The Guitaristas SG Collection: Part Two - P90 Specials and My Holy Grail' Junior

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

I love the chilled, bimbling way you share your love of guitars. No hype, no sell, just a relaxing 1/2 hour checking out all the affordable guitars we’ve been thinking of nabbing. The ASMR to the guitar community. Long may you continue

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers I appreciate that! 😁🙏

[@shaalis]

I don't think it's so much showing off the SGs, so much as watching you glow with happiness! I think that's the best part. A happy man and his collection of wonderful things.

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers! 😁👍

[@crabbybastardguitars9955]

I am an American and I love your "accent" and manner of presentation. I have purchased guitars based on your suggestions such a new Epiphone SC Custom. I like it. It plays really well. Much better upper fret access than a lot of other guitars. My next purchase will be an Epiphone SG with P90's. I just cant see paying more for a Gibson that isn't a huge improvement over the new Epiphones. Thank you again.

[@E.V.hMcFadden]

Personally I think the British Accent is very annoying

[@Fisch269]

You can not have enough SG‘s. Took me a couple of years to get one, but these are absolutely fabulous guitars. The P-90 ones are absolute beasts.

[@pharmerdavid1432]

The wide-thin body of an SG resonates better than the single-cuts, which translates to the pickups, and the neck pickup is moved up a bit from the 24th fret nodal point so the neck-joint won't be too thin, and which improves the neck pickup's tone imo (some will disagree).

[@allancerf9038]

I CAN'T find a good one. And when I did in Portland at Trade Up Music - I went down the stree to a pie and coffee place on foot 15 minutes later it was gone. SOB.

[@rickycompton2610]

What a collection ,Colin I too have a love for Gibson Sgs, my lovely wife supprised me for my birthday and bought me the Toni Iommi monkey SG she had it overnight shipped so I could have it for Christmas seeing how my birthday is 2 days after Christmas, she keept it hid, what a wonderful present, man I love my wife

[@theguitaristas]

Nice one! 😁👍

[@tylerdurden5122]

She’s a keeper for sure!! The wife sounds ok too!!😂😂😂

@@tylerdurden5122 🤣👍

[@royswan]

Agree. An SG with P-90s is pure magic!

[@paulburton5150]

Yep. SG's all the way. I have never found a strat I've bonded with. I thought Les Paul's were the pinnacle, but then I got an SG...and fell in love. Just great guitars. What I really came here to say though was Thank you Colin for taking the time and trouble to gift us these videos. It is so great hearing your stories, seeing your guitars, listening to your playing and appreciating your thoughts and opinions on all things guitar. I love your laid back conversational delivery. It's like hanging out with an old friend and fellow guitar nut.

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Paul, thanks for the kind words it's appreciated and thanks for watching!! 😁🙏

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

Would you recommend a good Epiphone SG at the £500 mark? As long as the neck is not too fat the rest all good with me. Cheers.

[@_rafael_b]

Hi Colin! I absolutely love your SG collection! You've got some wonderful pieces. I share your preference for an SG over a Les Paul. I like LPs just fine, but when you find a really good SG it's just magic. These last two videos you posted have a special relevance for me because I just had a headstock on an SG that I love very much repaired. I've written about it several times here in the comments already and I've had it back for a few weeks now. However, it's only recently that I've had the chance to give it the really good setup. The kind where everything is exactly perfect the way I like it. Action, pu height, intonation, truss rod, etc. Now that it's exactly to my liking, playing this SG is just a transcendent experience. I remember writing in the comments here about this guitar when I broke it. You gave me an encouraging message about how the guitar will come back stronger than before. Well, it absolutely did! It even plays better than before. I had a guy do some work on the nut many years back and I think that he went a little too far filing the nut on the high side. Not bad, but the guitar's tone would thin out a little on the high E side. Again, not bad but noticeable when compared to other guitars. SGs often do this a little and I thought that it was just something inherent to the design of the guitar. With this repair I had a new nut put on and it has eliminated this problem entirely. The entire fretboard is now one big sweet spot. This was and still is the crown jewel in my guitar collection and to have it back even better than before makes me want to jump up and down with happiness. What a f***ing guitar! Also, the headstock repair was done so well that only a trained eye who knows exactly what they're looking for could guess that there has been work done in that area. I would still disclose the fact that it is repaired if I should ever sell it of course. However, I have no plans to part with this thing. It's special. Is it possible for a guitar review to be emotional? I suppose so. Because of timing and circumstance, this one was for me. I've had this guitar for 2 decades now and I thought I'd ruined it. Instead, it plays and sounds better than ever. I'm sorry if that was too long. I just wanted to share that with a fellow SG lover. Cheers Colin! ✌

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Rafael, really good to hear you got your own 'holy grail' SG back in action mate 😁👍 thanks for comment and support as always!!

[@Paulos161616]

I love the story of how you sold your motorbike and bought an SG with the money. I'd say that was the best choice you could make! It brought you joy for many years and now you're bringing us joy with these videos! 😁 Keep 'em coming and keep on rocking! 🤘

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Les! 😁👍

[@hankreus7196]

After watching your post, I bought an Epiphone SG Special in Pelham Blue just like yours. It’s among my top favorite instruments in my collection. None of the anxiety associated with bringing one of the Les Paul’s out of safety of being secure in the case. The SG is an expression machine, quite unique in its voice and inspirational abilities. Hard to say which is best above all, but the SG is absolutely a very strong contender for GOAT ✌️🫶

[@WilliamMcCurdie]

I have a 1965 SG Jr. that I bought new while in high school. I was 16 years old (I'm 74 now). Traded my Gibson ES-120T + $50.00 to pay for it. It came in that same ratty case you have. Got a proper hard shell case. I play it at least once a week with the "geezer" band I'm in. Drums, PA, amps in my basement. Mine had an odd whammy bar set up on it which was original and it's only purpose was to detune the guitar upon use. I removed it and replaced the compensated bridge with a Leo Quan Badass bridge. Installed Grover tuners in the early 7o's. I do have all the original bits. Single P90 through a V3 Big Muff into a silver face Twin Reverb.....it's what Heaven sounds like.

[@JonesTones1979]

These videos make my week man! from one GAS sufferer to another, I speak for us all when I say you're a legend Colin

[@norseman61]

SGs just aren’t something I’ve ever lusted after, although I have absolutely nothing against them. But that pink one? My GAWD I love that thing!

[@Stratboy999]

It's great to have a guitar obsession.

[@TheCourteener]

Bloody love Friday Colin time, genuinely relaxes me haha

[@jrchanning]

Loved the two SG collection episodes, amazing collection of SG's, always fancied one but never had one alas but there is always time !! 🎸😄

[@gunner4365]

I always enjoy listening to someone who is passionate about their subject. And this is a bonus for your audience since we all have similar passions. This reminded me of a Gibson EB-0 bass I had many, many moons ago. Found memories, there, I must say. I hope you had as much fun making the video as we had watching.

[@leighsayers2628]

Great ..love the passion and acceptance of each guitars character without all the mods .. Lovely to watch .. beautiful playing ..enjoyed watching ..

[@limpneckmike]

As an American, I got very confused when you said “stinks of f*gs.” It wasn’t until you said it obviously belonged to a heavy smoker that I was like “Oh yeah, that’s just what they call cigarettes over there”

[@et2petty]

I have the cheapest Epiphone version, and even though it's not the real thing, I love it.

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

If it plays good and sounds decent thats all you need. Its nice to have the £3500 ones but all in s good time by saving.

[@frankcarter6427]

@@QuantumGamingUploads I disagree, 3.5 K guitars are no better that sub 1K ones , either can be amazing or total dogs, but high end stuff is mainly for rich people to waste money on and show off with

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

@@frankcarter6427 you forget those sub £1k may turn out to be terrible as well so it really depends on the guitar itself when you pick it up and you feel and pleased from the sound that's for you. No £1k guitar can be perfect or worth it either so its an individual one depending on the guitar. I had one recent purchase a Vintage make V52 Relic guitar. That was £499. That guitar was not even worth £80 in my opinion while a Sire T3 that was £360 was 100× better than that. Everything was right about it. You buy £3500 as you saved for a special one to pad yourself in the back call it eye pleaser or just because you have to have it. Its more than just the price sometimes behind a guitar. I always wanted a Custom Tele based on the James Burton Pink Paisley. I can find a Japanese one of those for £1500 but it wouldn't be the same. Great and probably amazing ( even be better overall ) but on the back of your mind you just know that isn't the same. This guitar hobby is funny in many ways so no point in disagreeing there. £3.5k guitar ain't for rich people either. Rich people buy £20k guitars. £3.5K guitar is when you save up for a year or two for it.

[@donbishop6994]

Epiphone have stepped up their game lately. Some qc issues but nothing huge. Easily taken caree of. I have the Matt Heafy 7 string origins and it's as perfect as it could be. Had to polish the frets but that was about it.

[@henryhartley9993]

There's nothing wrong with the epiphone, that extra £1,000 you pay for a Gibson doesn't always guarantee you're getting a better guitar...

[@Torquemonster440]

Sweet Leaf !! 🤘

I now understand that if I do not wish to be in a band or go pro I have no need for any more :) Its a good feeling actually. No longer being part of the consumer side of the cycle is a freeing experience! Saying that you must understand I already have 8 SGs lol, they are also MY THING lol

[@thejuggernaut5327]

It’s great to hear you championing the Epiphones. The are some wonderful Epi’s out there that are very affordable. I have an Epi 335 Dot Pro that was excellent straight out of the box and about one seventh the price of the Gibson version.

[@leekthomas737]

i remember once apon a time I didn't like SGs. no idea what I was thinking. theyre an engineering masterpeice

[@BobPerrone]

Nothing like an SG with P-90's. I fell in love with them after trying out one after hearing Pete Townsend with one back in the 70's. Another great and fun video Colin - thank you! Cheers!

[@stealthbum34]

I think the sg is a fantastic instrument, I much prefer them to a Les Paul. Les Pauls are absolutely stunning guitars but for me picking one up is like holding a piece of antique furniture, if I owned one at a 2000e price tag I’d be too afraid to play it anywhere. An sg is a real workhorse and very versatile. I have a harley benton one with a split coil function and 24 frets. Literally all I’d ever need. I’m mainly a tele guy but that sg is my main home and backup guitar, a keeper for sure.

[@sunjamm222]

I have the Epiphone Custom Shop SG with gold fittings and black. Matches the bathroom fixtures. But I love it. Loud and plays so easily.

Talking of PMT, I was down in Southend last week visiting family and was sad to see it’s closed down. I usually pop in for a browse when I’m down. I remember the original shop on the London Rd, back when they were rivals to Honky Tonk.

[@voiceofexperience]

14:44 That Epi Special has a comparative mellowness to its P90s tone, almost like the magnets have weakened & "softened" somewhat with time (even though that's obviously not the case). Might have to think about getting one now 😉. 23:00 "Stooges Blues". Very cool.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I'm totally digging that Pinky Tuscadero SG Colin. Hell, I love em all but that pink SG looks great and sounds wonderful. I can't wait for you to acquire the Olive Green and Yellow versions!

Hey Colin! It took me a while to get to it, as I'm quite busy lately, but this part definitely is my favourite! I do love SGs, too! The gradual increase in volume and mojo to your holy grail is just soo good 🤘 And the pink one definitely sounds great for HB preferring guys, I only wish I liked pink on guitars more 🥲 Cheers!

[@user-yn4ec9sx2l]

One P90, a wraparound bridge, Gotoh butter bean tuners, single cut, that´s would be my Holy Grail. Thanx for the awsome videos, Colin !

[@relevantinformation6655]

I have quite a few guitars, but I’ve never owned and SG. However one with P90s, that’s tempting. I think the reason I never bought a Gibson SG is that a guitarist in an early band I was in always had trouble keeping it in tune. (that was in the 70s). We didn’t have those problems at the times with Les Pauls and Fenders. There are always guitars that call to you. Out of a couple dozen I have collected in 5 decades, I rotate between 3 guitars. One, is a simple les Paul with p90s. Nothing special, it just calls me. Love it. Love your channel too !

[@jermebs]

Cheers from the USA! Just subscribed to The Guitaristas today. Love the videos! I have a 2013 Gibson SG "50's Tribute" black with P90's soapbars and that thing is a monster! I can play everything from Pink Floyd to Motorhead and it sounds amazing! Hard to beat "Sweet Leaf" played on a SG.

Another Beautiful showcase of your SG's Colin. Always a pleasure. I will buy my first ever Epiphone SG or Vintage Make SG in the future as I heard they do a good job as well.

[@philipwade9560]

Loved the last two videos- I got my 2003 sg standard in Ebony around 10 years ago now- 300 quid ebay offer after nobody bought it- left handed with a headstock repair. At first - I was worried I'd bought a chibson it seemed so cheap. It also had one broken tuner (the replacement was a knock off kluxon thing that didnt hold tune. I never played it much till 2017- I decided that it would be the one I'd take to denmark with me when i moved there for my master's degree- seeing as how it came with a case and it already had a broken neck. I thought I'd made a dreadful mistake when i say the standard gibson case on the baggage carousel- but it was fine. I don't think I'd do it again though. my first week in denmark I took it into a shop because I wanted to try it with an amp I was interested in. the guy goes into the back and brings out a spare of the correct gibson deluxe tuner and installs it for me. wouldn't take any money for it either- so i bought a set of strings out of embarrasment. I had held off buying one because i could only find full sets. It was the catalyst that led me to actually binding with the guitar- and it was the only thing I had to play for two years during Covid, I feel like it's my deluxe guitar- bound neck- batwing guard (I don't like the original short guards, I think because I associate them more with the cheaper copies you got in the early 2000s- I think I prefer your late 60s jr for this reason) and that kinda soft nitro feel. It's in storage now while I'm working in Argentina- I'm gassing to be reunited with it. sorry for the essay, I'm experiencing nostalSGia.

SG Specials are really good guitars. Remember: There are also versions with a stop bar tailpiece instead of a wrap around bar. Epiphone offers them in a red or green satin finish. So they are quite different from the pelham blue one that you own. One should consider this when making a decision which one to buy. Thank you for this video!

[@garyp5522]

As of the last year the SG has become my favorite guitar. I notice you don't have a Tribute.

[@cageliner]

When I started buying guitars again in 2014 (I hadn't had a decent guitar since the mid '80s) I generally ignored SGs. In 2019 I became interested by the Specials. I passed on a pair in Pelham Blue but I had to take home one in Sparking Vintage Burgundy. I got $100 off but in 2019 prices hadn't been jacked yet. I have to say, it's a case queen. It's just... too pretty and I worry about denting or scratching it. I don't have that fear with any of the other guitars I bought new or NOS. Naturally, I love the sound of its P-90s and I have several other guitars with them. I look forward to seeing more of your collection. I have 16 electrics so far, as well as three basses and two acoustics. I buy used, discontinued and heavily discounted wherever possible. The only stories my guitars have is how I came to purchase them and what I did to a few LOL. Ciao fer now.

In 1967, I bought a new SG Special at a large music shop in Washington DC for $168. I loved that ax, and the brilliant p90s. It had a Maestro trem, which amazingly didn't throw the guitar out of tune, guess I got lucky because players complain about them a lot. I played it on tour with bands all along the circuit from DC to Florida. It replaced my 1st electric, a Teisco Del Rey I'd picked up in France in '65. Wish I'd held on to that one, but who could have predicted their historic trajectory from utter pariah to hipster retromaniac. Even more regrettably, I traded my '67 SG for a Minolta SR 101 camera in 1977. I'd quit playing in bands at that point, and was moving to Asia. Now that I'm playing in bands again, I often think about that guitar. I've bought and sold three SGs in a search for something close to the' 67, a search ending in disappointment. I can't afford the prices on a 60s SG, and can't stand the feel of any SG made after :68. I long ago decided that teles were more consistent production-wise.

Can't wait to see what your newest SG is that you purchased! Great vid! 👍

[@kkzooi]

All i can do is give you a nod in approval sir. My first guitar was a 2002 Epiphone vintage g400, which i still have 20 years later. And i also like my Gibson SG std 61 though i wish the neck was a little bigger like on my SG tribute. All have been modded to some extent. Custombuckers with A5 magnets are in the std 61 now. slightly less aggressive as the Burstbucker 61 that came standard and a bit more clarity and articulation. My tribute has got a Gibson P94T in the neck and a Lollar novel 90 in the bridge. Great combo! The neck is quite bright and articulate with the A5 magnet in the P94T and the bridge is clear and aggressive sounding with a bit of warmth, not glassy sounding. Probably because the Lollar has an A2 magnet. Love them

[@oonamorrioghanblackthorne]

I have a Tony Iommi Monkey SG reissue (not the high end one @19k) and had to change the p90s to some Bare Knuckles P90s. I also have a SG 61 reissue. Both great.

nice collection brother! i picked up a 2003 squier strat yesterday dirt cheap with intensions of replacing my "sunflower" sunburst 2013 model...which dont feel as good to me as the 03... ill install the scratchplate and all the bits from the 03 into the 13 and then sell the sunburst model...then ill do a hh configuration on the blue 03 that im keeping...and ill wire it up to try to capture the peter green tone...that "greenie maye" model les paul clone has the PG tone down to a T! might sound bonkers but as i was testing it i felt a "presence" with me...esp as i played it in the "out of phase" position...maybe i had a special visitor? if so i hope he approved lol!
