“I showed up on the first day of shooting, saying, ‘This is a guitar I bought at Guitar Center. I want to use my guitar in the movie’”: Jack Black reveals he still owns the Gibson SG that characterized School of Rock

"School of Rock" cast members Jack Black (R), Robert Tsai (L) and Joey Gaydos Jr. appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" at the NBC Studios on September 26, 2003 in Burbank, California.

Jack Black has just revealed he still owns the Gibson SG that was the centerpiece of his iconic film, School of Rock – thanks to a genius workaround of Hollywood’s strict prop rules.

The family-friendly comedy film, which boasts a star-studded soundtrack, was a smash hit and became the highest-grossing music-themed comedy of all time when it was released in 2003. Perhaps most importantly, it helped introduce classic bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin to a new generation of music lovers, with rock-obsessive Black proving to be the perfect showman for its lead role.
