced before, and certainly not since.

Today, that same radical design— and restless spirit — lives on in Gibson's celebrated SG Standard. The redesigned 2013 SG Standard pays tribute to this revolutionary guitar. This guitar boasts all of the classic SG appointments including a double-cutaway mahogany body, slim mahogany neck, bound rosewood fretboard and Gibson’s ’57 Classic humbucking pickups for pure vintage-style bite. Plus, now all SG Standard models feature the original, smaller pickguard with tenon cover for the ultimate vintage-inspired look. It's all there, in all its original glory. Transform your playing. Revolutionize your life. Buy the 2013 Gibson SG Standard today and experience your own uprising firsthand.
