My Guitar Addiction - Why I Keep Buying Gibsons & Ltd Edition Gibson SG Standard Review
Рет қаралды 33,437
Күн бұрынFollowing recent revelations about our love-hate relationship with the Gibson 'lifestyle brand', and a fairly solemn promise that we were well and truly 'over them', yet another SG arrived at our door this week. And it's Pink. I think we need help so let's talk this thing through! 🤨🎸

The historically rich company that we all grew up with is no longer. The quality control is not there. The consistency is not there. We are lemmings chasing the past if we continue. Murphy Labs is struggling with faulty finishes and blaming it on the consumers lack of climate care. It’s ludicrous. I’m just so disappointed. Let it go. There are wonderful options.

The output readings are very sensitive to temperature, if you hold the pickup for a minute or two you can watch the reading rise. You are 100% correct about the pickups Colin 42 American wire gauge polyurethane coated wire. Its very consistent so the readings should be exactly what Gibson claim.

I bought an Epi SG muse in smoked almond yesterday. Should be here this week. Only $380 US. Love to see you review one of these. Every review I have seen has been favorable to varying degrees. GAS causes money loss, but increases joy. Cheers!

When I read the info about it I realized it has a several things you'd find on a custom sg. Custom color, Abr1 bridge, hand wired, new pickup type, the nut and pick guard all custom shop stuff. It was 1,500 us at the time. A Great deal for a "custom" SG. Great video, love the CME and the review. Cheers

I feel your pain about the bridge pickup pocket. I'd be inclined to try color matching and touch up in any visible areas, but of course one could potentially make it worse if not very careful.

Super cool SG! I want one, but don't need one. The last new Gibson SG I bought in 2019 had severe file chatter on the neck binding and fingerboard.

I could be wrong, and they could be slight variations on each other. But my 335 built in the last couple of years says it has the “calibrated T-type” pickups in it.

There aren't many SG's that appeal to me. The Modern is something that I had to check out. It's kind of a highbred between an SG and a LesPaul standard. 24 fret ebony board and a maple cap. The switching options make it very versatile. The neck profile Epiphone uses on there's is outstanding. Locking tuners are another nice spec on them.

Regarding the resistance measured on the pickups. Remember, they are wired in parallel with the pots. 1/Rpickup + 1/Rpot = 1/Rjack where Rjack is the resistance measured at the jack socket. Back-calculating based on a Rjack of 7KΩ we get the actual pickup resistance as 7.1KΩ so you're a fraction closer to what you expected.

I guess its a GAS Friday for me too, so don't get angry with me saying I thought you were as happy as me playing a new strat ;) Yeah, I think I am more of a strat person than anything else, in the end. As for Gibson, they do give me this sense I am a valued member of the "Cabo Wabo" club, with all the goodies they attach to the guitar.

Hi there, love your videos, Saturday morning, fresh coffee, watch new Guitarista vid - perfecto! I saw the “chip” and wanted to add, not to worry, as you always say, guitars should be played and enjoyed. They’ll get bumps and scars - all of mine have them! However, if you wanted to fix it, nitrocellulose although toxic, is very easy to work with and very forgiving. It’s quite simple to get either clear or shell pink and do a small drop fill - there are a few helpful tips from Stew Mac - long story short, add tiny amounts to build up to desired depth and in every application the new nitro melts into the old - it dries real fast bit. Needs a few weeks to gas off to a suitable hard finish. Then buff to match the surrounding sheen - nitro clear available in matt, satin, and gloss finishes - hope this helps and look forward to your next upload - all the best!

CME is my local and I have to say, if anyone is even remotely interested in this, try getting your hands on one of them. Whether it’s the shell pink, Sonic blue, olive green, or mustard yellow, the guitars are absolutely stunning, but also just play like a dream.

I adore what SGs look and sound like. Yet, I’ve never bonded with a single one. Infuriating. Glad you are feeding the addiction with another one!

Same here. I’ve loved SG’s for over 40 years because Angus Young looked invincible and immortal playing it. But I’ve had 3 of them and I just don’t bond with them. And it upsets me.

Alice Coopers original band is what drove me to SG’s. I’ve been playing them for some 50 years now. Had a ‘61 SG Special as my main guitar for 40 years. Played it until it died. Can’t bond with Strats or Teles. Great video

Its an addiction Colin... i didnt buy one of the epipiphone 61 lespaul SGs because i thought they were overpriced. Even after your review last year.. Then i see one last week reduced by 400 Canadian dollars. Had to have it.. and I love it. Next one on the way is one of the epiphone inspired by gibson Korina explorers... expensive for an epiphone but.. you only live once..cheers from Canada..keep doing what your doing.. love your reviews.

I like that case/bag for that one and also for the tribute. I wish Epiphone would make those and include them with their guitars.

I would call it Pepto Bismol pink, ha ha. The guitar sounds great. It's interesting that when you mentioned about taking more care around the guitar ,and you removed the neck pickup that was really tight, it chipped the paint. You can't win. Nice playing and another great episode. (They're all great)

Hi Colin! G.A.S. all the way! I can't blame you for getting this guitar though. For the price, that's an excellent buy. This reminds me. A while back I told you about how I knocked my SG off of a gtr stand and cracked the headstock. Well, it's been fixed, and the luthier did a fantastic job. I was just playing it before I saw this video, so today we're both playing an SG. Happy SG playing! Cheers Colin! ✌

Another week, another great edition of your show. I don't know a single guitar player who isn't afflicted with GAS and its many manifestations. Have you ever heard "It's a great guitar, but I'm gonna change out the pick-ups and the electronics"? Me, too. Amplifiers are a parallel phenomena. We're never satisfied with any of this stuff, but surely that's part of the fun.

Nice sounding SG Standard! The colour certainly grabs you, it’s nice to have something a little bit different. Although I own lots of different guitars the Gibson SGs and the Telecasters are the ones I usually end up playing. I’ve always wanted a Paisley Telecaster, I know that it wouldn’t sound significantly different to any of the other Teles I already have but like you I can be a bit impulsive when it comes to GAS so I’m sure that eventually I’ll get one. The internet is terrible if you’re a compulsive guitar collector, without it I’d probably only have around 10 guitars instead of over 80. Looking forward to next weeks video.

Guitaristas I’m a guitar tech in New York and have really enjoyed your reviews infused with your fun personality for some time now. Thank you. I tell my customers about your not at all typically thorough inspections. I do have a possible suggestion or two if you wouldn’t mind. I also perform these inspections for all my customers bringing me a new guitar for set up. The two critical checks I do, especially for the G brand and Im not excluding the ridiculously overpriced Custom Shop models, is verifying proper nut slot depth from string to string and fret level. A conservative 50% of these guitars require some degree of fret level, crown and polish, particularly for those expecting very low action. These common build quality issues are not exclusive to G brand but certainly more common with them. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work, healthy addiction and sense of humor. Cheers, Gary

Cheers Gary, thanks for the support and kind words! 😎🙏 I imagine in the guitar tech business you're quite grateful for the shoddy work that sometimes leaves that particular factory! 🤣 thanks for suggestion but would I maybe look a bit too slick if I start to actually measure things? 😂👍
