2011 Gibson SG Angus Young Signature in Thunderstruck Black, USED

The 2011 Gibson SG Angus Young Signature in Thunderstruck Black is a tribute to the legendary AC/DC guitarist, offering the distinctive looks, tone, and playability that Angus Young is known for. This signature model captures the essence of Young's iconic SG, featuring a sleek, lightweight design and custom electronics that deliver the punchy, high-energy sound associated with his playing style. The Thunderstruck Black finish adds a bold, modern aesthetic to the classic SG body, giving the guitar a menacing yet elegant appearance.

Crafted from mahogany, the body of the Angus Young SG provides a warm, resonant foundation with excellent sustain, while its double-cutaway design offers easy access to the highest frets—perfect for the searing leads and fast licks that define Angus Young's playing. The slim, fast-playing neck is also made of mahogany and features a bound rosewood fingerboard with lightning bolt inlays, a nod to Young's electrifying stage presence and the band's iconic imagery. This combination of materials gives the guitar a balanced, rich tone, ideal for both crunchy rhythms and screaming solos.

One of the key features of this signature model is its custom electronics. The bridge pickup is an Angus Young signature humbucker, designed to deliver that classic AC/DC tone: powerful, bright, and full of midrange punch. Paired with a ’57 Classic humbucker in the neck position, the guitar offers a versatile range of tones, from thick, warm leads to sharp, biting rhythms. The simple two-volume, two-tone knob layout, along with the three-way pickup selector, allows for easy control of the guitar's tonal range, making it adaptable for a variety of rock and blues styles.

The 2011 Gibson SG Angus Young Signature also features a lightweight, comfortable feel, making it ideal for long performances, just like the ones Angus is known for. The iconic small pickguard, chrome hardware, and vintage-style tuners contribute to its classic SG aesthetic, while the Thunderstruck Black finish gives it a unique and modern edge. Overall, this guitar is a perfect homage to one of rock's most influential guitarists, combining powerful tone, fast playability, and timeless design.
