Few players are as closely tied to the SG as Angus Young, whose high-voltage tone and explosive stage presence helped make this double-cut icon synonymous with AC/DC. The 2013 Gibson Angus Young SG ‘Thunderstruck’ pays tribute to the legendary Aussie riff machine with a sleek set of custom specs, fiery pickups, and stage-ready feel.
This limited edition signature model features a mahogany body and neck in a deep, rich Dark Cherry finish, built for fast lead work and big open chords alike. The lightweight construction (just 2.9kg / 6.39lb) and compact nut width (39.56mm) make this one of the most agile-feeling SGs around - a true speed demon with bite.
It’s loaded with Angus’ signature humbuckers, delivering the tight, punchy attack and raunchy upper-mid snarl that defined the band’s classic records. Plug it into a cranked Marshall and you’ll know exactly where your money went.
The fingerboard is adorned with lightning bolt inlays - a nod to Angus’ electrifying persona and a standout feature that makes this model instantly recognisable.
Playability is superb, with low, slick action measuring 0.5mm at the 1st fret and 1.5mm at the 12th, and a neck that stays slim and comfortable all the way up (21.16mm depth at the 1st fret, 21.74mm at the 12th).
This example is in excellent condition, with very little wear to speak of, and comes with the original Gibson case and all factory paperwork/candy - a fantastic collector's piece and a serious rock machine.
