- This past weekend I wandered into Maple Street Guitars and stumbled across my first real vintage guitar, a 1965 Gibson SG Jr. This guitar is a ringer and has a great story.

Can't go wrong with that👍🏻
I think we need to get you all together
I love you man
👍👍👍
Mr Vintage himself 😂
Fuck yeah
This is only the beginning. As someone who purchased their first vintage guitar a few years back ('60 ES-330) I have since purchased 4 other vintage guitars and spent more money than I ever thought I would on an instrument... Once you open that door it raises the bar and makes it difficult to not want more.
Raising the bar is the problem. I get an acceptable price range in my head even though it’s absurd
And that is why I buy reasonably priced ones . My 68 strat is in someone's house but not mine ... damn
A few weeks ago, I got my hands on an 80s Kramer Focus, definitely needs work though lmao
I started collecting action figures last year. First it was just a few hundred bucks, but quickky got up to many thousands. I had fun buying them, but kind wish I had bought a couple great guitars instead. At least I finally got new pickups for my Les Paul that had a half-dead treble pickup. (498T, now Pearly Gates.)
@@watersnortmoment3734 if its an early mid 80s, DAMM GOOD GUITARS!! i hv an 83 2000 model. these are some of the first flyods that shipped.
Great video, Rhett! I had a lot of fun documenting this fantastic SG Jr. with you. I feel both fortunate and honored to have been part of this guitar's history; and, I'm grateful that it will rock on in the hands of a great player, who will respect it and love it as much as I did. May it serve you well! - Lindsay *Reposted since we did this previously from the wrong TH-cam account :(
Had the privilege of meeting Rhett that day at Maple Street but had to leave before the concert broke out! Absolutely amazing tone on that SG. Folks, if you haven’t had the opportunity to visit Maple Street you’re missing out on great people and great guitars. Looking forward to the second part, Rhett.
Hey guitar community.I hope you are having a great day and don’t forget:Keep Practicing 😜❤️
Please don’t remind me 💀
I learned one thing you don't get better just noodling.
I have my late Grandpa’s 1960 Gretsch 6124 Anniversary guitar, and his Fender 1968 Super Reverb. Those are my passed down vintage instruments. They have a certain mojo.
Nice combo, cherish it!
I have my father in laws 68 super reverb
Nice!
That's a killer axe, Rhett! I'm not a "vintage or bust!" person, but great tone is great tone...and that thing knocks it out of the park!
I always felt Pete Townshend’s SG on “Live at Leeds” is one of the greatest guitar tones ever recorded. Not sure if anyone agrees but it goes from raging animal to the cleanest most beautiful chime. Old mahogany and p-90’s. (And a wall of High Watts)😊
Pete's tone in the Woodstock movie does it for me. It's so cool, the moment the band gets announced and you hear the hum of those Hiwatts. The Woodstock version of "Sparks" that can be seen in "The Kids Are Alright" is also killer.
Yes 🙌: Pete,s sound at that time with this same SG Junior with the Hiwatts I believe is a truly great sounding rig 🌞⭐️🙌❤️
I agree with you all. Young Man Blues sounding for me is Killer!!! 👍👍👍😉😅
It also sounds perfect with a good Fender tweed amp like a tweed deluxe.
It's one of the great guitar records ever made. All the tones. And his tone from that show tops any live show The Who recorded. Yes, any of them.
Maple Street just has an amazing vibe as a store, and Hopper's adorable. I probably spent more time playing with the pupper than anything else since as a bass player I was primarily there to support the GAS of my two guitar playing buddies.
Well done, Rhett. Not a lot of over-produced drama. Just solid interesting content. Like all your vids! Looking forward to the sequel.
So glad to see you at maple street. My favorite guitar store of all time and the guys there are the chillest ever!!!
Congratulations Rhett. It sounds awesome! Can’t wait to see part 2!
Congratulations for your new purchase... that guitar sounds wonderful; it's a great example of what vintage sound is.
Regards,
Congratulations Rhett! You'll love this guitar for many years and won't want to part with it. I have a 50 year-old vintage LP that I bought brand new. It's like an old friend. After all these years it has so much sentimental value that I could never let it go. Enjoy your new baby!
2:13 I am just AMAZED at how the dog just turns into a guitar.
That is awesome! Congratulations Rhett! What a beautiful looking and sounding vintage guitar. I'm so happy for you. I very much look forward to hearing and seeing more of it on your channel!
Dude that SG is the shit...I'm drooling right now...tone is monstrous..I own a 2020 standard and it's unbelievable
I also have a 2020 SG standard and do love it. A few minor issues in build quality, not super deal breaking but for 2k you'd expect more. The pickups are a pretty hot and I might swap them out for some lower output ones, but it plays so well and does feel great. Two of the dots are a bit smudgy, the lining up of the fingerboard and the neck separates a tiny but noticeable amount from fret 3-1. Very rarely is you thumb wrapped around back there but it's still a noticeable finishing flaw. The picture that came with also showed a dirty workstation and wasn't the greatest photo. Gibson are clearly cranking these things out, and while I do love my SG I know they can do better. I will say I went in and picked the one that stood out to me on the wall and when I plugged it in I did love it. So even though it has some flaws, it's still an inspiring and great instrument.
@@theleads6627 kidding around obviously bud. And I'm 47...full grown man here thanks👍...me grow up as u use alphabet soup like a 13 year old on TikTok..🤪? Yeah ok gfy...u familiar w that one? 😆
@@drdre4397 yeah there were a couple real minor issues that had more to do w setup than fit and finish..and the picture for both my SG and LP studio showed the same dirty workstation..but this is a full scale build factory so I can understand that to a point...but when u are photographing someone's bn 2000 dollar guitar a nice picture in a designated place in the factory that makes the guitar really shine for the customer I think is a nice touch..pic quality really terrible too..blurry and shitty lighting...cmon GIBSON
Congrats on the SG! Looking very forward to hearing more of it.
Congratulations! Good acquisition and well deserved. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Maple street guitars has such nice people as well, one of my favorite local shops
That sweet little junior is just oozing tone. Good pick-up Rhett, enjoyed seeing this.
Congrats on the SG Rhett! I am also fortunate to have a vintage, pre-war Martin (1941 D-18) so I can't wait for the next video!
War started in 1939
There is just something special about vintage guitar. Like your friend said, you can see the passion in what the other person had when wielding this instrument. Sick ass guitar Rhett! Congrats !
That sounded gorgeous!... I'll be waiting patiently for part 2 of this story. Sounds like it'll be worth waiting for.
Aside from being about a million times better player than I am (and I might be exaggerating my skills) I'm always in awe of the tone and sound quality in these videos. That guitar and amp sound amazing together!
I love the folks at Maple Street. I’ve bought a bunch of classical and acoustic guitars there over the years, and George was great helping me every time. I remember Lindsay when he was a teenager hanging around the shop. And I had a grand time taking lessons there with Sam McPherson. Great memories. :-)
That thing is so gorgeous!!!!! Looking forward to seeing and hearing it on the channel! Congrats!
Congratulations,Rhett Shull. It’s great to see such a beauty be passed down to a man with your talents. Simply awesome
Congrats Rhett!!! KILLER SG!!!
when I was 16 I saved all my money from working in a warehouse, watched the old / buy sell weekly for guitars and one day I saw a 74' SG Custom. I convinced my dad to drive about an hour out of the city to meet the seller where I bought my first real guitar. That was 20 years ago and I still pick it up everyday. Its not completely original and has its battle scars from its past life before coming into my possession, I have plans to eventually mod it to make pick up selection a little more dynamic. My first love I will never part ways with it.
Amazing story! SG Customs are amazing. What color is it? Vintage white like Glen Buxton’s?
@@DevinRyanVitek Bro. It looks like we have the same taste in guitars and music. I see you on just about everything I watch on TH-cam. 😂🤙👊
And yeah I’m wondering about the color also.🤘🏻
@@markrosenquist8259 Haha! Yes, totally! Nothing wrong with loving great guitars and music \m/
@@DevinRyanVitek definitely not brother
@@DevinRyanVitek Its got the Natural Mahogany finish. Sadly the fret board was replaced so it lacks the Block inlays and Binding its just a plain dot inlay board and the Harmonica bridge was replaced with a TOM, all prior to my purchase. Still a bad ass guitar.
My favorite store Glad you did a video with Maple Street. George is a class act and his son Lindsay is great. Jake is a awesome guitar tech Best store in Atlanta
Really pleased for you. A great guitar like that deserves to be with someone who’ll play it and treasure it.
5:47 that first chord alone. loving the tone. very cool axe indeed!
I'm not a massive fan of SGs or P90s, but dear lord that sounded incredible!
With the right gear and amp pairing, you’ve got the sabbath tone. Pretty good if you ask me
Just love p90’s, raw and edgy, if a bit noisy sometimes 🙂
😁 I'm the opposite or the op, I'm a p90 SG guy and watching this I'm thinking 'man, he's gonna love that'
Praise the Lord, the Fuzz evangelist has converted another man into seeing the light!
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
All you need is a LP Jr with a P90 and you can cover all the ground that you need to cover!
Nice guitar. I'm very happy for you Rhett. I look forward to hearing more of you playing it on your channel...
Congratulations Rhett! So happy for you. Enjoy.
Stunning guitar - looks and tones - great score!!
If I ever have the budget for a vintage instrument, an SG Junior would be the one... so simple, straightforward, and versatile
Congrats Rhett. That SG Junior sounds exceptional. I have a '59 Junior. They all sound so good...you just can't go wrong with them. Perfect choice for your first vintage guitar.
Love Maple Street, I get most of my guitars from here! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great sounding guitar! Maple Street is a great shop. Lindsay, Mom and Dad, and crew are all wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend. Love that little Hopper mugging for the cam. Hope Lindsay can find perfect replacement for his awesome Collings OM that was stolen. 😢
Absolutely love it. Rhett just got finished saying how much he hates how SGs are asymmetrical, then he finds a junior SG and buys it.
I’d do exactly the same thing.
That used to be me with Telecasters. When I was younger, I could never wrap my head around the body and headstock, but one day I bought one on sale and it all just clicked. I’ve picked up another one since then, and I’ve never looked back.
A love P90 SGs. I got one!
@@FatadayKorngor I've heard this exact story so many times. Happened to me haha
@@FatadayKorngor I was the exact same way, but 2 years ago, I converted to Teles. Now I can't believe why I didn't pick one up sooner.
Hey great to see Maple Street Guitars get some love, it's a great store with really nice and helpful people!
Man I really like your channel! Im glad there are cool nerds like you that can articulate there passion. I’ve learned so much about guitars and pickups from your deep dives! Keep it going!!
Rumble !! Sweet guitar, Rhett, Congrats !!
Definitely no need for a plan B for this video! That's probably the cleanest SG Junior I've ever seen so far. I may never own vintage anything besides a 1930s May Bell parlor acoustic I've had for a while and I'm good with that... but that P90!
Definitely a combo of a P90 Les Paul Junior, and an SG that resonates.
Side note, he tested both guitars at Righteous in a previous video, so this is the result
@@TotalEvo7 .. I’m gonna look for that one.. thanks
Rhett, when you started to play slide guitar on it, I thought I was standing at the CROSSROADS, waiting to make a deal. 🤣✨💎💎💎
I love this series.🤘🏼
Rhett your doing your own thing in your own time. Your making great videos, plus your appreciated and enjoyed around the world. Congratulations brother.👍🏻
Looking forward to seeing them.
SOUNDS AMAZING RHETT! THE HARMONICS ARE RIDICULOUS! CONGRATS! YOUR GONNA KILL WITH THAT THING!
Rhett make sure to check out the music city bridge. Co-designed with Tom bukovac. Will intonate beautifully and will only improve the playability. Retrofits without additional holes. Pops right on. I’ve got one on my 63 Les Paul Jr. Bridge was the best investment I’ve made gear wise in years
Why hello 👋 Mr Norris. And Tom is the sh1t.
Not a big fan of the SG shape, but I really liked the tone. Congratulations!
Why do you really like this one then?
@@GaryAppledale You probably misread, he said "the tone".
Greeting from Tokyo. Rhett I’m happy for you. Congratulations for getting the beautiful “tool.” The guitar is both sonically and cosmetically breathtaking.
Great shop and great people working there! Guitar sounds amazing! Congratulations!
Breaks a $5000 acoustic, buys a vintage SG junior! You're on fire my man! Love it!
I appreciate the draw and like most collectors, it's a passion but I'm so f'n glad I don't get sucked into this rabbit hole! "Tools" yes...for pro, "working musicians" is where they belong. Through my day gig I've seen at least 3 Drs collections, with the dentist in the group having at least 4 Dragons, a relic'd SRV and JH strat as well as numerous vintage Fenders and Gibsons. I heard him play at the music store where my brother-outlaw worked at the time and the guy could hardly play a lick. Ya, he really needed these. I'll just keep on keepin on with finding decent cheaper instruments and hopping them up - thank god for CNC! I loved the part where the pup was pulled on this guitar and the poor workmanship was exposed. You should see the absolute horrible craftmanship with my 74' BC Rich Eagle. It's a joke. Like some stoner with a router went at it and one of the spots the electronics cover is screwed barely has a c'hair of meat left between the slab and the cavity. Ya, no thx..
Wow! I bought a fantastic Ash-bodied 2015 Shawbucker Strat from Lindsay online! He told me over the phone it was a case queen - when I received it, he wasn't lying. Beautiful guitar and extra 'goodies' - picks/stickers/super nice luggage tag/quality cleaning cloth, etc.! Had a GREAT experience with Maple Street Guitars.
Haven't seen Lindsay (or George) for a couple years, will have to get over there soon.
[Rhett, you should grab a Carr]
This is an awesome guitar! It really suits you, Rhett! Congratulations!
Much love to Maple Street, went there quite a few times when I lived in the Atlanta. Lindsey is the best!
Wow, 1965. Looks and sounds fantastic. Congratulations
Congrats, Rhett! That's some ace slide playing. Lovely tone!
Grats reht, it sounds like a comfy warm blanket feels on a blustery cold day. Normally I am not an sg fan but that one is obviously very special.
So awesome... I've always loved those red SGs. Looking forward to hearing you play it! Congrats!
What an incredible tone! Those dogear P-90’s are magic. No pedals required. Great overdriven sound when cranked and cleans up nice when the volume is dialed back. Rhett your slide playing is really good and you are correct in your assessment that this axe will be great for slide. Electric blues machine! So happy this SG went to someone who will appreciate it and play it. Happy for you man!
That sound is SOOO well rounded.. wow. I'm impressed as I was never really into SG's.
Congrats you deserve it! Enjoy and take good care of it.
SGs have the best sitting-down playing position of any guitar. Nice find, enjoy.
Bought my new tele from Maple Street. I live in CA, but it’s my favorite guitar store.
My ears are gushing. Wow! Congratulations to you, Rhett!
Congrats Rhett!! I just got my first vintage guitar last year.. I got a JR too, but mines a single cut 56... those P90 single pickup guitars are so awesome
Congrats on that sweet SG!!!! I'm sure it will be well loved.
It's an amazing find! And you sound great playing it... It's as if it's been waiting in its case all these years for your hands. Enjoy!
Congratulations Rhett !!! Sounded Killa!!!
Beautiful, what a find. Congratulations Rhett.
Love these type of videos. Hell of a first vintage guitar. Congrats!
Great find Rhett. I've got my Dad's 1970 gold to Les Paul Deluxe with mini humbuckers.
That is the entire package……just WOW. I’m an original 65 myself, and I approve ! Beautiful color too! Well done Sir!
I bought a National tricone resophonic in that store in 2009, it got it online during a visit to a friend in the States. Great deal. Great store.
Congrats, Rhett ! I remember seeing these guitars new at Long & McQuaid in 1965 along with Traynor YBA amps.
Been waiting for this one and it didn’t disappoint - great find man
Gretat video, Rhett, and what an awesome specimen, that SG...gotta love the simplicity of it...and that growl!!
Great buy, Rhett! God, I love that single P90 config with light crunch. Personal most favorite tone: single-note playing on the higher frets with tone pot set to 3..4 - so sweet and singing!
The tone of that SG literally brought a tear to my eye! Amazing. My dream guitar as well.
Wow! That tone with the slide! Dream tone and nice guitar!
Congratulations, Rhett. That is a great find.
Congratulations brother. Nice acquisition. I’ve been dreaming of a vintage piece I would someday own to hand down to my kids (after playing the hell out of it first 🤘) to be a heirloom. I love this aspect of music and I am truly happy for you. Thanks for the great videos. I’ve learned a lot.
Yay! Glad you got the SG JR! Thanks for the rad content and for the Helix!
You got yourself a good one. I only have a couple vintage guitars, and they are all special for me, each great for its own specific purposes. I can see you’re already stoked for getting that sweet old SG.
Congrats! Nice guitar. When I heard you play the slide, I said wow that sounds awesome! Like the guitar was made for a slide and a really cool bluesy sound.
Congratulations. Really nice tone. Happy for you. 👍
Awesome find! I hope that beauty will be a centerpiece of your new studio.
Very good choice Reth! This guitar looks and sounds great!!!
Wow great find!! That guitar sounds amazing! Congrats !
Lindsey is a class act and Maple Street are some of the best guys in Atlanta to deal with. Very cool story. I think I know what guitar is being featured next...
Love Maple Street! Bought my last guitar from them. Awesome shop.
Can't wait to see you refinish it a different color,and Install different pickup,and different tuners!!! So incredible for modding!!!
.metal flake aqua green
Rhett, great score, have fun with your new first vintage guitar!
Congrats Rhett I just happened to buy myself an SG this week too. Course mine is a lot younger than yours but they are cool guitars I love it enjoy yours buddy and keep putting out those great videos
SGs are definitely my favorite looking Gibson and P90s are simply the best pickups for me. Absolutely gorgeous and what a tone! You are a lucky man!!! Enjoy it cause you deserve it! Congrats 🎉
Makes me happy to know I've got a 62 SG Jr.
What a beauty. Congratulations Rhett. 🚀
