Older brother Alex, also a musician, stayed in the UK. Angus first started playing on banjos but re-strung them with six strings. Angus first started playing guitar on a cheap acoustic model purchased second-hand by his mother.[1] Angus's first Gibson SG was bought second-hand circa 1970 from a music shop just down the street from his home: “ I got out and got a Gibson SG that I played until it got wood rot because so much sweat and water got into it. The whole neck warped. I bought it second-hand, it was about a '67. It had a real thin neck, really slim, like a Custom neck. It was dark brown.[2]
