Is gibson sg good for metal. Thats good in my book because i dont think an sg should sound exactly like a lp. I think this is the perfect pickup set for the sg sound which is more edgy and brash than a les paul. Rumor has it that when gibson changed the design of the singlecut les paul to the doublecut sg les himself wasnt too keen on the decidedly modern batwing look and asked to have his name removed from the guitar.
With its five ply guard and white button tuners the no fuss dot inlay its a gnarly slap of mahogany thats ideal for rock blues maybe even metal too and the walnut finish is just darn classy. I have a gibson sg special and it handles metal just fine even with stock pickups. My current sg is a 2003 standard and i play blues classic rock and classic metal with it.
It sounds awesome but not the same as my lpr8. The gibson sg has huge sonic punch and sleek playabilitytwo essentials for playing metal.
