SG's are fun to play, no doubt about it. Is miss the SG Classic I had and the SG Jr. I had in the early 90's. I have my kit SG Jr. So I'm good for now. I wouldn't mind a Standard. Great guitars, IMO.

Angus usues a mic'd amp under the stage, and a pickup that I think is about 10K wound by the Great Seymour Duncan, so I'm not so sure you need that devastating volume, plus he's also using some kind of pedal, or he did.
Now the eraly days was Balls 2 the Wall Plexi.

The Angus Young signature pickup is the hottest that Gibson makes ,That's why I decided to build an SG for the Dirty Fingers I have had for over 20 years

Ol' Angus Young gets this nutty "warble" on his leads thats awesome.

I've always suspected that that super-fast vibrato came mostly from early Paul Kossoff, although Koss slowed his vibrato down throughout his short life. Take a listen to the 'Free Live' album to get an idea of what i'm talking about re. Koss' faster vibrato.

I've always thought I could hear Paul Kossoff in Angus's playing.

Evidently, you didn't actually read all the posts about which you are complaining.

Saw that...Thanks for the clarification..We talk so much "normally" about what guitar,pickups,etc..but the amp gets left out of alot of the equations...Most importantly our hands and the way we play too!

Not really a complaint so to speak!

"Why is it whenever I hear an ACDC song, I want an SG?"

The same reason whenever I pick up a SG I got to play some AC/DC.

ICONIC

The sounds on the Jailbreak EP and Dirty Deeds LP are devastating.

I can approximate Mal pretty good with my Orange DT and an Ibby Artist with 59's. I can never really get where I feel like I have Angus nailedthough regardless of gear.

Re: Why is it whenever I hear an ACDC song, I want an SG?

I'll be down there next Sat and Sunday

Oh next week....I'm about 30 minutes or so from you..Aceman even closer..Would love to meet you if our schedules allow? I'm playing on Sunday,but Saturday maybe be open?

Shoot me a message when we get closer.
 
Re: Why is it whenever I hear an ACDC song, I want an SG?

I can't listen to AC/DC for more than about 25 minutes, for the same reason that I can't listen to the Police for extended periods of time. So no SG gas for me.
 
Re: Why is it whenever I hear an ACDC song, I want an SG?

I've really been gassing for one of those Faded SGs with the crescent moon inlays. Then I'd want to refinish it in black to go with the ebony fretboard and throw a set of P90s in there. It'd have more of a Sabbath vibe, but some AC/DC would inevitably be played on it.
