What is this where are the guitars wtf

[@explorervango880]

Demo Shop. $1699 for Gibson SG Standard 61 Maestro Vibrola three months ago. Biggest issue with the guitar was the wood didn’t take the stain as dark as was expected and there were light streaks on the front, back, and neck. It has a different look-that’s why I picked that one. Also tightened the screws on the vibrola to stop a lot of annoying rattle,and remember it’s there for looks not what it adds to tuning stability. Great guitar.

[@sixbladeknife44]

I don’t have any Epi SG’s, but I have three Gibsons: 2010 GC exclusive SG Standard, 2020 ‘61 Standard and a recent Iommi Special. The Iommi’s neck is BIG, it’s just a touch bigger than my R8 Les Paul and it’s super resonant. The nice thing is that between Epi and Gibson, there’s an SG for everyone’s budget.

[@LordFuzzman]

Images of the guitars would have helped so much 👍🏻

[@hampusnilsson6950]

Some pictures om said guitar during talk sould be nice. Great show.

[@msguitargal11]

I recently bought an Epiphone SG special.....the cheap imported model with humbuckers and am quite disappointed in the neck. I thought it would be much slimmer. Is it possible to swap out the neck for a slimmer one. Just curious but maybe it would just be a waste of money. I basically wanted to add an SG style guitar to my collection. I am actually still working on the set up as the action is higher than I would like. Not having much luck there though. Guess I should have bought a pricier model.

[@larsfocken3456]

Epiphones are good platforms for modding. So if you want an SG in your collection and you don't insist on having a Gibson get the Epiphone Standard 60s. Set it up properly and over time you can change the pickups and the hardware by something else. I replaced the Probuckers with Gibson Burstbuckers 2 & 3 that I had lying around and it's a massive improvement! Tailpiece and bridge come from Faber, Germany. They offer all parts with metric mesurements which is required for guitars built overseas. Thank you for ths helpful video 🙂

[@bluwng]

I don’t like modding, I want to play the thing right off hand.

[@tonkageorge]

Good summary. Thank you

[@Terry3Gs]

Good job on this !!

[@andreyvanakoff9412]

For me top 3 Gibson SGs are: 1Junior, 2 Specials P90 year 2019+. Why? They have heavy versions, around 3 kg -> NO NECK DIVE! Quite resonant and beautifully playing guitars, from clean to djent tones. For Specials two super red and blue metallic colors. Just perfect guitars. #3 would go for any Gibson SG Standard without neck dive, difficult but possible to find. As a bonus, kinda #4 i would choose Epiphone, can be either Special P90 very similar to Gibson or Muse series. Quite cool guitars for money and/or SG experience.

[@TommySG1]

The Gibson SG Tribute might be the best bang for the buck option, I used to own one. If you like chunkier necks and don’t mind the lack of neck binding it’s definitely the guitar for you. The Standard’s neck is narrower and somewhere in the middle of a 61’ and the Tribute neck~wise.

[@jordanpratt3821]

I agree with the sg special praise. Loved the guitar and the pickups so much I also had to have the LP special.

[@DrJeebles]

I'm planning on a Tribute or Epiphone Worn with P90's, depending on a few things; mostly money. The Tribute tends to have a thicker neck, which I love. I just fixed up and gave away my old Epiphone SG and can't wait for a new one. Great video, as always. Keep it up, John and Zach.

[@ShaneO-nm2hh]

Great video. Agree exactly with everything you said.

[@sinakaedwards2009]

This is a great video for guys like me that just love the technical side of bass and guitar. You guys should do a Wylde Audio demo, just because Wylde audio has a unique neck shape. I think it is called the Zakk C.

[@TaylorLansdale]

This is so helpful.

[@NYCguitarist]

Great job, thank you. ❤

[@wickedgit]

I already have a red 61 SG and i just wanted a bigger pickguard black SG. The Gibson standard ebony was almost 2000 dollars and i didnt have the money for that i looked at the Epiphone SG standard ebony and choosed that..in the beginning it was ment that i saved up maby 200 and my father gave me a couple od 100s to cover up the rest but at the end he payed it all, he gave me the guitar. The price was 529 instead of the Gibson for 2000. Its a great SG even better than my 61 epiphone. It needed a set up, a fretlevel and I changed the bridge pickup to hotter pickup, maby gonna replace the tuners to grovers(like the gibson version) in the near future. Didnt like the kluson type tuners too much. After the set up it was really nice to play. I two now i can choose to play either a small pickuard SG or a big pickguard SG...just like Angus Young.. although he has a lot more SGs and all Gibsons.

[@jmproductions59]

Hi John, just wondering about your strong preference for the SG Tribute over the Epi 61 Les Paul SG... Is it mainly a value-based thing or you are not too impressed with the Epi? Also... are you sure you think the Epi Prophecy is mainly a metal, heavy rock guitar? I played it a couple of times in the shop, and it sounds like it can do anything?? Thanks! Great overview.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Thanks for watching, Unfortunately they discontinued the SG Tribute, but at 1299 being a Gibson made in the USA with premium features it was a better value than Epiphone. I am still impressed with the Epiphones. I personally can't get into the Prophecy, particularly I'm not a real fan of Fishman Fluence pickups but that is just me. I prefer real pickups with magnets

[@stonemad35]

I'm going to pick up a Gibson 61 with the stop bar. Love 'em.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Great choice! In stock too: www.zzounds.com/a--3979398/item--GIBSG6100 Let us know how you like it, it's one of my favorites!

[@stonemad35]

@@PlayandTradeGuitars yup, that's the one. Gotta pay off some other gear first.

[@FortessofShred]

I'm lusting over an Epiphone cross inlay Tony Iommi and a Blueberry Fade SG Modern

[@myrnabrean]

Nice work, lads.

[@Les537]

I have a few gibson SGs. A key point with the '61 is that the head stock is not as wide. It's the old school thinner one. This makes the 61 sit very nice on the strap. I don't like the '61 pickups - too hot for me. The '61 is for sure the one to get, IMO.

[@cuda426hemi]

Been an SG fan since early 70s because of the thin necks and my little paws. But.. speaking of beef..I just got a mint Gibson Iommi used ($700 off list) with all foo foo case candy and I don't know if it's the plek job but the Monkey RIPS! The quality feel and precision is off the charts, the looks, the fret nibs, just knowing it was made HERE in Nashville, the P90s are marked on back Tony Iommi RHY and LEAD so I think they are a little hotter than normal Special P90s. Ironically I bought an Epi $179 SG Special to "protect" the Monkey (along with Trunk Monkey of course) from AMS with a kill switch tone pot that is TRICK plus unlike the foo foo Epis with sandy laurel or pau ferro it says it has a rosewood board which is head scratch worthy. Good reviews here, bub!!! 🎸

[@guitartim2128]

I would really like the SG Tribute if it had a slim taper neck. Love the maple neck--even cooler would be a maple fretboard w/dots and natural maple headstock face....with a Flying V shaped headstock. Enuff dreaming LoL 😆👍Great video

[@jubei7259]

I love SG's. I've owned a '92 Standard for over 30 yrs now & I got a '61R from the Custom Shop in 2011. Weirdly enough, I much prefer the Standard but I do think the '61R looks better. They might not be as pretty as any of my LP's but they're just straight-out rock beasts.

[@corporalrich]

So, you wouldn't go with the Zzsounds SG61 Pelham Blue Exclusive with the Epiphone Probuckers? It's a really nice guitar. $620 With the case through Zzounds limited run?

[@corporalrich]

It's a stand up guitar. It does go against Gibson.

[@jeffallen3382]

Who won the Gold top Les Paul you just gave away?

[@brianbrazil4426]

It would have been nice if you showed photos of each of the models you were talking about when you were explaining the differences between them.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Yes you're right. As I pointed out to others, I included a playlist in the description with full reviews of all of the SGs mentioned. I intended this video to point towards those demos, but sure pictures would have helped. Thanks for the feedback

[@Johnsmusic416]

I always wanted someone to explain the differences. I see Gibson SG for sale from $800 to $3000

[@edwardsmith9801]

I always loved the SG classic. P90s

[@jamesc3890]

I like the 61 reissue/ i thought they had 57’s ,they use to.

[@marlonvanwijland1428]

SG's are one of the best looking guitars and I have absolute no regrets getting an Epiphone SG Standard Heritage Cherry for less than €500... love that thing...

[@billytorney6336]

What about the bonamassa 63 sg 3 pickup are you CRAZY how could you miss this

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

It's already sold out. Someone watching this video six months from now won't have access to it

[@Hbomb731]

I love your vids but pics of each guitar when describing would have been helpful in understanding the differences of the guitars.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

We have video demos for nearly all of these guitars mentioned. Check the playlist in description. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonmyers3847]

Who won the Les Paul Deluxe?

[@spokes28]

Why do so many of the Gibson SG DEMO guitars for sale have cracks at the neck / nut? Doesn’t Gibson know how to make a reliably built neck?

[@ryanmahoney1672]

How about a photo or one note of guitar playing?

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Many have missed the point -- we have extensive demos on ALL of these: kzbin.info/aero/PLGUafGMKbS2AHTvF98fyRSth8lnqwiEmu Thanks for watching

[@sinakaedwards2009]

An idea for you guys if you have not done it already. You could do a breakdown of the best SG to get if you are an Angus Young fan. Epiphone model for the budget people and a gibson that is closest to Angus style.

[@dalepres1]

I seriously do NOT get the faded/worn/crappy-looking finish fad.

[@Thejan8or]

Y'all had this big production around your last giveaway. Why not have the same for the Gold Top??? Not even an announcement? Who won it? C'mon guys!

[@clarkeblacker]

I bought a brand new SG Custom in 1969. It was nothing like I had expected it to be. The batwinged horror was just crap with a lousy neck and the biggest neck heel I'd ever seen. I traded it even for a 1961 Les Paul Custom (SG) a year later, which I owned for 35 years, only finally selling it in 2005. I bought a 2022 Epiphone SG Custom and so far I have replaced the pickups and coil switching with Seymour Duncans, added a custom W/B/W pickguard, a Deusenberg vibrato, gold locking Kluson tuners, a Stringbutler, and had it Pleked. All up, I'm in it for about $1,400-$1,500. It comes the closest to feeling like my 1961 LP SG as any other guitar I've ever played. At 73, I could care less about resale value. I think that resale value is becoming the single biggest difference between US and many Foreign built guitars, that and their nitro finishes.

[@dantepalomba7356]

Being worried about neck dive is the most not rock and roll thing ever. Get a PRS with the seagull inlays lmao

[@ThePedroDB]

Value retention by Gibson guitars is a total 'red herring'. Proportionately, you will lose the same amount on either Gibson or Epiphone in the short term. Less outlay initially on the Epiphone means you could invest the remaining money (you would have spent on the Gibson) to reduce your losses. If you keep the Gibson for long enough, annual price rises on new Gibson guitars will eventually mean you should be able to sell it for what you paid for it.

[@frankdardano3182]

I LOVE MY HONDA BUT I COULD BUY A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR BUTI HAVE NEVER HAD A BETTER CAR AND MY DAD WAS A CADILLAC DEALER! My father said buy the beretta,not the taurus copy. But l liked the taurus,as far as looks. 25 yesrs later he was right.Like it or not when someone asks what do you play when I say Gibson its a different look than epiphone.same as a beretta compared to the taurus which is t he exact gun made on beretta equipment.I guess that a few hundred more at purchase time may be well worth it later,its not my fault.

[@brainpaint]

Just do not like the look or feel of the vibrolas on SGs. As far as the best SGs....I like the Gibson SG Supreme. Good Pickups. Ebony Fingerboard. Diamond inlays. Custom shop Diamond headstock logo.

[@martianmurray]

I think the vibrola is just good for balancing the weight lol

[@Oxygohome]

They all looked the same. The last three you held up were beautiful.

[@wickedgit]

Btw i count in dollars but im from sweden...

[@phenixreturns]

Sg hp not so good ! The bends, the sustain i prefer a sg special not with a bright tone but with a fatter sound and decent bends

[@mrredritehand]

BEST GUITARS EVER MADE.... except for the fuggin neckdive ffs

[@castleanthrax1833]

The SG Standard is Gibson's best selling guitar, too.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

I have yet to experience a single SG with neck dive in this whole group

[@mrredritehand]

@@PlayandTradeGuitars Seriously??? That's cool tho. I own a 21' Gibson Tribute, and a 21' Epi Custom, I love them both and they're the best(imo). But both have neck dive to some degree. I can attest the tribute is a wonderful instrument just as you say. In my experience the tone of a Gibson guitar is just remarkable and really something to behold. I don't think it's just the pickups either. I'm looking at the specials now as I type ha ha. Because of your video dammit!

[@HBSuccess]

Bullcrap. 1500+ 4hr sweaty bar gigs on my ‘71 SG standard. It’s a little neck- divey and it never bothered me in the least.

[@mrredritehand]

@@HBSuccess Hey bro... I believe you...... But ...if you don't believe it's notoriously a common issue for me, and among many other players, then you're denying the truth of the matter... I agree it's usually manageable, and a deal breaker it most definitely is not! And I'm sure there are some SG models that aren't necessarily afflicted with neck dive. But a simple Google search will reveal the truth, not to mention the relative KZbin videos regarding the subject, and the products offered and marketed as a fix for the problem. Some are just worse than others I'm sure, and my Tribute is unbalanced af, but I just compensate for it.

[@boxyhocker]

i hate to be that guy but holy yap

[@themchangesband]

SGs are neck heavy as it is, a maple neck will make that worse...and make the guitar heavier overall. Pass

Mate if you don't have the actual instruments in studio at least make an effort and use some stock images/videos.
