Gibson SG Standard ‘61 Faded 🎸Unboxing & Deep Dive Review 🎸 It Was 25% Off! 🤷‍♂️

[@tom.m]

​​@@BlueberryStinkFinger62 Yes, but with an asterisk. Quality can come from anywhere, but when big brands go overseas to save money the odds are higher they're not caring for the wood, tools, or especially the workers properly. You have to be a more discerning and educated shopper. With a US made guitar you can at least be relatively sure the wood wasn't stored under a leaky tarp during monsoon season, and the workers probably aren't on hunger strike.

[@fredzep01]

@@tom.m nah, you could just same the same about the States, the whole storage unit could have its roof ripped off and flooded, or even flattened by a tornado, and the workers pissed and strung out on heavy-duty pharmaceuticals.

[@tom.m]

@@fredzep01 lol no. Plenty of problems everywhere, but no one is setting themselves on fire at guitar factories in protest in the States. Pretending we don't have it better than people who are essentially slaves, even with all our problems, is disingenuous and disrespectful. Especially if you're doing so to avoid having to confront what your purchases support.

[@fredzep01]

@@tom.m I don't mean to be funny with you, but why do all Americans think people in other countries live like slaves ? I'm from England, and I work as a stevedore, so I come into contact with folk from around the globe, and some of these people are on $250 a month, and you'll be right to think, I'd never lower myself to work for such a low amount, but to those guys it's a lot of money, and it's enough to buy homes for themselves and homes for their extended family, and I don't mean some Shanti town tin tub, these people show pictures of beautiful homes with swimming pools and garages. So when It comes to guitar building, their work ethics are no different from anybody else, in fact you probably think other countries labour is cheap, so it must be poor work, but you're wrong, it seems cheap to you and me because we are used to seriously overinflated products, because we know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.

25% off for a Gibson SG. Is absolutely fantastic. The price it should be I think. The prices have gotten way out of control I think. Beautiful guitar. Sounds great. Another great video see you next week. Cheers

[@markpell8979]

A little after 16:00... the trademark Gib fret nibs were done nicely, but the obvious ridges in the sides of the neck binding and nut were neglected in finish sanding, THEN this guitar passed that phase of QC inspection and was ok'd for the move to the finishing department. (We saw this same kind of overlooked sanding detail on a new Les Paul's nut a couple weeks ago, just inches from the coveted Gibson logo.) There it presumably passed another visual inspection right before it was sprayed. It should've been returned to finish sanding at that point. 5mins of remedial sanding is all we're talking about on a $2,200 Gibson that takes days to build, and they don't have time for that? As I've said before, this shite would not fly in my woodshop. If this crudely-sanded fretboard binding came on an Epiphone, some Gibson afficianados might say "See what you get when you buy a cheap subsitute for the real thing?" Fair enough when true but I've never seen this on an Epiphone. If you went to a shop that had two identical Gibson SGs for the same price and one had ridges on the binding, which would you choose? But yes, it was 25% off and here's one of the reasons why. IMO that doesn't make it alright on an expensive brand-new instrument from a manufacturer that brags about quality and craftsmanship. Somebody please feel free to tell me where I'm expecting too much from Big G to believe their finish sanding should be near-perfect. Cheers from Dallas! (Edit: By the way, the trapezoidal position markers were done completely by CNC routers to shape the fretboard mortises and inlays. This avoids requiring a specialist craftsman to chisel out the 36 rounded corners in the mortise routs and fit the inlays by hand individually. This way they pop right in. Nothing wrong with this necessarily but this is a detail that saves time and money in production.)

[@marcolombardomusic]

I always love the slow paced peaceful vibes your videos bring to my afternoons or evenings. Thank you for the amazing work you do! One small thing: I would suggest you never try to pry open pots to fit different knobs on 'em. I broke a few trying that before I realized i could just use some well cut kitchen paper around the pot to increase its size and have it easy!

[@jonathanjrich]

Colin, no-one could ever doubt your honesty. In the first two minutes you’ve already said that it’s a fake unboxing from the wrong box! Love it. Great video again, as always 🎸

[@basilandrigsby]

Big fan of the nice n' easy style of your delivery. A nice antidote to all the noise online. Thank you

[@MrGal160]

Sweet guitar, another superb review. I've never owned an SG, but you are well on the way to persuading me to get one. Thanks Colin.

[@explorervango880]

I bought the same guitar with full gloss finish and pickup covers. Demo because the color didn’t take as dark-color more orange red with lots of light streaks. I think mine is pretty with it’s unique look. And at a deep discount because it didn’t match up with the expectations of others. The small modifications you did drastically changed the look of yours, and I like that one so much more. I bought a Faded 50s LP with a top that resembles an AFD. Very nice playing and feeling guitar I’ll be adding a Bigsby to when I change the strings.

[@jfiery]

I really love the 61 Burstbuckers in my Les Paul. It's evident in your playing how much you love SG's. Great episode as usual!

[@joey-zr8lt]

The pro buckers with epiphone are the same as the burst buckers the difference is the pro buckers are $170.00 a set the burst buckers are $290.00 both are highly acclaimed

[@jfiery]

@@joey-zr8lt you may be right in some cases. I have a set of probuckers from an Epi LP that i took out for Seth Lover's and they sound different but i suppose the difference could be to the guitars

[@ethanadjack5289]

Dang man, I just got the Epi 61 Les Paul SG and here you go and one up me! I'm glad you got a great deal and it sounds great. I really enjoy your playing and borrowing some of your phrasing. Keep up what you've been doing and you'll keep growing.

[@theguitaristas]

Nice one man the Epi is a fine guitar! 😎👍

[@azt3ca]

My favorite SG is the white custom Maestro with 3 PAFs. Just change the wiring for 3 volumes and a master tone and you’re in for a wide spectrum of tonal bliss.

[@ces69]

I’ve got the Epiphone version and it had that wiring when I got it, although I did add a Maestro unit to it! I also have a Burny 3 pickup Les Paul Black Beauty with Bigsby that doesn’t, so when I up grade the pots I’ll probably wire it that way too!

[@jonkerr2050]

I have an SG Tribute. Putting witch hats on it totally changed the look.

[@adeptgopnik]

Tip for Gibson neck dive: Use a wide strap. Not the narrow Levy's or other brand ones. Go for 3'' or wider and a leather type material that will grab onto your shirt better. Will fix Gibsons that neck dive more than you'd think.

[@master_of_reality77]

Your playing demos are really cool, they make me want to learn to play like you

[@jeffroq]

I love Friday KZbin. The special thing about buying a new Gibson is the smell when you open the case. You gassed me up for an SG Col. I got the 61'. Then a few weeks later the Iommi came back in stock, so I've gone from zero to 2 in no time. 🤘

[@mattw36]

I’m really impressed with this guitar. Finally got to play one and will definitely be purchasing as my first SG! And my first Gibson! I typically play an Eastman T486 (335 style) but I love how light and nimble SGs are. Thanks for a great hour as always

[@ArnasGasparonis]

Guitar Center in the USA had a sale on the Gibson Les Paul Classic. Just got a red one for $1699. There are definitely deals out there. Go to your local shops.

[@charlesharper7292]

It's probably too late, but I'm heading to the Gibson website! 🤩👋

[@tonyb9864]

Great video as usual! I recommend SG's to beginners especially if they want to play rock guitar. They're so much easier to play and it's easy to get a great sound out of them. In my opinion, the Epi's come CLOSE to the Gibson's as far as playability and sound so consider this if you don't want to spend a lot of money on one.

[@benallmark9671]

​@@BlueberryStinkFinger62that's completely not true Sir. It may be your opinion which you are entitled to but that doesn't make it true.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

@ajcydnisargetti9500 not necessarily I've played some Epiphones that were so-so/average. I agree they're great value for the money but...

[@kevindean1327]

​@@BlueberryStinkFinger62Yeah right. Funny the way we lie to ourselves when $ is the issue. No way is the average Epi better than the average Gibson. From a simple hardware comparison Gibson outclassed Epiphone.

[@Tonetwisters]

My brother owned a music store in the '70s in Tallahassee, Florida, and as soon as you came into the store, you had a 20% discount on Gibson and Fender and a bunch of other brands. We were glad to have the sale and the profit.

The epiphone Joe Bonamassa looks very nice as well. really tempted to order it.

[@j.jester7821]

my first guitar way back in 1976 was cheap pawnshop japanese sg knockoff. nothing like an sg really it had a layered plywood neck and japanese gold foil pickups. Tony Iommi was and is one of my favorite guitarists. Always wanted a real SG. That one you show is particularly nice.

Illness or not, the passion is real. And it shows. Many thanks for sharing this with us..

[@primeDecomposition]

Gorgeous example there, nice dark rosewood board, no neck dive, THAT is a keeper. I’ve had many guitars, but never an SG, I just don’t like the way they sit on my body playing in standing position, it feels like that 1st-position fretboard area is two miles away from my body. My arm’s all extended playing anything at the nut. Hate where the toggle switch and volume/tone controls are too, makes on the fly adjustment hard (annoying) for me.

Hi Colin, my mate Ian had a 61’ Les Paul with the same vibrola not the side winder version. He used it on the Milk n Cookies album in 74’, and he worked a Gracins Music on Long Island where he bought it in 1969 or 70 thats when we started the band and is how I remember it but it was the talk of the town among guitarists and the same when we moved to London working with Muff Winwood and Island records.

[@bulico06]

I love SG's more than I do Les Pauls. Neck dive is usually caused by heavy aftermarket tuners in my experience.

[@guitartech-uk]

Hello Colin, nice video, my original 63 SG Special has Witch Hats and they have grub screws (rusty) my Flying V is the same so I think new Witch Hats are probably all now push on, that's why they feel a bit loose.

[@davidsummers5310]

Hooray! Another SG! However I really don’t like the satin finishes, the USA Greeny Les Paul was afflicted with that too. Also not a fan of the no covers. Having said that, 5 minutes with a soldering iron and some elbow grease to shine it up a bit and that is a good deal. Nice knobs btw

[@johndonne1]

Absolutely beautiful guitar with your updates added. Nicely done!

[@nelos7519]

I love the honesty. Please dont exchange it with money through your KZbin journey. Many have done it, we dont need more

[@richr.9963]

Guitaristas is spot on with the neck dive piece. I own a 2017 ‘61 reissue with the Grover locking tuners (no tailpiece/vibrato on mine). 61s have a narrower/lighter body than a Standard SG and the 61s are prone to neck dive. Does the headstock fall to my feet soon as I stand, no, but it is generally out of balance due to the build and lightweight body. I do most of my playing in a chair/recliner and the 61 SG requires more neck support than other axes. I’d like to add a tailpiece for some added balance but overall I love the guitar for lots of reasons. If I played live, strap material (e.g., suede) or tailpiece can be enough to help protect against neck dive. Look no further than Derek Trucks who says he picks the lightest SG he can find.

[@andrewforrester4579]

Another excellent review Colin I'm getting gas now for an SG

[@fredzep01]

The Zappa Roxy my dream guitar as well, my go-to guitar my SG 2008 Standard Vintage Cherry, I changed the tuners for Kluson Locking Revolution Series tuners, and their sound. They are a straight swap, and there's no neck dive whatsoever.

[@Oggi7777]

I love SG’s never had one neck dive. I have a Tele that does though it is one of my favorites.

[@painsme2]

I bought the Sg standard 61 vintage cherry and having gone through many reviews and stuff I can say this is by far the best one I have come across.

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers that's appreciated! 😁👍

[@pharmerdavid1432]

7 months old video Dave.... ANYways, wanted to mention the BB pickups use AlNiCo 2, while the '61 pickups use AlNiCo 5, so even though the their readings were similar they are different, there are other differences too about how they're wound. I like both types, the '61s are more aggressive perhaps? As for neck dive, having a tremolo to balance the guitar (like yours has) is a good idea on SG models. Mine is slightly neck heavy and didn't come with a tremolo, so I bought a Bigsby to put on it to balance the guitar, which looks cool and wiggles!

[@Matt_Barkley]

The SG's are my favorite too. I do still want a goldtop someday, but I could play my SG for the rest of my life and have no complaints.

I think they (Epiphone) got a bit too big for their boots... we really liked them because of what they offered at that low price point but when you get to north of £800 / $1000 there's a lot of competition... including heavily discounted Gibsons! 😂👍

[@kolchaknightstalker8290]

Good timing, Colin! Today my brand new Gibson Les Paul Special in TV Yellow came! I got it from Musicians Friend out the door including Kalifornistan state tax out the door $1,659 usually $1,799 + tax. The thing is MAGICAL!!! The Gibson smell, the fat 50’s neck, and the wood grain bleeding through that sublime nitro. Unbeatable. The minute you open it, you realize why the Gibson is three times or four times the Epiphone but soooo worth it! There is an anticipation and excitement about a Gibson you can’t get from an Epiphone. For me, a guitar is more than sound, it’s feel and style, smell, and legacy. The Epiphones can be excellent quality, but they have those flatter thin necks that guys like me just hurt from playing. The TV Yellow Gibson vs the Mustard Epiphone are worlds apart just like my heritage cherry Gibson SG is a parsec away from the striped red Epiphone wood. Both companies have their strengths. I’m sure I’ll get another Epiphone someday, but I’m in a Gibson state of mind, I can’t deny…

Love the SG, not long ago bought the Epiphone 61 Vibrola, just awesome, not a Gibson but it has the vibe and look, just couldnt stretch to the Gibson version....yet :) Great guitar and playing Colin, incidentally I am sure I read on a Gibson site that if you always ensure at least 5 turns of string on the posts it helps the break out angle of the string and aids tuning stability. This really works as kept getting a dull G on my LP sorted the turns and never an issue again. I now ensure I do it on all my guitars and ones i set up for others.

Like, I really don't like them - and it's not the supposed neck dive as I wouldn't know. In fact, I dislike them more than Strats. Still watched the whole video, though, as it's about a shared enthusiasm for guitars, and each to their own. Can't wait for next Friday at noon. Have a good week, fella.

I never understood the neck dive theory. I’ve had plenty of SG‘s and some dove and some didn’t, but when you’re playing it how often do you play a guitar without your hands on the neck.
