You (and the most of us for that matter) can't afford the guitars he's buying. And don't kid yourself in thinking that you'll find an expensive vintage guitar in a pawnshop for a couple of hundred bucks, them days is gone..
@@PleksiHeddamo I should have added that recently I helped a friend verify the year of his SG Special. The serial number is 39119, placing it in 1961. On Reverb's site (and others) they say, "The Gibson SG Special was introduced in 1961 as a "mid-level" guitar. This set-neck mahogany guitar was a step up from the SG Junior with a pair of P-90 pickups, three-way switching, individual volume and tone controls, and a bound neck with dot inlays."
Not for me im afraid hate SG,s to me it was always a poor mans Fender Strat ,now the Fender Nocaster Joe played sounded way better you could hear every note cleanly even under distortion , this SG does not do Joe,s great playing Justice
Had a 1965 Strat...sold it, bought a 65 Sg Special like Joe's. The Gibby craps all over the Strat. Clean to mean, jazzy to bluesy...it does it all. Strat's have those low powered pickups which are generic compared to P90s.
P90 and white and of course the nice pelham blue finish.
No AC/DC comparsions anymore. Thank god.
@Spiral Architect Here, from 1:40 min. Look closely! th-cam.com/video/-UcOhQOFmHs/w-d-xo.html ...and everyone can mistype, so shut up.
P-90 SG's are amazing. Very different vibe that I love. I have one and will never part with it.
Stay out of our pawnshops Joe! How many guitars do you need? Leave some for the rest of us!

@@simonvanderheijden432 I was joking. You told me nothing I don't already know. Thanks anyway.
That's a huge sound. I wonder what amp he was using with if.
Most likely a Fender Tweed
@@daro9582 Makes sense. Tweeds have just the right amount of sag to make a P90 growl
p 90's the best !!!
Wow, what tone!
Would have been cool if he started jamming the intro to “After Forever”. Tony Iommi really popularized the SG with Sabbath a lot.
But Tony Iommi played the standard. Like Joe said this is more of a Pete Townsend style.
@@MaximFoyerbach no iommi played a special with p90s like this its whats in all that old sabbath footage
Ernie Ball makes the best bass strings.
I know a guy who has this exact guitar but back in the 80s he had it routed for humbuckers and a Floyd. Makes me nauseous to think about...
I love the tone so bad
What song is the Zeppelin riff he plays in the intro?
Bring it on home
I don’t do sg standards...good enough for mick Taylor?
Im from fort wayne in i wander what shop he went to
Is that an actual song? I really want to hear it, sounds brilliant!
It's a weird version of Bring it on home by Led Zeppelin
+MrXignacioX García Thanks, been killing me for weeks
MrXignacioX sounds like "oh well" + "bring it on home"
Isnt 61 the first year?
yes
The first year of the SG, not of the SG Special...
Yes it is
They were still using the double cut LP style body in 61 for the special
Great video, but 1961 was the first year for the SG Special.
1962
@@PleksiHeddamo Sorry, but other sources say 1961.
