It's time to review the final guitar from our January GAS attack and take a closer look at the budget 'bog standard' alternative to the Gibson SG 🎸 It has curves in all the right places and sounds pretty sweet but can £399 really buy you a 'proper' SG? 🤔

Here's the story of one of those 'cheap' Gibson guitars they used to knock out back in the days BC (before Cesar 😜). We wonder how this came to be hanging out in a pawn shop in Hammersmith and thank our lucky stars it found a way into these hands 🙏 It bloody rocks!! 😎🤘
