I NEVER Thought I'd Like an SG...This Guitar Changed EVERYTHING! 

Finally a SG that's so good I actually WANT to play it! Tones @ 6:00 Guitar Link/info - www.paolettiguitars.com/guitars/models/131/ Enjoy :)

SGs rule. They can be used for any style of music. Magnificent instrument.

This guitar sounds fantastic! 😊 I love every single one of the pickup tones, I mean whether split or humbucker, there’s no compromise 👌🏾 Just reminded me of how good of a guitarist you are, Darrell. I can’t believe how I sometimes take for granted how good you are, I usually focus on the guitar and the review to learn about the guitars I might have not known about. But your playing is the reason I always come to the channel, and thank you for all the incredible guitars you’ve introduced to me over the years, I really learned a lot 🙏🏾 Paoletti did an amazing job, just like with the S-style you demo’ed a few years back, I’m so in love 😍 ❤️

I love listening to you play these various guitars and give your opinions. I don’t play guitar at all and don’t know very much about them. I do know what I like to listen to and this guitar does sound really nice to my ears. I’m closing in on 80 years so my hearing isn’t 100% but I do enjoy listening to you play in your video evaluation. 👍👍🇨🇦

I’m not usually a fan of guitars with a destroyed look. I am impressed with this one though! The aged metal and the colored neck is impressive.

Very cool. Seems more like a double cut LP shape and width but pointy like the SG. Sounds excellent

Love what they're doing with the large wood block inlays and finishes. Nicely done Paoletti

Congratulations on the second DB model! I remember when the Stratospheric video came out.

Personally, I can't get into guitars that look like they've been to hell and back, but if you like them, more power to you. There are enough high quality guitars for all tastes.

This thing looks and sounds amazing. I’m not usually one for SG’s or relic look but this is beautiful.

Excellent video. Thank you for introducing me to this brand. Beautiful, interesting and sounds great.

Thanks for sharing and never heard of them but now as being a 4 decades old guitar player and love for guitars I think I’m going to look into this and thinking I may get one so thank you for sharing!

Darrell, I am happy you finished your DIY-project

Beautiful guitars and really cool signatures. Best paint jobs in the line up! Nice looking guitars.

As Darrell pulled it out of the box, it felt like I was watching po..... uh.... something inappropriate. WOW what a beauty!

Your transition animation between sections is very nice and clean, props to who ever did.

Amazing looks and sounds. Great VDO.

this might be my favorite guitar you have ever demonstrated for us. Thx!

That sounds as good as it looks, wow! Beautiful playing

I generally don't like relics but that one looks nice.

Darrell, I finally ordered a Strat from Paoletti in firemist green and to spec. I worked with Massiomo and damn it’s nice. I hope to review it on my other channel but I can tell you now, despite the cost, which was hard to pony up, it does not disappoint in any way. Congrats on the SG sig.

And the price?????? Even the website doesn't mention a price.....sounds fishy to me. Update: Now I know why he didn't mention the price...They go for between $4,000 - $5,000. Really?

Hi Darrell, what can one say…..They are a great guitar maker. This instrument’s sound was pristine. Cheers ✌️🎸

A freakin cool guitar man, love your signature version 💥 amazeballs!

That’s a really nice guitar. Congratulations Darrell 🎉🎉🎉

Sensational guitar review Darrell. Cheers from Oz. :)

Thanks Darrell. It's interesting to hear a chestnut guitar that sounds as good as this. I think the age of the wood is important. The two I've made from different types of chestnut were both pretty dead in the sustain department. Lucky man to have not just one but two of these beauties sigged out for you!

I was at a guitar clinic at the Music Zoo a few years ago with Richard Fortus, and Richard was showing off his Paoletti. It was an amazing guitar with an incredible tone. If I remember right, the Music Zoo raffled one off !!!!

I love SGs ever since Carlos Santana used it on Woodstock. I can forget that feeling since I was 14 years old.

Love that stile. I'm sure it is out of my price range, but it doesn't hurt to dream. Nice job as usual.

Gorgeous guitar!!!! Love these!!!

Very very cool!! I like that board. Gotta say that your model is way better, for sure!

I love both of you of them. The Strat and SG.

Gibson should take notice especially that neck 👍, really nice guitar made with great quality and workmanship. I'm sure it's out of my price range but it's obviously a fabulous instrument 🎸. Thanks Darrell great job as always. 👍.

Love the shot gun shell knobs! Nice sound on clean tones.

Thumbs up for addressing the neck dive question.

I had been considering making custom metal pickguards, backplates, and truss rod covers for some of my instruments and I'm glad to have this for a reference now as one way to do it. It clearly worked a treat here. My buddy told me it seemed too heavy, but honestly on an SG it might just help prevent neck dive haha

I love my ‘93 SG Special (oddly enough, that year, the Special got the Ebony fretboard, while the higher end models got rosewood), but I just haven’t found a singlecut Les Paul I liked. I’m used to Fender style guitars, the switch feels like it’s in my way all the time (On the Jaguar (and Jazzmaster there is a slide switch up there for the rhythm circuit, but it’s lower profile than the 3-way toggle.)

Wow!! I love the full range of tones from those pickups. I see no need to change them. This guitar and a Strat would cover any gig.

Great review Darrell - I have always loved the looks of the Paoletti's, although they are a good way outside of my budget and to be fair would be a waste on a hack like me, but do like that 'SG' type style.

Beautiful, luv-luv it. Probably a bit more than most of us can afford, but I'd definitely get one if I could!

A nice guitar. I’m not particularly into the aged guitar look, but this SG style is cool. The pickups are very good. I think the clean tones sound beautiful.

That looks awesome!!!

It's a really cool guitar man! Congrats! :)

Great looking guitar. The body looks very original, but the best thing is the look of the neck. It looks perfect, precision cut and shaped. Excellent signature guitar DB

Lovely guitar!!! Though I'm not the biggest fan of SGs, love all the tunes u can get from It and the Splits.

i stayed away from the SG forever and finally got a standard couple years ago and i was wrong ,its a beast

Looks amazing. Makes me want a SG too.

It sounds as nasty as it looks in a good way!!! I was blown away by the clean tones and shotgun shell style knobs are a unique touch! Nice video D.B.

Looks and sounds great, shame I can't afford one, thanks for bringing these to us all darrell 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

Great guitar , great looks and great tones 😃👍👍

Love the tone!

i fell in love with this guitar

Your one heck of a man. And I've said this many times before but your a tone monster

Looks fantastic!

Amazing guitar Darrell.

Both sounds and looks great.

Hey Darrell, I’m a recent subscriber. Nice channel, you’re obviously a knowledgeable player, so…. I have a lengthy question regarding a few older videos of yours! I’m building a couple partscasters. One already has the bridge issue resolved. The other is a Tele style. Wish I didn’t have to rout but the only option (I’m aware of) to avoid routing is the very multi accessory, Bluetooth one, which is interesting due to the tuning options (baritone, Digitech whammy, etc). But as far as trem systems I’ve been a Floyd Rose user for 25 years. Since you’ve tried & installed several “drop” ins on strats and even though I’m installing on a Tele, I’d like your unbiased opinion. I may have missed some of your tremolo install videos but the 2 that stood out was of course the Floyd Rose that sits on the deck needs lots of lube🤔 and has the stability of a hard tail fixed bridge. The other was the Vega. Does the F. Rose have the same “feel” (I realize it’s not a “pull up” like Vai bridge & the Vega is) but I have that option covered with other guitars) PS, again, unbiased humble opinion, between the 2 of us, that Bluetooth thingy (can’t remember the name). How good, bad of cheesy does it sound? One drawback I wonder about is taking the base (adhesive) plate on & off & on & off. And just how long it sticks, especially if re applied? Sorry for the novella comment but I’m somewhat meticulous in my option choices, especially when $ is involved! ✌️

Nice review

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sweet guitar!!

Lots of personality in those pickups for humbuckers. Very woody sounding I like it.

Love you show. Do you think you could review a Firebird. I've watched other people review them but I trust your opinion most . Thank you for all your work

I had a Gibson SG for a few years. I can confirm headstock dive was an issue but my biggest gripe was the pickup selector I would have preferred it in the Les Paul position, something it looks like Paoletti haven't changed. SGs are traditionally made from mahogany with a glued in neck and truss for access is via a plate on the headstock. I have never thought having to remove the neck to adjust the truss rod was a good idea and I would never buy a guitar with that system for that reason. It looks cool and sounds ok but that type of neck access is a dealbreaker for me.

Very nice 👌 custom guitar 🎸

Nice SG brothers Darrel.. have you checked up on the ELLEN PLAYS BASS you tuber who Vai put on stage with him yet.. you could help her immensely by plugging her to those almost one million subscribers and feel proud in doing so for such a talent in music

That is one gorgeous guitar.

What a beauty !

Nice tone

Cool guitar!

I was hoping you'd try to get the Clapton 'Woman Tone'. He used an SG back then didn't he? Thanks for the nice video. I was surprised with the clean tones!

Great guitars, love the shotgun shell knows! Suprised that libs don't want to ban them, lol. Awesome sounded great.

Over $4k - but it does sound great. This is the "Lamborghini" of guitars...

Very cool guitar.

Gorgeous

I love this guitar!!!! I went on their site and was checking the Nancy Loft SS-435, which ia another stand-out. HOWEVER... I'm no fan of sites that don't list PRICES. 🤷🏾‍♂

When I first saw the headstock I was like whoa, a Dean!

i usually hate aged guitars, but for some reason i very much like this one. are those stainless frets?

I met the man, played a little bit for him on two of his guitars. What a moment.

If you could get your hands on one, I'd like to hear your thoughts about the RJ super vintage guitar..

It looks more like a Yamaha Revstar than a Gibson SG. Love the finish and it sounds amazing.

Have you heard of Guitar Fetish? They just released a new guitar brand last week called SBS! They look awesome and I think it would be an excellent guitar to try out!

Of course open pore is just another term for higher profit for the guitar builder. I don't understand why anyone would want a phoney aged guitar. But, looks aside it sounds very sweet and clear without distortion. The video was very well done so thank you!

hi Darrell. can you do a video comparison between gibson sg and ibanez s series ?

Looks great but I can't help feeling the shotgun shell knobs are a bad decision. I'm not keen on SG's but I really like this one. Good luck everyone!

Reminds me of my old Aria Pro 2 CS-250.

Hello Darrell That is a very beautiful design for an SG. There is an old Italian brand by the name of EKO that makes budget guitars, they have a beautiful headstock can you check this brand and do a review in the future for some of their guitars. I saw a very interesting guitar which is EKO Aire relic, maybe you can check on this.

You know it's been said a million times. Someone will say, if I'm buying a new strat, l.p. whatever, I line them up and pick out the one that is the best for me. It can be the same year, model yet there are slight differences in the sound. It made from wood. We have no control of. So sometimes you'll find that ax that has the mojo. This one has that mojo. I'd rock it. Sound good clean and distorted. In my humble opinion.

What. A. Beauty!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds great but what were the amp settings?

So, how much does it cost?

Прямо слюни текут в процессе рассказа! Великолепно!!! 😊

Sounds pretty good even on my phone speaker..👍

Love PAOLETTI, hate block inlays.

I'm normally not a fan of them, but this is the one time I actually think dot inlays would look better.

A work of art for sure. Don’t really like the shotgun shell knobs. Definitely looks hand made.

Very cool. I wouldn't trade my Gibson SG for one though.

Great guitar playing in a very entertaining video as always, but why in the world is no price attached to this if it's that expensive that I have to request information I really don't want it.

Sick

I can’t imagine paying that kind of money for any guitar, let alone one that looks like it spent the last two decades being dragged behind a garbage truck, but it certainly sounds great. I love SGs and although this one sounds a lot brighter than the typical Gibson, its pure, bell-like tones are sweet.
