Artists & Notable Guitars
Angus Young (Image # ) - After his original 1970/71 SG was retired, Angus Young picked up a few classic SG models along with his factory second from the music shop in New York City. Since he preferred playing the older model guitars, most of these were 1960s-era Gibson SGs. Throughout the late ‘70s and well into the ‘80s, Angus Young played either his 1970s Factory Second SG or one of his 1960s Gibson SGs. Most of these SGs had a red cherry finish and a stop tailpiece. Everything on them was completely stock, except for a bit of tape around the pickups to prevent sweat from reaching the electronics.
