The SG Standard Tribute is Not My Favorite Guitar [Do You Agree?]

The SG Standard Tributes are a range of budget American-made Gibsons that also share a commonality with the Les Paul Tributes. In today's video I talk about the little brother (the SG Faded T 2017) and show why this guitar is not the favorite when it comes to modern American Gibsons.

As someone who traded a 75 Walnut SG on a Les Paul Deluxe, and regretted it ever since. Yes SG’s aren’t as boomy or screechy as Les Paul’s. They are blessed with a midrange power that never sounds weak. Usually they are nice and light, good for us boomers backs? They can sound just a little manky, which made me choose my SGJr, over my PRS every time. My next guitar is going to be a Walnut Tribute SG. I’m just so glad they are still out there!

It's my favorite guitar because I don't have very long fingers.

Mine is pretty nice and came with a killer gig bag. I think you just don’t like SG’s! I don’t think it sounds better or worse than the SG standard. I would say the SG standard seems warmer and has the same neck contour. This is discontinued now. I agree that they weren’t $1300 but mine was worth the $900 I spent when I bought mine in 2017. Also mine looks like it was made with a 1-piece or 2-piece body that is too highly figured to be used as an SG body. I think that Gibson would use would that has lots of rings, arcs, etc. In these guitars as the SG body woods are traditionally pretty clean looking.

Why did you trade for it if it didn’t speak to you right away?

[@IkeGuitar]

Because I flip guitars and I wasn’t in my goal price range at the time
