Amps that pair well with the 1987 Gibson SG 'Standard' (aka 'Shuji')

Friedman Dirty Shirley

Into the Dirty Shirley's vintage British saturation, the Shuji SG's bright, sustain-heavy attack cuts through rather than thinning out.

Blackstar St. James 100

The St. James' high-gain, genuinely versatile headroom gives the Shuji SG's bright, reliable attack somewhere modern to push.

Soldano Astro-20 Head

The Astro-20's smooth, direct-recording lead gain gives the Shuji SG's bright, sustain-heavy attack somewhere articulate to push.

Magnatone Lil Viper

The Shuji SG's bright, reliable attack suits the Lil Viper's own vibrato-laced, crunchy classic-rock voice.
