The Gibson Custom Shop Angus Young SG V.O.S. is one of the most captivating signature models dedicated to the legendary AC/DC guitarist, produced in 2009 in an extremely limited run. This specific unit belongs to a series of just 200 instruments featuring the V.O.S. finish—a run accompanied at the time by a mere 50 additional "Aged & Signed" examples. The project stemmed from Gibson's desire to recreate the character of the SG that accompanied Angus Young throughout much of his career—an instrument Angus himself has repeatedly described as distinct from all the other SGs he has owned. It is a guitar that became an integral part not only of his sound but of the very image of AC/DC. Crafted by the Gibson Custom Shop, this SG features a mahogany body with an "Angus Cherry" nitrocellulose finish and a V.O.S. treatment designed to replicate the look and feel of an instrument that has naturally aged over time. The ultra-slim maple neck mirrors the unique profile of Angus's original SG, while the ebony fretboard is adorned with the unmistakable "Lightning Bolt" inlays that have become a hallmark of his guitars. The electronics consist of a pair of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups, developed to meet Angus Young's specific requirements. They offer a dynamic, open, and defined response that emphasizes attack, clarity, and the distinctive upper-midrange aggression essential for achieving that classic AC/DC crunch—without relying on excessively high-output pickups. The instrument is rounded out by an ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles, a stopbar tailpiece, and chrome hardware. More than just a standard artist model, this Angus Young SG V.O.S. represents the Gibson Custom Shop's attempt to capture the essence of one of the most recognizable SGs in rock history. The original certificate identifies unit AY106 as one of only 200 V.O.S. models produced, making it a highly desirable Gibson Custom Shop instrument for collectors today. An SG built around the sound, feel, and aesthetic of Angus Young: stripped-back, immediate, and deeply rooted in over fifty years of rock history. A rare example of a Gibson Custom Shop collectible available in Italy and Europe through Guitar Sauce.
