![]() ![]() ![]() Since the signature SG was released in 2009 and that Production Sample was made in 2007, it’s not hard to imagine that this very guitar prompted Angus Young to accept the signature deal. The neck-through makes it very different from what eventually became Young’s second signature SG with Gibson, who looked a lot like this Production Sample but was structurally quite different. Like his old faithful, this #1 has a neck-through, nylon saddles, Schaller tuners and a pickup ring for the treble pickup even though there’s a large pickguard. Yes, a replica of an SG replica made by a luthier. ![]() This SG was built as a Production Sample for Angus Young of AC/DC, as a spot-on replica of his famous Jaydee. They are usually made to order for the artist themselves when they need a special instrument for a tour or recording, not necessarily with the intention of it ending up becoming a production model. Those Artist Proof instruments are already rare as hen’s teeth, and rarely get sold outside of the musician’s inner circle, but Production Sample guitars are even harder to find. Here at Matt’s Guitar Shop, we’ve managed to get our hands on a few Artist Proof Gibson guitars: those are the instruments made by the Custom Shop for the artists to approve before they start building the actual run. ![]()
