I recently purchased the EPIPHONE SG Classic Worn Cherry with P 90s, I really didn't know what to expect??? But to my amazement, the sound , feel and build has been above and beyond all expectations, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. And it won't be my last SG , your reaction s and reviews are always spot on , you have great communication skills which many on you tube lack. On a personal preference, I Love the Full Bat Wing pick guard.
I like this dudes playing and style. He knows what he’s doing but makes it look very natural and with a cool vibe And I am absolutely f€&kin Lovin that Mustard/Yellow Finish 🙌🤘
I am really fighting the temptation to buy one. They are amazing. At $1,599, however, they are like double what they were a decade ago and I can’t stomach that. If they were $1,200 I would have one now. I bought my 2017 SG Standard new for like $1,200 and that wasn’t that long ago.
@@jcwoodstl same here, guitar and instrument prices in general are going crazy across the board. I'm debating buying the tv yellow standard, but if they made one with p90s or a tv yellow special I would hop on it asap.
QUESTION: Is this Rounded profile the same as you'd see on the Tribute series? I'm very excited to get that Pelham Blue Burst!! Been waiting FOREVER for a guitar like this :D
A flying V and Explorer without the pick gaurd wooooo, looks so clean, SGs are just beautiful, sparkling burgundy is got a Christmas vibe! Everyone should have an SG, I would like the one with a vibrola, Adrian Smith from Maiden plays an SG, my favorite player. In my opinion, you win and cant go wrong with Gibson, killer tone machines.
The SG is the guitar shape that I absolutely love to use, so this video is fantastic for me 🤩 they are all beautiful guitars with an incredible sound, after having bought several Epiphone SGs which also sound very good in some models, I bought a standard black Gibson SG like the one you tried in the video. What to say ? Overall, a wonderful guitar and valuable in every part, the electronics are truly a feather in the cap, I didn't think so. Practically now I can't sleep away from her at a distance of less than 5 metres, think a few days ago I had to do some small maintenance on her and I told my trusted luthier to do it within 24 hours otherwise I would have gone crazy 😂😂😂
You're correct. The Standard comes with PCB. The 61 and special have orange drop caps. At least, according to the Gibson website. I was thinking the same as you so I wanted to go check.
SG Supreme is best version. That and a standard are best of both worlds. Not sold on the 24 fret modern neck diver. Tone better on supreme due to AAA maple cap and better pickups.
Discontinuing the SG Tribute was a stupid mistake. Can't believe you stopped making the best SG in the lineup but then it was the best price. The new colours are alright, I mean it's better than black and red but they don't make me go "Yes I need that!“. Pelham blue not in a burst would be amazing. Maybe a light pink, a nice jade green etc. Gibson, doing what the fans don't want again.
we know its coming. the custom colour for SG.All colour are epic, hard to pick one. sometimes, i wonder if LP have LITE why dont SG have a Thick version.
SG is my favorite body shape by miles, no other body shape comes close. I adore the neck of my SG modern which is the best playing neck I've ever touched, but prefer the body thickness on my '61 reissue since the moderns are a bit thicker. I would kill for AAA quilted or flame bodies. I'm a bit tired of cherry, ebony and the other regular stand by SG colors.
The SG is by far my all time favorite guitar, it’s super comfortable, it’s light in weight, and it has that Gibson sound 🤙 I own three of them currently and love all three. None of mine are custom shop either, perhaps some day.
I have all the Custom shop Gibson "Satan's Guitars". They're prettier and much more expensive than the stock ones but still don't play or sound any better.
I bought an sg epiphone as a first guitar and then switched to a les paul ... traded it in because i couldnt get used to the figured top ... and been an sg player ever since .
I own several vintage SGs but the modern ones are great guitars with a lot of potential. I really like the version with the lyre maestro vibrola. First thing I would do is rip out the electronics and put some nice Pots by Vintage Inspired Pickups in it. They are hard to get at the moment but they have ratings about 550k, so they will give you a lot more clarity. Modern Gibsons tend to be really fat and they tend to miss the transparency and the single coilish vibe of the vintage examples. So get some nice low output pickups without wax. Check out the Mojotone 59 Clone in the Low Output version, which are really affordable. I have a set of Mid60s-PatentNumber Pickups and the Mojotones come pretty close. 50s wiring is necessary. A bass cut with a little trim pot is a great addition for the neck pickup, especially on a SG.
Although I'd seen/heard a few SG players (Santana et al.), it was Rod Price of Foghat that inspired me to own a Red SG. Man, that SG looked so cool on him - and the tone! I've owned a couple in the past, and currently own a Standard in Heritage Cherry. I used to think the half pickguard, like on the '61s, was cooler. Between the five I played in the store; two were '61 reissues. I'm glad I settled on the Standard with the full pickguard. Thanks for the content.
Dinesh and Gibson, thank you for these gear guide series! Much appreciated and love learning about the differences between models! Funny was watching the Andertons factory walk through and saw the silver mist color on the line and I was like "hold the phones", where do you get that color! Now I know, LOL!!!!
The SG is an amazingly great instrument. Truly an unsung hero. The V is my first love and the first Gibson I got new in 1976. It was stolen. I've only discovered how amazing the SG is in the past couple of years. I picked up a black standard from the demo shop and I absolutely love it! It has 490's in it! I've realized I'm a 50's -neck profile guy. I love the rounded necks. I do have a couple of 60's profile Pauls and they are really nice, but not my preference. The SG an awesome guitar! I also own 5 Pauls and a 67 V. The SG is right up there and even better.
What immediately turned me of to the modern SG Standard with 490 pickups was seeing it had a circuit board in the control cavity instead of wiring for the pots and capacitors. No Way!
Whenever I play SGs with the “slim taper” neck I find they feel different than Les Paul’s with the same neck shape - are they different specs, or is it more a perception thing because the guitars sit better due to the SG being more “forward” with its bridge position?
If SG’s feel weird when you pick them up just give them a bit. You get used to it and come to realize that they are truly the best guitars. I still love my Les Paul/PRS/Tele/Strat/etc but the SG is my favorite.
I just got a silver mist with a really dark rosewood board. You'd think it was ebony. Not just dark, really smooth too. There's nothing worse than a cheap, dry looking, light rosewood. Unfortunately Gibson has many of those so I never blind buy one. The silverburst batwing version at Guitar Center has an ebony fretboard if you like the regular SG standard.
I know that few people use them this way, (check out Phil Miller and Phil Lee for two examples, particularly with Hatfield & The North and Gilgamesh) but the SG, like the Les Paul, has GLORIOUS clean tones. Thank you for demonstrating that here.
Hi! I'm Paolo from Italy... I love you Gibson Sg! And with these colors you're tempting me adding some new guitars to my little collection... thanks for existing!
I’ve wanted to get an SG for quite some time now and I’m actually glad I waited . I truly love the look , sound and feel of the ‘61 in Cardinal Red Burst . Not that the Pelham Blue Burst doesn’t call out to me as well but , between the two , I like the red better . Which is odd as I’ve never really been a fan of red anything . Some things just look good in red and an SG is one of those things . Maybe later on I can add the blue one . This will be my first Gibson and I’m hoping all the QC issues have been dealt with . Take care everyone , rock on !
So it has TEN tones to go through total? Man this thing loaded to the gills. I have my eye on a 61SG Standard. It does classic rock better than most guitars out there.
The SG is such a great guitar! The sounds, the feel, the ergonomics, the look, the weight… it has nothing to envy from other models, it has it all. Rock, blues, metal, jazz… there is nothing you can't play on an SG. I own two of these beauties. A 2002 Standard HC and a 2023 61 Standard VC. Quite different guitars actually: body shapes, necks, neck joints, humbuckers, electronics […] are different. Each has a unique voice, that's for sure. Both sound amazing!
Love this post! Stellar playing and commentary make it a joy to watch and LISTEN to, no doubt many more views in my future! Like learning more about an old friend...awesome.
