What's the most BADASS SG of all?

[shamu1]

All SGs are cool, regardless of model. But what particular SG, in your mind, is the coolest, most badass of all SGs? Post your pics here.

In my opinion, the most badass SG of all time has to be the 50s Tribute in Ebony:

I don't play heavy metal or even rock, but man, this is probably the most evil, menacing looking guitar I've ever seen. I think I'd be afraid to own one. It just dares you to crank out a power chord on it. If I didn't know any better, THIS is the kind of guitar I would associate Tony Iommi with.

I recently sold some of my guitars to buy one of these in vintage burst (it's on its way). I didn't feel I was man enough for the ebony version.

The sound is even cooler than its looks. I was flattened by the crackling, snarling growl coming out of this beast. Check this out: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4LTqb5x5EA[/ame]

That has to be the meanest, most gnarly noise I've ever heard come out of any musical instrument, never mind an SG. This is awesome.

I am diggin' the deep cutaway bevels..

Needs a pickguard though..

 

[Biddlin]

I think voodoos are pretty badass. What is it with you prudes and pickguards ? Show your wood, proudly!

 

[eS.G.]

I think the most bad ass one is the one I am playing RIGHT NOW :-)

that 50's does sound good

Pretty mean, similar to the 50s trib in the first post. This is a pretty evil guitar:

I also think the gothic is a mean machine.

Damn, that one is even cooler, with the dot inlays. I think dot inlays suit an SG better than trapezoids, which I think look better on Les Pauls.

They're SGs, they're all badass... especially if they're black!

FOr me the most badass SG of all time has to be my 2000 SG Standard Limited Edition. Sound is very very hot

 

[Krosis]

Tony Iommi's Old Boy SG:

The guitar is practically a legend itself.

 

[Markm]

Either one of these of course!

I was gonna say the same thing dude, but you beat me to it!

It's a nice guitar but I still can't see how they could call it a '50s tribute...

That is freaking awesome. Is that the stock pickguard?

They own the stamping press, mate.

My local store has the 50's tribute SG w/p90's for like $459. It tempts me every time I go in there, but I just got an SG Standard.

There are so many badass SGs that are all over this forum, but the first that come to mind as "badass SGs" are:
Smitty_p's Kraken

( i cant get a pic of it to upload, but lots of pic's of it around here)

And Shreddy's Helena

There are so many others too! Some very cool SGs grace this forum on a regular basis.

 

[SG John]

I was going to say mine. But I have played Java's Cipollina tribute SG before, so that tops my list.

 

[Col Mustard]

Mind, no question

It's a nice guitar but I still can't see how they could call it a '50s tribute...

I believe that Gibson stamps 'prototype' on the back of the headstock
in an attempt to answer this, which many of us have posted.

and +1 on the sentiment that the most bad-ass SG is MINE... I wouldn't argue
with any of us who said that, seeing as how there are so many absolute bad-ass SGs on these boards.

and this is a great thread, it fans the G.A.S.
