Gibson SG Price Guide
The Gibson SG was introduced in 1961 as a redesign of the Les Paul. Though Les Paul himself was not a fan, the SG became iconic in its own right — favored by Tony Iommi, Angus Young, and Derek Trucks. Early 'Les Paul/SG' models from 1961-1963 still carry the Les Paul name on the truss rod cover.
Produced: 1961–present
📖 Buyer's Guide
Thin SG necks are prone to headstock breaks at the volute — inspect carefully and factor in any repairs. Early 1961-1963 models with the long pickguard and sideways vibrato are the most collectible. Pelham Blue and Polaris White finishes command a premium over standard Cherry.
