Totally agree with your review. I never liked SG's at all... from the look to the neck dive. But I have almost every other style guitar and so I bought a Gibson SG 61 reissue just for the hell of it and because I had cash to burn. And now it's one of my all time favorite guitars....as much as my PRS core 24, Gibson Les Paul classic, fender American telecaster, fender American standard stratocaster, etc. Also agree that the 61 burstbuckers are by far the best Gibson pickups I've ever played... crystal clear, with plenty of brightness and warmth at the same time.... outstanding. Really great review!

I'm buying this axe tomorrow morning. I already bought this same model in the same color with the shark tooth tremolo and it's really beautiful to look at, but unfortunately, due to the tremolo system it's impossible to keep that model in tune. It won't even stay tuned long enough to get thru the first bar of a chart. So I ended up giving it to my son and he took the tremolo off, he doesn't care what it looks like with all the now new extra holes in it, all he cares about is how it plays and the fact that it's an American made Gibson. However, this hard tail model won't have that problem. I've purchased many Gibson SG Standards and many Les Paul's and many USA Fenders and basses and both Marshall and Fender amps not to mention pedals, from zZounds. They never let me down and I won't let them down either. Can't wait to get this guitar!😇 👍

I recently bought the '61- my first SG - and couldn't be happier. Though I love hot-rodding my guitars, there's nothing with this SG that screams to be replaced right off the bat. If I do wind up changing anything on it down the road, it won't be due to a perceived "inadequacy" or factory QC issue. Gibson came up with a pretty dang well balanced guitar in all aspects. Definitely worth the couple of C-notes more than the Standard, imho (though that Bat Man pick guard is pretty rad in its own right). I feel ya on the neck dive, but I've experienced worse with more expensive six strings.

I wasn't aware the neck pickup on an SG was closer to the bridge than on a Les Paul. That makes sense now, with the tones. I personally like the batwing guard, but that's never been a deal breaker for me. There's an ebony one just like this with the '61 pickups in the Demo Shop I have been drooling over for a few weeks. It will be gone soon. I love this guitar. Nice playing demo on this one, John. Very nice.

Tried a SG 61 with the sideways vibrola yesterday and really loved the feel of the guitar. I wouldn't use the vibrola but the added wight is great for keeping the neck up where it should be. What I haven't seen anywhere is a comparison of the tone between the stoptail version and the vibrola equipped SG's. My guess is the stoptail probably has better sustain but if anyone knows I'd love to hear. Great video, thanks!

On the first morning the new Original series 61’ came out I ordered a side trem version from Sweetwater. I love the new one and it definitely captures the mojo of my original one. The side trem still doesn’t work buts it’s fine if you don’t touch it. It looks too cool to opt for the stop tail piece. Anyway, nice review.

For Christmas I got a 61 Epiphone reissue 61 in aged gloss white it's a awesome guitar absolute bargain for $900. There's a bit of mystery with the 61 SG. The custom shop version has a different carv to the right side horn by the pick guard on the back. The bevel ends just before the point of the horn. Originally people thought this was an error but apparently it's how it should be. This came up with Epiphone 61 reissue. The other interesting mystery about the SG is the Epiphone Wilshire Crestwood and coronet. It's believed that they were a precursor to SG which makes sense when you take a look at the control layout placement of pickups and neck joint. The Wilshire was introduced in 1959 two years before the SG. Again great video.

I might prefer the smaller guard on this model over the batwing guard. The thing is, my first look at an SG was in the footage of The Who on the Woodstock stage. The one Pete Townshend slung had the batwing guard. For that reason, I did confuse it with the Strat. Fortunately, the later footage of both Country Joe & the Fish and Santana helped clear up what I was really seeing. That was in ‘94, when I was 14 and hadn’t yet learned almost anything about guitars or basses.
@bryancollins67964 ай бұрын
SG guitars feel strange to Les Paul players for two reasons; the waist point of SG is about 1.5 inches closer to the bridge and as noted the pickups are closer together. The guitar feels more shifted left. The SG will have less lower bass frequencies as well. This effect can be comparatively heard as more clarity or brightness. If you don't like the neck dive because you didn't get the model with the factory Maestro, add a horseshoe Bigsby, and the problem's gone (it worked for Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones). These aren't the lesser brother of the Les Paul, they're just different. So if you have an LP you might appreciate adding an SG to your collection.

I'm not crazy about it, but it was ridiculously cheap at the time. I almost pulled the trigger on one of these because I wanted a more classic style SG, but went with the Epiphone '61 instead and have absolutely zero regrets. Comes with Gibson Burstbuckers, CTS pots, Mallory caps, Switchcraft toggle and jack, AND a hard case... all for under a grand. It has more of a satin finish, but I quite like it. It even includes the "Les Paul" truss rod cover. Weird that the Gibson doesn't.

If you rest your right forearm on the upper bass end of the guitar, you'll not have any neck dive.

Although I love the shape and look of the SG, I can't get used to that thin body and the feel of it's just a piece of plywood with a neck. I think the body should be thicker, at least as thick as a strat. JMO
