Gibson SG Tribute - In-Depth Demo!

[@voiceofexperience]

The real surprises here were the tasty clean tones! Much nicer than those of a typical Les Paul.

[@reddieseled]

Some versatile tones coming from those pickups. Sounds like a fender in the sweet spot plus all the mid range fullness you don't normally get with a fender

[@Anjohl]

I think the Maple necks on those Tributes are a secret cheat code!

[@yaboyreege7158]

Man this guy is a great player. He really demonstrated well how the SG can put out multiple different tones and sound good doing them all. I love these guitars

[@mrredritehand]

The neck is maple bro, I have a 2020 model in walnut finish and absolutely love this guitar! Put some nickel covers on the pups and some proper knobs and it's a rock n roll machine!

[@chrishenderson9130]

Hows the neck dive?

[@mrredritehand]

@@chrishenderson9130 It is there but nowhere near unmanageable. I play mostly sitting down tho.

[@msaintpc]

@@mrredritehand I put a Bigsby vibramate system on mine, neck dive went bye bye:)

[@dimitrisaivaliotis5616]

Hi there What is the difference with the pickup covers?

[@mrredritehand]

@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 ? Well the Tribute doesn't come with pickup covers.

[@cchavez248]

Great demo! I'm not sure why, but I've always lived the sound of the 490's, probably even more than I like the more expensive Gibson pickups!

[@Chrosa]

He was feeling this SG, great playing.

[@lousekoya1803]

Great demo,...seems like a great guitar !

[@nutsocket]

great demo ---love clean guitar

[@jimmyhartman573]

I got one of each color , the 2019 model needed about 300$ worth of work to make playable . . second one i got 2022 model walnut came to me about perfect . . great guitars , and yes nickel covers takes the shreik out of them . no replacements needed

[@jvictortorreblanca]

Carbontech nut gives them the stability we dream of 😍😍😍

[@milesprouten9376]

Excellent demo.

[@msaintpc]

If it came with rolled fretboard edges and dressed fret ends it would be a killer axe. I filed down the sharp saw tooth fret ends and rolled the board's edges with a screw driver, it now plays plays like a dream.

[@spacejockey4746]

And about $500 more - at least. I hate stupid comments like yours.

[@buckybond2468]

The neck is maple, not mahogany.

[@NA-oo4ls]

Pretty sure these have maple necks

[@tonyalcantar8378]

Great guitar!! Great playing!! And of course those playing faces!! 🤣🤣

[@JJ-bm2jj]

Did he just go from Blues to Jazz? That was hot

[@HorizonMelt]

I've recently seen an SG Special faded that had humbuckers instead of p90s. Does anyone know the difference between that and the SG tribute?

[@ironandzinc]

I thought the neck is maple

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

*Man, I love that opening song! That guitar to me sounds better and brighter than the SG Standard! 🎙🎼🎵🎸🎶 Definitely seems like a deal with the price of it.*

[@moonwalkerkop4479]

They both have the same pickups though

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

@@moonwalkerkop4479 I know. With my experiences with Gibson Les Paul models, the open pickups aren’t as dark in sound and have that fat biting tone I like.

[@timrussell1559]

In the market for a new S.G, been debating back and forth between the standard vs the tribute. Like the standard better but just can't decide whether or not the added features it has is worth the additional 400 to 500 dollar increase in price. Especially considering the differences seem to be mostly(if not all)cosmetic

[@timrussell1559]

@T K There are a few more differences between the two. The standard comes with binding, a full size pickgaurd, and a more durable clearcoat finish. I personally have decided that even though the standard is much more expensive, its worth the additional cost and i'm going to buy one. Regards

[@msaintpc]

@Tomislav Kraljić The tuners are garbage and can't stay tuned for five minutes, even if you aren't even playing it.

[@joshcheaney7322]

@@msaintpc thats probably a setup problem rather than a tuner issue

[@daveshort6568]

@@msaintpc bullshit.

[@daveshort6568]

Stretch your strings. No tuning issues whatsoever.

[@Arcangel_D]

I am aware the neck is maple, not mahogany

[@edwarddilegge4307]

Damn can you play. The video was a great review but you stole the show by your amazing playing. I was looking for a review on this guitar because I am buying one today and this here video you made is awesome but I was more amazed and interested in listening to you play then I was learning more about the guitar lol. So in essence you stole the show,,, but in a great way lol... But like i stated, Damn you can play, your an amazing guitarist and thank you for sharing I will for sure be looking and watching your videos... :)

[@rongrape2939]

Want one!

[@JJ-bm2jj]

WTH, WHY HE STOP PLAYING???

[@Marshall_EL34]

Damn my boy jim can play. Rock on …

[@kierri]

I’m stuck between getting an SG Tribute or a PRS Custom - both similar prices. Can’t decide - any help?

[@thepatriot4355]

I have the Gibson Standard tribute Sg and I also have a Epiphone Sg modern the Epiphone modern is the better guitar

[@benallmark9671]

In your opinion. I’ve had both too and completely disagree.

[@BarryPennock]

Can you get it with metal tuners?

[@dustymyles244]

SG stands for sexy guitar right?

[@adam__mark]

Love it! Haha stealing it haha

[@roenker69]

Can we get some bass demos? WTF!!!

[@NStuffMusic]

You have an open invitation to bring that sweet Geddy Lee Signature Bass of yours in and make some demo magic happen!!

[@milankotevski1663]

Sweet sounding cleans, Aliexpress dirty tones.

[@markrogers79]

I have many SG models and this is a good solid guitar. Drawbacks: terrible fret ends. Ugly volume tone and volume knobs. For a USA guitar frets should be finished better. Come on Gibson get with it get some pride on finishing up you QC

[@anirv2011]

imagina si le haces el split coil

[@fedestrat2caster]

Great review! Do you know how much it weights? Thank you!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Oh dear! A fall at the first fence. It doesn't even look like mahogany

[@ralex3697]

Those tuners ?

[@devinsparks1523]

Isnt the neck maple?

[@mrredritehand]

Yup

[@TheAmphibic]

neck is maple .... honest .... ffs

[@FrankBuyers...guitarista-iu3zg]

No real significance between the Gibson standard Tribute Sg and the Gibson standard Sg.. practically the same exact Sg

[@tomthki4190]

Buy mu neck binding!

[@FrankBuyers...guitarista-iu3zg]

@@tomthki4190 neck binding is for show other than that serves zero purpose plus the now discontinued tribute standard Sg is the closest to the old school Sgs of the late 1960's and early 70's like mine but I prefer my 2021 high end modern figured Sgs over Gibson by a country mile
