G'day from down here in Australia, mate. Thanks for the video-it was very informative. I'm keen to get an SG to progress my guitar journey, but I've concluded that at my level, there's no point getting a Gibson when only professionals and serious musos can tell the difference. I'm tossing up between this one, the Epi SG custom, and the Epi SG Les Paul 61 (which is a little more expensive). Any thoughts? Thx again.

@@TheSeano How do mate? Thanks for your comment! Much appreciated 😁👍🏻 And I'm excited to hear about your guitar journey too! So... I guess it really depends on a couple of things; How much money you want to spend and what you want for it??? So the only differences between the SG '61 and the Custom are cosmetic. I.e, The custom is black with an ebony fretboard and gold hardware. Otherwise, it's the same instrument for around 100 GBP more. Some people say that black finishes show up scratches easier too, if that kinda thing bothers you 🤷🏻♂️ Then the Les Paul '61 comes with proper Gibson Pickups and a case. So you can kinda justify the extra money for that. Probably the closest you'll get to a proper Gibson without the price tag. That said, it's still not cheap. That's all the advice I can give really, but I hope it's helpful. It ultimately comes down to what you want. But I hope you're very happy with whatever you choose! Cheers 🍻

@@OCDStee Thanks mate very helpful! If I chose between the SG '61 and the custom I'd probably go with the Custom because I like the ebony fretboard and black & gold but now you've pointed out the SG '61 Les Paul is as close to a Gibson without being a Gibson, I think I might have to talk to the wife about upping my budget!. I also like the idea of the aged 60's cherry, a finish like that looks great but also if it gets scratched or dinged it adds to the character. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

I have a the gibson sg standard with the 490t 490r pickups and it rocks.. Epiphone make nice SGs but I just can't get on with the Indian Laurel fretboard.. Its on my Casino and I just don't like how it looks and feels.. I hope epiphone goes back to rosewood.

I find off the shelf budget guitars have nuts that are usually cut too high to prevent buzzing. So much so the chording can be out of tune. I've cut/installed Tusq nuts on several. It's nice this one comes with a one, well-cut. I prefer the smaller pickguard, the thin neck and the heel on the 61 which is much closer to the body. Glad you're happy with it. I'm a big fan of Epiphone guitars. I put Dimarzio Super Distortion (bridge) and Bluesbucker (neck) in my Epi Les Paul Plus Top Pro. It gets raves.
@OCDStee5 ай бұрын
@@fifteen8 Yeah, I seem to recall that being the case too, that the nuts were cut too high. Seems to be the opposite now though, in my experience. But yeah, I'm well impressed with this Epiphone. They have massively improved since I had an SG400 as a teenager in the late 90s/ early 2000s!
