TV Yellow, silver mist. If I can find an extra dark example of the teal that would be #1 and hopefully the sg special gets some color treatment as well. I think they only offer ebony at the moment. Need an Inverness green sg special!!

@matkb2781 7 месяцев назад

I actually love all of these colors but I would probably go with TV Yellow, Teal, Silver or the Pelham burst. Too hard to pick one.

@nocturnal101ravenous6 5 месяцев назад

Picked up a Full Face Ebony Standard 2023, I am more traditional with colors, Yeah neck dive is an issue, I am currently in progress of balancing it out, I like the pickups so Ill be keeping them and everything is fine Electronically, Probably I'll make a harness(its standard JST connector) for the output jack using a chrome Puretone instead of the Switchcraft. Only issue I have is Frets are a little scratchy they need to be polished and the Fretboard is a little course like it wasn't fine sanded enough, not that I should have to but its light finishing work. Upgrades or ascetic choices, I hopped over to Philadelphia Luthiers Picked up a Chrome Truss Rod Cover, Bone Nut, Full Bell Brass plated Chrome Nashville and TOM stop which should add a bit of weight, Chrome etched Poker Chip with Chrome Switch Tip, and 4 Brass Chrome Plated bell hat Knobs, Hipshot open gear locking Tuners. Don't like the Pickguard, the white doesn't match the binding, I am thinking either a Pearloid or Chrome 1-ply acrylic Pickguard just to match my tastes a little better(Bagging all the original parts as usual to go with the guitar). Still I have to say This may very well be the lowest action guitar I have ever setup the fret height is perfect and truss rod adjustment is very fine and smooth, When Gibson gets it right they really get it right but it wouldn't be a Gibson without some finishing work :-) PS- I would suggest getting a clear pickguard for that teal, it looks so nice and get some clear Speed knobs Take a piece of paper, rub out the cavity, cut, and put a 1 ply black inlay into the exposed cavity to cover up the unfinished areas.

@frankwebster9110 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. That transparent teal is a show stopper. It will be my next SG. I will go for the 61 as I have a batwing already, and I kinda like more of that beautiful finish to show. I love that Gibson is doing this! Also the standard I have has the 490 set. They sound great. I put a 498 T in the bridge as an experiment and I took it right back out because that set sounds great as it is.

@@TylerJohnstonGuitar Or black... or maybe kinda natural wood with a reddish tint but... that's it. Okay... we'll do a white one, but only in the custom range. The SG is a great guitar for some people and nice and light compared to Les Pauls. Has it's own feel and character and deserves to have a more modern range of styles available. Could it be that Gibson are finally realising that young people also buy guitars lol ? I mean, I'm not young but I love these new SGs. Well done the new CEO of Gibson. If they can also keep the quality control as high as competitors like PRS then we could - whisper it carefully - be looking at a new golden age of Gibson. Trogly may faint with joy and his bank balance run dry lol.

@TylerJohnstonGuitar 7 месяцев назад

@@martin-1965 I love SGs. They offer a sound you don’t really get from a Strat or a Les Paul. With my paycheck and 3 young kids, my budget limits me to Epiphone and other imports. I believe Epi makes a red one and a blue one, and then there’s a very odd satin green one. I’d love to see more colors trickle down into the price range for the guys like me.

So, Gibson is now getting "new color" ideas from Firefly? Oh, how the once mighty have fallen! And, no, they can't honestly justify the prices they are now asking, especially $1800 without a hardshell case!

@TylerJohnstonGuitar 7 месяцев назад

@@JayMcBride-el5er I don’t think Gibson is the best deal by any means, but all Firefly guitars are is pretty scrap wood.

@WilliamHaisch 7 месяцев назад

It would be neat if Gibson would allow customers to semi-custom order these, like for example, the customer could choose the color, tuning key style (Kluson or Grover), pickguard style (61 or batwing), neck profile (50s or 60s), knob style (reflector or speed), and case type (soft or hard). Gibson could crank out husks with the correct color and neck profile and then attach a build sheet for the final assembly! I would like a 60s neck Teal SG with Grover tuners, 61 small guard, reflector knobs, and a hardshell case.

@mariuszw9665 4 месяца назад

Hell yes! It would be so awesome, I wish I could order SG exactly like Standard 61', but with batwing pickguard and in Heritage Cherry color. SG Standard has pickguard and color I like, but has thicker neck (I prefer slim taper) and grover tuners, which are awesome tuners, but I like SG with Kluson's. Standard 61' on the other hand has better electronics and pickups, but I don't like small pickguard. I can live with vintage color, but I would change it on Heritage Cherry if I could. Tough choice for me. Both guitars are great, and overall beautiful, but because of those differences I can't decide which to choose.

@mariuszw9665 4 месяца назад

... and it sucks that I can't choose which hardshell case I want, because no matter which SG I eventually choose (Standard or Standard 61') I know I want to grab modern black hard case, not the brown one. If I choose 61', I will have to buy black one and sell original. Not being able to choose what I want makes no sense.

@ArmandoLopez-qt6vz 7 месяцев назад

I bought a modern standard in the Pelham Blue Burst finish and I absolutely love it. One thing I found that helped with the neck dive a little bit: I changed the metal buttons on the Grovers to plastic keystone buttons from the Kluson Revolution series. Saved about 56 grams, or 2 ounces, and while it didn't 100% solve neck dive it made it much more manageable. Factor in a decently wide strap and you'd have nothing to worry about!

@frankwebster9110 7 месяцев назад

If those kluson revolutions give you any issues, the Gotoh 3x3 vintage are rock solid. I tried the kluson revolutions and found the gears to be a bit loose. Also, the set I got didn't have a retainer notch or whatever so that whenever I unscrewed the locking knobs a bit too much, they would fall out. Maybe I got a bad set. Not sure.

@ArmandoLopez-qt6vz 7 месяцев назад

@frankwebster9110 Roger that. I didn't want to make any permanent modifications to the headstock by drilling a new hole for those vintage style tuners.I just switched out the buttons on the grovers, which is totally reversible and I get to keep that 18:1 ratio.

@jubei7259 7 месяцев назад

Me too. I love them. They might not be as pretty as a LP but if you want a 'plug in & play' workhorse guitar, you can't go wrong with an SG. They're straight out rock beasts! I've got 2 (92 Standard & a '61R) & I'd recommend them to anyone.

Ooh, I luv me some SG's. I've got 2 ('92 Standard & a 2011 '61R). I prefer the aesthetics of the '61R but the '92 Standard is a beast. Out of all my guitars it's the one that never gets put away & sits right next to my amp for when I just feel like plugging in & letting rip. I've owned it for 30 years & I ain't ever letting it go. I really dig the colour of this green one but while I like the 490 neck pups, not really a fan of them in the bridge. They lack a bit of bite imho. I'll have to give these new models a gander.

@tinystar3010 7 месяцев назад

These color changes finally made me want a SG. I'd go for teal on the 61. The 61 has kluson style tuners which I prefer more as playing it the plastic peg tips dont wear out visually as fast from tuning alot. And the pickguard is ridiculously easy to remove to change guards on a whim. Having the pickups individually mounted makes it simpler to remove one if you want to swap a pickup or repair. And you dont need to remove the bridge to do so. All of that to me far exceeds the $200 price increase. Value is more than just additional features. So that makes the hardshell case a free bonus. If anything the fullguard SG is now overpriced because it's more of a hassle for a live gigging player, and you're still out an additional cost for a proper case.

@itskyyuuuu 7 месяцев назад

Preach

@joermnyc 7 месяцев назад

I think Trogly put a tan on of the soft case through a bunch of “how much of a beating I can give this” test and it did a good job. To me they look like boxing gym heavy bags.

@tinystar3010 7 месяцев назад

Yeah they can be decent, but no soft case will ever match a hard case no matter what. So it's still a non decision there.

@ericbgordon1575 7 месяцев назад

Not only do I like that finish a whole lot myself, but this particular video is one of the more useful ones. If I did end up breaking down and getting my own SG or SG body shape, it does help to know that the right type of strap helps you combat the top heaviness. A friend of mine has got a leather strap attached to his own SG. It definitely does what it should.

@rainypath96 7 месяцев назад

i have a leather strap with suede lining and it works perfectly. the nylon straps will slip and the neck will dive

@ericbgordon1575 7 месяцев назад

I certainly know about that, @@rainypath96. I've actually got a Telecaster with semi hollow cavities (Modern Player Thinline Deluxe) but a standard neck. It is so lightweight, but the standard neck makes that particular guitar top-heavy. During one gig I did 2 years ago, I was holding that guitar over my shoulder while I played synthesizer, and the headstock eventually drifted down to touch the keys. I had to swivel in order to prevent it from playing a key without my permission. It's not an SG, but the top heaviness is synonymous.

@gorlagOv 7 месяцев назад

@JohnnyBGoode9 7 месяцев назад

I'm not gonna lie, a blueburst SG with a 50s neck is something I've wanted for pretty much forever. However, with the prices you can find used SGs for and the price hikes on new Gibsons the last 3 years, it's still significant cheaper for me to find a used one and have it refinished. If and when these hit the used market at a good price, though, I'll be happy to pick one up.

@Masterfighterx 7 месяцев назад

Not that I fiddle with it often, I want a '61 because I don't have to remove the bridge and mess the string height up, the halfguard also looks better to me and I feel the slim taper is more for me as well, currently playing a slightly thinner and narrower ESP Eclipse Standard. I've had an SG Special Faded which had the '50s neck and it felt nice, but so did the Explorer I once had (gotta get my hands on one again, but now it seems they're not really making the regular one anymore for some reason, it's on Gibsons website but was removed from Sweetwater and Thomann..)

Maybe I should go and try them out again. Brilliant video as always.

Also, I think that you should review the '61.

Just how delicate is the Nitrocellulose finish on a guitar ...? Ive only owned one ( 52' Tele reissue ) and it was very sticky !

That SG looks sweet feet and with my favorite pup combo! 490t is where it’s at!

Personally, I'm not into the odd colors; I prefer the more traditional hues. I wish that Gibson would give the option of gloss black, sunburst, cherry, etc... regardless the year.

What about the 2023 silver burst version with the ebony fret board? Don't forget to review that one.

Thank God something new to look forward to being an SG guy. It’s nice to see something new and refreshing.

Save up and save up and save up….then buy a Jaydee Tony Iommi Custom……on a completely different planet to anything Gibson produce….

Love the color

@evanhansch615 4 месяца назад

It's worth mentioning that the hardware on the standard is chrome where as the 61' has nickel. Slightly different look when new but those will age dramatically different.

The teal looks amazing but I'm a traditional red good going Gibson teal on a bigsby would look amazing

Such a nice SG but no hardshell case??

@cuda426hemi 7 месяцев назад

Can you tell me how the Teal fat neck compares to the production run Iommi Monkey SGs beefy neck grind? I have the Iommi and it's a little fat for my hands (used to own 70s SGs so...) but the Plek job makes it so precise and easy to play so I was just wondering. I'm assuming these are factory Plek'd as well? 🎸

I like the 61 in classic white.

I was just shopping for SG's last week. I couldn't find a Trogly video on the 2023's, and honestly the red or black versions are really stale to me. Perfect timing! Glad I waited.

Teal Batwing, Burstbuckers, klusons and Hard brown case ' ...if you please sir ''

I LOVE that green one. Unfortunately I have decided to not buy any more guitars, as I have more than enough!

I know That feeling!

Love the Saint Patrick's day colour SG, but would love a C neck shape, with the small pick guard, but always the opposite. Cheers.

@joermnyc 7 месяцев назад

The batwing is also “modern” with the Grover tuners, compared to the “original” Klusons on the half-guard.

@geezberry8889 7 месяцев назад

i prefer the small pickguard but with a chunky neck so my options are extremely limited. a couple model years from the past or Custom Shop.

@Darth.Shredder 6 месяцев назад

I've owned both. The neck on my new silver mist '61 is actually thicker than the one that was on my 2019 cherry batwing standard. I recently sold that one because I hate the 490's and it's a PCB. The 60's burstbuckers in the '61 destroy the 490's IMO. Custom shop is more than double the price.
