My First Gibson is an SG Standard!

[@nick2844]

Yeah sometimes I like the look when it's a darker red or cream white. But the brighter red models I often find to 'aggressive' looking with the horns

[@jacobash3723]

Im mainly an acoustic player, play a lot of rhythm stuff in my band, and having had strats, teles, les Paul's etc. I've actually found sgs to be the most similar in feel to playing an acoustic, especially when sat down (just something I've noticed) probably with how it rests on your leg, fret sizes and where the bridge sits. In tone it's warm but can be hot when needed. Really versatile tbh. SGs are for me are the most underrated electric guitars, glad I opened my eyes to them.

[@landonbailey]

thanks for sharing!

[@CretanBull]

The classic/vintage Gibson bridge is called an ABR and they screwed right into the body of the guitar. The Nashville bridge was an update on that. The Nashville bridge screws into metal bushings in the body and it has a thumbwheel that raises or lowers the entire bridge. The Nashville bridge is also wider than the original ABR.

[@landonbailey]

that sounds like a quality upgrade. thanks for the info

[@Dram1984]

@@landonbailey it is an upgrade in every way but guitarists being guitarists some people still insist the ABR is better. An equivalent fender argument is top loader vs. string through.

[@JohnS-yf8dn]

Hi Landon. Welcome to the SG family. I have a number of guitars of different makes and from different manufacturers, but SGs are my favorite. I currently own four Gibson SGs and those are the guitars I play the most. Some of it is that emotional connection that I have to some of my favorite bands, like you have with Badfinger and Radiohead, but I love the feel of SGs and the tonal variety (it cleans up nicely and has a great mid-range growl). Gibson, IMO, has really stepped up their game the last two years under their current leadership and I really like the direction the company is heading. Anyway, thanks for the video and hope you have many hours of enjoyment playing your new guitar.

[@landonbailey]

cheers thanks for sharing!

[@matthewsommerville88]

It was my first Gibson too, wife got it for my birthday. I was surprised to love it more than my fenders due to its feel in the hand. Still prefer a fenders sound but the form factor of the SG was made for me

[@chrisjeneson3763]

Gibson can be spectacularly good, they have something in the feel when you pick them up, I can't explain it but you know it when you feel it, they are just different. Your sg sounds immense.

Fender guy here, but I do have one Gibson in the arsenal. "The power of the brand", as you said, also an SG. The 2014, 120th Anniversary model. As far as Gibson's go, I like it.

[@RobertNolan]

I got my first this past year too. I saw an ugly refin'd, with pickups swapped, '74 ES-345 that just played really well. It's the only Gibson I've ever owned even after playing a bunch of SG's and Les Paul's, and I'm really happy with it. I've really been interested in the SG but I might hold off because I'm building a telecaster -I'm sure that'll catch your attention.

[@landonbailey]

ah cool! builds are fun 👍

Wait till next year and the market will be flooded with cheap SG's. They got popular again recently and every company producing an SG style with crazy prices.

[@koDaffi]

@@RobertNolan Nice, you just like the look of the sideways? I'll have to look up some playing of one. You can only do slight wobbles on those right? Could probably get some funky sounds out of 1. I like the look of both sideways and maestro, may have to go in a store and try them both. Heard they both have their ups and downs.

[@randallcl9925]

I imagine that everyone tries each brand/model at least once. I saw videos that list "the 5 guitars you must buy" and took it to heart. I own a couple of Fender Players, some G&Ls and Squiers. Tried Epi and liked those but now own two Gibson Tributes (2019 LP and 2021 SG) and love them. Both are flawless and I love the feel and sound, they are unique and everyone should try them. Not necessarily better than Fender or Gretsch or others but have that special Rock and R&R sound.

[@landonbailey]

thanks for sharing

[@christophercortez7191]

The modern has the grover tuners, the bulkier strap buttons, quick connect pcb pickups as opposed to 50s style hand wiring, and a nashville bridge. Also the 61 variant has the typically preferred Burst Bucker pickups and a hardshell case.

[@landonbailey]

good info cheers!

[@AlYeah73]

The SG is the best choice by far for me. Sounds great, not exactly like a Les Paul but close enough for a guitar that's like half the weight. The necks tend to be a little wider than stratocasters but their high fret access is way better. They do have neck dive issues, but like Landon said, they're easily solved. There's a reason it's the best selling guitar Gibson makes.

[@landonbailey]

cheers!

I'm planning on getting a 61 standard later this year. I wasn't a fan of the look of the SG for a long time but at my job I see them every day and it's really grown on me. Thom Yorke makes it look good, that's a big part of it. The neck is very thin on the 61 and I like the feel of it.

i think we are in a golden age for Gibson guitars. The SG has grown on me over the years. My main complaint about les pauls is the super bassy front pickup and it's not as bad on the SG. I think P90s are better in the front position to be honest for les pauls

You're nuts! Nice review though. I have the '61 Maestro Vibrola SG (reissue) and like it very much. Being a Fender Stratocaster player my entire life (I'm 114 years old)...I don't do well without the Vibrola arm. SGs of this type get a bad rap for going out of tune with the Vibrola attachment but I use it for subtle tones and it's fine. Dive bombing may be a different story. Anyway it's my first Gibson SG and it's delightful. Glad you like yours -

[@nellayema2455]

Beautiful guitar! My 2019 Standard (in 2019 the '61 style was called the Standard) with a hard case, a black Gibson leather strap and a Gibson multi-tool. It's interesting to see the difference a model year makes. I did send mine to Gibson Repair and restoration to take care of tool marks on the fretboard and neck binding. They did a fantastic job under warranty.

The SG was my choice for my first Gibson as well. I went for a brand new Standard 61’ in the GC exclusive Tobacco Sunburst finish. I’ve fallen in love with it and it will be lifelong guitar for me! It seems that over the past few years Gibson has really turned their QC issues around, unfortunately it seems like Fender are now the one with issues mainly on their USA models. My SG came out of the box flawless, minus a volume pot that went out after a few weeks which Gibson warrantied without issue. Enjoy your SG!

[@adamdarmstaedter1256]

I have a 2001 SG Standard that looks basically identical to that one. I really like the thick neck. It's not quite 50s, but very beefy. I just added some Kluson Revolution 19:1 ratio tuners. I do not like the 490R and 498T pickups in mine, so I am going to install some P90 style pickups soon. You should try the "top wrap" stringing method where you deck the tailpiece and route the strings toward the back of the guitar and wrap them over the top. The tailpiece is making solid contact with the top, but the reduced angle over the bridge lowers the tension of the strings. I think it is more comfortable that way.

[@landonbailey]

Gibson typically uses 500k on their humbucker guitars to combat muddiness, and Fender typically uses 250k to tame brightness of their single coils. That’s pretty much standard. You can safely assume this SG has 500k pots.

Thanks again Landy you usually guitar with troy. I'll happen to love gibson's. I'm an old fart and everyone that I love to play gibson's. My main love is the firebird. 1973 Johnny winter's third album comes out and on the cover he's holding his firework. That was my that was the start of a love of Firebirds and of Johnny Winter who is my favorite. And I know he's hanging out in heaven and wishing he's still at his firebird there maybe he does who knows? LOL I didn't mention the price on my last comment that I paid for my Firebirds and the firebird is stacked with specs. For instance it came with steinberger tuners these are amazing tunas that the easiest then and best soon as I have on any of my guitars. They fit the firebird perfectly because. Stop voice test Chrome on the front of the headstock when you lock them in and they're beautiful in the back is bigger turn them so sort of like the original banditsuness in that respect. Those those tuners are really expensive. It's got titanium saddles it's got cryogenically treated threats originally I thought that was some kind of snake oil thing like tone polishers advertised for. I actually resourced it quite a genital cryogenically treated metal is used in aeronautics and space it increases the strength and hardness by 400% of its original it's original hardness. So yeah it really is a thing and so far the frets haven't even worn a bit quite and I played a lot and I would think they're on par with it's not better than stainless steel because and you don't get that brightness that you get from stainless steel. I can go on with the specs but I'll leave it at that. I paid out the door delivered with a case a case of the size of a coffin with a leather strap with the all-in-one guitar tool kit $1,340 $1,340 yeah the guitar is worth quite a bit more used than it was when the for what I paid for it new. I though do not buy a guitar ever with the sort of selling it. It's nice to know guitars you have of increasing value all of mine have just in these past few years. Because I love the guitars I buy that's why I buy them if I didn't like if the guitar specifically maybe there was a blemish on it something didn't play right you know I would send it back for another one but I wouldn't just sell a perfectly good guitar that I bought because I wanted. Well I'm my next purchase will be another ramp I own it one two band stage right 15 watt 2 band yeah stays right monoprice no it's not a piece of shit it happens to be an amazing amp and if he's anything and it's a category. I also own the boss katana KTN 100 version 1 since I'm blind I never bothered the helping it up to a computer so it hasn't even been updated. I play it like I would any am just as it is. I also own another way that won't even mention I gave it to someone that's alona I'll mention it was the first thing if I want to go along with my first guitar in 27 years the yesterday on now it's a mustang one virgin one. When I first plugged my guitar into it I had nothing at all to compare it to cuz again I hadn't touched anything it's all related as close to 30 years and I was happy with it and I was pretty amazing what I could do. But once I bought the katana and realize that that mustang version 1 I guess says The beginner's practice app is fine but it's basically has the weather used to me except loading it out lol. And I'm thinking of buying the 50 watt I think it's the sb20 stage right head all too bad which is another amazing amp is 400 bucks. I was thinking of buying a Harley Benton vertical twin cabinet 2x12 with celestion vintage 30s in them but my stage right 15w has an output for speaker extension cabinet so I could use it for that and then I can use it for the head if I'm not mistaken the head has three ohm options on the back I mean if anyone reads this and knows nothing about it go check out the reviews and the specs on the 50 watt stays right mono price you'll be very surprised. And yeahyeah I think you people will be surprised if they check that out. I should have bought a better ram probably after my first or second guitar cuz the truth is your guitar is only going to sound as good as the amp and the speaker was coming out of. But you know I wanted a good guitar you know I'm going to stop playing again I don't want to have to fucking kill myself and my hands and fingers trying to play the guitar again. I never realized how much I depended on looking at the key at the fretboard and my hands when I was playing but apparently it was all the time. Now I play I'm not as good as I was then but I still have I don't play as often as I did that either but you know my age I got arthritis carpal tunnel syndrome all that crap so and the biggest problem is not being able to see what I'm playing if my problems you can see but I'm playing I would have progressed much quicker and who knows how well I'll be playing now. But yeah now I just pick up the guitar and we can look because if I look I don't see LOL anyway I'll stop here cuz another novel thanks for your video man again enjoy your guitar and buy another gibson. You know for the prices I charge for a lustful standard and the price to charge for a standard firebird 5 I don't see why people don't buy the firebird. They sound remarkably different. That's probably a reason sincerely us, about the blind personas PS my my SG isn't as light as I hear other people say and I don't think it's as thin as the other it might be but definitely sooner than a Les Paul that's for sure it's as soon as in my firebird I don't think so? I'm not sure. But yeah I advise people to play if I ever see what you're saying

[@Kya_the_camera_dog]

I've always liked the look of an SG. Sweet guitar dude!!!

[@landonbailey]

cheers!

[@monmixer]

You should have checked out the Epiphone 2021 SG 61. what a deal. Full mahogany one piece neck. Killer tuners, CTS pots and burstbucker 2 and 3 pick ups. With a hard case. Well under 1000. It's a Gibson made in china.

[@landonbailey]

it didn't exist yet :) I bought this last year

[@trent69marc]

happy new year and gratz to that great SG dude! I wanted to buy it in the ebenony finish in 21 and this year i will also be a proud owmner. the playability is fantastic

[@trent69marc]

beginning 21 i got a translucent red classic LP which is unbelievable, then a tribute SG, which is also a fantastic guitar .. the next is that SG! ;) the Epiphones are great but not really comparable to a gibson .. thats the way i feel

[@landonbailey]

go for it! 👍🎸

I'm like you man - the "Squier/Fender guy" for some reason. Have never liked the "hard rock" AC/DC Gibson image but Robby Krieger is one of my favs. I also loved James Iha playing that black LP Custom in the 90's. The necks look my cup of tea too with the shorter scale (fan of Jags/Mustangs). I love binding and inlays too. Even LPs are looking more affordable with those tribute models. Hmmmm.

[@anteburazin69]

Pete Ham played one in Badfinger, ( great great band) in the late 60,s into the early 1970,s , before he passed, but my point is if anybody listens or watches bad-finger video clips , from that time you will here Gibson at its best for that group and the music and sound that came out . Nice guitar 🎸, I can smell the newish aroma finish from my lounge room in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺, congratulations mate👌👌

[@landonbailey]

Badfinger are one of my favs!

[@jetjaguar72]

Congrats! I have a Gibson Les Paul Special. Easily my favorite. New Gibson had been making great stuff.

[@landonbailey]

nice!

[@coreysgarden6169]

This must be the year of the sg because right after I ordered mine (same as yours Landon) I saw a few more youtubers I follow get an sg. Never thought I would get a gibson unless I won the lottery, but that quarterly bonus check needed spending lol. Postman should be here before the weekend!

[@landonbailey]

very cool! I know Steve from Boston got one in Ebony. have fun with it!

[@arn999]

Sounds great, looks great.

[@barthrvatin8297]

Excellent choice Landon. It might be time to trade one of your Princetons in on a Marshall DSL40CR. Rock on, buddy! 🤘🏻

[@landonbailey]

maybe a little 5 watt Marshall to sit on top 😝👍

[@barthrvatin8297]

@@landonbailey in all honesty a 5 watt Marshall is all most people need! If you can find a Class 5 combo, get one. 👍🏻👍🏻 I love all my Fender guitars and amps but there’s something sweet and special when you plug a Gibson with HBs into a Marshall circuit. Teles with HBs are not quite the same (but also awesome in their own way.)

[@jameshughes6049]

They usually do come with a strap and some other stuff.

[@landonbailey]

I got a Les Paul special that came with way more case candy

[@Bliggick]

Now you're playing authentic (Agnesi reference). That guitar looks and sounds great. The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge is the one on this guitar. The original Tune-O-Matic version is called an ABR-1 which looks similar but is not as thick from front to back, has a wire across the intonation adjustment screws and is mounted on thin posts screwed directly into the body. I've had a black Standard for ten years and it's been great. Neck dive has never been a problem with a leather strap. The only design issue I've noticed is if you don't plug in an angled cord and use a straight end it gets in the way of the neck tone knob. The 5th and 7th fret inlays on mine are starting to lift out but it is not hard to fix.

[@landonbailey]

I have to use an angled cable. A straight in cable would drive me nuts. cheers!

[@Bliggick]

@@landonbailey I wish they made a cable with an angled tip on each end. I am forced to use the angled end going in to my wah-wah because idiots would walk up to me when I would be playing a gig and step on the straight end going into the wah-wah and it would drive me crazy.

[@landonbailey]

yes I would totally buy that!

[@Riversider11]

I bought a few Planet Waves American Stage cables that are angled on both ends. Don't think they're too difficult to get.

[@Bliggick]

@@Riversider11 Thanks for the info. I didn't know about those and my local store only had cables with only one end angled.

[@raytorvalds3699]

Sounds and looks amazing ! Congrats !

Badfinger rocks! Also loved them when they were the Iveys.

[@enricofugazzi5206]

The gigbag you got it's nicer than the one I got with 2 of my Gibsons, but I think at least with 1 of them I got more accessories and gadgets including a multi-tool for repair and maintenance. With the "The Paul" I got an hard case.

[@landonbailey]

it will get offended if you call it that. it's a soft shell case 😝🎸👍

[@enricofugazzi5206]

@@landonbailey my apologies

[@thseed7]

The Nashville Style bridges replaced the classic ABR-1s. They're a little wider and saddle adjustment screws face the tailpiece instead of the pickups. 🤘🎸

[@thejeffersonlee]

First electric guitar was a Samick with HH, swamp ash top/body, bound, with stop bar tailpiece. I didn't care. I just wanted to go from cleans to DOD FX-69 Grunge distortion with a stomp. (It was my only pedal, because it was the only pedal I will ever need.) The first time I saw a guitar that made me drool was the late 90s Gibson DC Pro in that blue finish. The next guitar shape I fell in love with was the Explorer. Not because someone I liked played it, or because I was into Coheed for a while (still am). It just looked like a middle finger to the conventional guitar shapes. Even the Flying V with its defining symmetry. Kinda has been since 1958. Still, I prefer Telecasters to anything else. Something about the no-frills design makes me think of the US military trainings manuals (I've never served). This is all you get; it's more than we had to give you; it's hard to mess this up; and you can make it do just about anything. Still, just like I think Ford vehicles are more aesthetically pleasing but would still rather drive a GM vehicle, I think Gibson models are better looking but would almost always want to play a Fender first.

[@Randorita]

Badfinger! “If you want it, here it is, come and get….” Nitro is so soft you can scratch it with a fingernail and you have to be careful with what you use when cleaning it. I have never had a Gibson or Epiphone, but a friend has an acoustic from the 60s that I played a few times that is really nice. I am a Martin and Fender owner and just never found one that spoke to me.

[@kurdtjohn]

I commonly associate the Gibson SG with Tom Linton of Jimmy Eat World and Fred Mascherino (formerly of Taking Back Sunday) of The Color Fred.

[@landonbailey]

cool!
