Hi folks, my good friend lent me this guitar to check out on the channel after I sold it to him over a year ago. The SG probably has more variations then even the Les Paul and you'll need to do some homework to find the model for you, hopefully there's some info here that helps! I think if you want a very familiar Gibson sound AND you want it to be a real Gibson, These SGs offer great value there.
I think I said ABR-1 style bridge I meant to say Nashville for those of you that notice the subtle difference haha!

I bought one of these rigs this Christmas past and I can not believe how much I love this guitar.

I actually think it's one of the best value gibsons you can buy honestly. Its got all the right sounds, Got Gibson on the headstock if thats important to someone and these ones that are getting abit older can be got for a decent price. ideal. Just shame about my fussy fret preferences haha

I bought a used 2007 61 reissue a few years back. Been playing 45 years and for the first time I now have everything I've wanted in a guitar.

I have this one in white. Yes. I've been toying with having it painted like Clapton's "The Fool". That would be very cool. SG is a Les Paul with a slightly different character from the thick one. They're much lighter and much better for playing at the highest frets. SG is my guitar of choice for long sets/gigs and for touring. They don't drag you down when carrying them and you can take them on board with you when you fly. In a soft case they easily fit into a airliner's coat closet and/or overhead compartment. If you find a good one, my advice: do not hesitate, snatch it up.

@@Paul-D Well, I did that on many occasions. I suppose that there may be some overheads that are two small or already full of others' stuff, but the ones on the airplanes I flew on were fine. There is always the coat closet.

Ain't gonna believe this, dude . But I've gone on the t468 idea for now, and I've been looking at the 61 sg . Then look who's vid pops up. 😂 👍

no way haha. I still believe the SG is the best value offering from Gibson you can get. And especially the SG 61

I checked out this video because I have one of these as a well as a real 1961. The 2010 goes to gigs, the 1961 stays safely at home. I liked your take on the guitar but have never really minded the frets. Oddly my 1961 has jumbo frets, but they're in great shape so probably not original. And a nod to your playing, thought it was very good, just the right approach to demo and accurately hear both guitars, not a ton of disto or shredding. Then you say you've got only 5 years at it. Fine stuff, good on ya mate.

Thanks man I appreciate that. And having a real 61 and this sounds like a joy! Especially if the 61 has jumbos for my taste haha.

Yup the early/mid 90s gibsons have really come up in price too making it more expensive then this one to purchase atm.

@jasoncarpenter4542 10 ай бұрын

I've got a 2008 61 reissue. Great neck and overall an excellent guitar. FYI, the inlay on the headstock is HIGHER than on the standard. It's a tell tale way to distinguish between the two.

@Paul-D 10 ай бұрын

The secret will be out the bag before too long and that era will start getting more expensive haha I couldnt remember which way round it was in the heat of the moment haha - downside to never having a script i suppose 😅

A used 61 reissue is the only Gibson people should consider if not buying custom shop. By far the best bang for your Buck Gibson

@@Paul-D at least when i bought it in 2010 for 1365€ it was. I was looking for an sg and tried an standard too for a little less money but there was no argument. The standard sounded generic an the 61 had that bite and classic crunchy tone. No contest

@Paul-D 9 ай бұрын

Yeh the new prices are a different chat in all brands now. Theyve gone abit nutty. But you can still find a similar era used ‘61 for about £1100 and i think it would be reallly tough today to spend 1100 on a Gibson and beat this.
