This guy is the best reviewer on TH-cam. He could have his own TV show. A true natural in front of the camera.
I hope you are sharing whatever it is you are smoking. It must be fantastic.
His voice is so soothing
@@JoeMarauder-xk6wj its the guy on the video on his alt account..
Thanks Captain Obvious!! 😆
Great rundown! I'd add that the '61 SG is also handwired and comes with a hardshell case while the regular SG Standard is PCB and comes with a soft case/gig bag. I have the '61, the regular Standard and the Special. If I could only keep one, I'd keep the '61.
Nice show and tell Justin; learned a lot while awaiting my own sg standard.
Already got two from you dudes (best music store ever), but damn that TV Yellow one is hawt. Rock on.
Thanks! Yes we agree, such a beautiful guitar!
Thanks Justin. I always love your videos!
Thanks Daniel!
Really cool video. Definitely the best of its kind on youtube.
Thanks Michael!!
Great video, I like the way you do it, you play songs everybody knows and not just play for nuts.
Thank you very much for the very informative video.
You're welcome!
Amazing video ! Great sound quality. I'm so glad i purchased an SG Junior since they are out of production now. I really love mine !
Thanks very much Robin! SG Juniors are really cool guitars, we hope to see them come back into the lineup.
Amazing video. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Every single one. Thank you
We can't argue with that!
Great video! Never was attracted to SG's, more 50s Les Paul guy, but recently tried Murphy Lab SG ...and my God it was amazing !
If you play rock n roll, you need an SG.
I like the special with P-90’s, but there was a ‘62 Les Paul (SG) in the family, that I played for my first show in high school.
I have a white/white ‘61 Les Paul reissue Epiphone “Custom Shop” SG that I absolutely love. I think it’s an ‘08?
I did swap-out the pups for ‘57 Classics and had a great tech set it up.
Love that Murphy Lab! I do own one, and it is the greatest SG I own. Awesome review! Love the comparison between the different models.🎸
Really great in depth review of a plethora of SGs! Nice work highlighting a lot of the specs between the models. The one thing that sticks out it was overlooked is the differences in neck heel construction between the tribute (not featured here) and current standard models and the special, 61, custom. I’m lucky enough to own two SGs and this construction makes a big difference and how these guitar feel up the neck. Again, nice review and I hope it helps you guys sell some guitars!
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. We didn't note the differences in neck heel construction of the Tribute because the Tribute is a discontinued model and we only focused on the current 2024 models. To discuss other obsolete models would have made the video prohibitively long.
I own the SG Special with P90 in the same color ( ebony ) and it sounds incredible, it also looks amazing. The best SG Gibson makes and also the cheapest. A Super SG.
Very nice!
Great video! I have many SG's.....Gibson, Epiphone, Kay, Xaviere, and Austin. I love all of my SG's.....I really like the Gibson SG Jr. I have a unique Epiphone Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul (SG) that is full GLOSS (not sure how that came about....it was only suppose to come in the vintage matte style finish) and someone added a maestro vibrola to it as well. It feels, sounds, and plays AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Wow, quite the collection!!
Hi! I'm Paolo from Italy! With your beautiful and precise reviews you have confirmed my love for Gibson! Another brand that I love is Paul Reed Smith... what making some videos about that? (forgive my english... io parlo italiano/je parle francais) thanks
Great review. I have owned probably 5 S.G. Recently purchased a brand new standard. I will say that Gibson quality control rumors proved true. Finish was flawless. Frets were PERFECT. Controls were loose. Intonation was out by a lot. 2 tuners weren't tightened properly. Once those (to me, minor issues" were corrected, it became my favorite. Even over my vintage S.G.s I owned. Personally, i have never purchased a new guitar i didnt need to set up anyways. Yes, its frustrating paying a U.S.A. made premium and having any issues at all,but... In my opinion is totally worth the minor inconvenience of a complete setup. Epi's have gotten really good! But their prices have increased dramatically. Getting a Epi with U.S. pickups and similar specs isnt THAT much cheaper. And Personally, i like the nitro Finish on the U.S. model's. In general, the U.S. models compared to Epiphone, is in fact better. Ive played many examples of both. Just understand, you may have minor quality control issues. Gibson just had access to the best wood on the planet. For a brand new guitar, my new standard resonates and rings like a bell. Its THAT good!
Great video, I love SG’s and I never realized the modern didn’t have the fret nibs ( Don’t own a modern ), I guess it’s an easier job if you’re ever going to do a refret on it as well. The Custom is just a work of art, gorgeous axe 🤙
Thanks for your review.
Right on!
Made up my mind and ordered a Gibson 61 Standard today
Fantastic, congrats!
Congrats! I bought one of the 61's in silver mist a few months ago. It's an amazing guitar and IMO so much better than the regular Standard with the big batwing guard.
I got my standard 61 last week, tobacco sunburst
The TV Yellow 61 sounded really good
61 SG looks and sounds BAAAAADDDDDD that would be my choice👍👍
my choice too.
I have one of the new 61's in silver mist... IMO, it slays the regular SG standard with the large batwing pickguard (which I also own). The 60's burstbuckers cut so much better than the 490's and it's all handwired (not PCB like the regular Standard). Love the neck profile (not too thin) and think the small pickguard looks classier than the big batwing. Also comes with a hardshell case, so it's basically the same price as the regular Standard if you wanted to buy a hardshell case for it.
5:40 My favorite of all... The SG Special. Just listen to Pete Townshend from 1968 through 1973 (when he played a white one for some of the the Quadrophenia shows). But, especially "Live at Leeds" and at Woodstock and you will hear the greatest guitar tone ever recorded. I have an SG special as well as a Les Paul Jr. double cut and of the many guitars I own, some of which are way too expensive, these are my all time favorites. Nothing, but nothing sounds as incredible or defines Classic Rock as one of these with the greatest pickups ever made. The Gibson P90 pickup. Fantastic video my friend !!! Just gave it a thumbs up and subscribed! 🎸
I started playing in 1980. Never had *any* interest in an SG until about a year ago. Thought they were ugly, primitive, and reminded me of the high school burnouts and their dirty Sabbath T-shirts. But, I bought the cherry ‘61 Reissue with Vibrola last month, largely because of a growing Gibson love…. Even though it has a 60s ‘slim’ neck and I have big hands and have been skewing toward really, really fat necks over the past five years… I absolutely love this guitar. It is now my favorite to play. A crazy turnaround. // Wish I could have afforded the Murphy Pelham Blue-that’s a stunner. And I wish the tv yellow were available with the Vibrola at the Standard price…. Oh, well-I’ll just have to leave my Cherry in the sun and hope it fades before I die…. About the Vibrola-I got it for the aesthetic. With the hope that it wouldn’t be a problem, with regard to tuning stability. I don’t use it much, and the guitar was set up with tuning in mind, and it has been fantastic. Even more stable than my Les Paul. My next guitar will probably be an SG with P-90s….
Amazing!
Just got the same one and I agree wish it came in more colours . 1 choice of colour only… lucky the cherry is kinda nice . Though I reckon I may have gone for the tv yellow too if offered. I might consider a respray in future for a more unique look. It’s an awesome guitar with stable tuning if setup and strung properly.
@@globalnova I got the SG lust from seeing one in TV Yellow in a Gibson Factory Tour video. It was just a husk-body and neck, but for whatever reason i just loved that 'yellow wood.' I was on the line with my salesman to buy the Standard in TV Yellow, but pulled back and re-evaluated. Kept looking at pix, and something about the SGs without the Vibrolas can sometimes look 'off.' Like, there's too much space under the bridge. I only feel that way with certain colors, though. I'm odd. I'm a designer, and i get *very* particular about strange particulars.... Somehow, having always 'hated' a red+black combination, i then pivoted toward it. That still baffles me.... I'm still trying to get used to my cherry, as it's *soooo* red, but i'm getting there. Still love this guitar. Which is also very *weird.* If you told me three years ago (or 40 years ago) that i would own an SG, and that it would become my favorite thing to play... i might have slapped you and run away.
@@globalnova You're right, the '61 Standard Faded in a matte finish translucent TV Yellow would be a STUNNER!
Love these videos but now I have more guitars I need to buy😁
Thank you! Funny how that works...
the Man did not go over the differences between P-90's 490's, '57's, '61's or Burstbucker Pro's....they are the most important differences between these guitars !
He may not have verbalized the differences, because it's strange to describe the nuanced differences between pickups in words. Instead, he played clean and dirty examples on all different pickups so that you can hear the actual differences between them, rather than relying on his dictated interpretation.
Thanks now i know which one I want. I was wondering what all the difference was. 😊
Amazing! We are glad to have helped clear things up for you!
My SG has 2 P-90's in it. Love P-90's.
I rented a low tier SG from L&M but the fretboard edges were so sharp they would cut my fingers. I checked out some higher tier at their shop and they had the same problem.
Thaught : oh, Mateus Asato.. new video.. nice 😂 turns out its Justin
Awesome videos!!! 🎉
I noticed the strap button on the horn of the Supreme. Is it also on the back behind the neck like others?
Good eye! No, there is no strap button on the back near the neck joint like the others, it's only on the horn.
Awesome video!
If you could do the Epiphone SG lineup as well, that’d be great!
Cheers!
Thanks! Noted, we'll add it to the list of video ideas!
Great video and tribute to the SG…and uh, speaking about Tribute, what about the Tribute?
Thanks very much! The SG Tribute has been discontinued, so for the sake of brevity (yet still resulting in a 45 minute video!), we only featured current models in the 2024 lineup.
i like sgs i would buy all
Why no SG Junior ? Thats my Fav one !!
The SG Junior is fantastic! Or, was? 😥 The SG Junior was discontinued in 2021 and we only focused on the current models available in 2024 for this video.
SG,s with P90s are a secret weapon
Give me the blueberry burst that guitar is Awesome
Just put an SG standard on layaway. Should be picking it up in a month or two. Will be my first Gibson after craving for the past few years. Never liked Gibson before hand, always been a Fender guy.
Which song is he playing at 15:26 ??
Black Sabbath - Snowblind
Vous devriez faire essayer les guitares blindfold en magasin😃🤘
SG!!!!
Correct!
SG 61 re_issue(not 61 standard) the best SG outside custom shop
I clicked because I thought Mateus Asato was the reviewer. Great review though!
We'll try to get him in for our next video. 🤣
When your budget is somewhat limited, the Special is a great ... sustitute (Ba-dum, TSSS!) for a Standard.
Sg special the simplest? What about sg junior bro???
The SG Junior is obsolete bro! We only looked at current models.
If u want the ultimate SG, get a vintage one from late 70's
My only suggestion for your sound demos would be to play some single note riffs or licks so we could hear what pieces of solos will sound like.
Pelham with a vibrola.
Totally disagree about the pick guard not making difference. The bridge pickup is angled better with the strings with pickup rings and they only come with the half pick guard.
That is a great point, and something I admit to overlooking in this video. Good catch!
my dream guitar was an SG, so i bought a 61 reissue, worse guitar i ever owned, tuning nightmare, tried everything, it just wouldn't stay in tune. i traded it for a strat and never looked back. i've seen the SG for sale about 4 times since.
Which ones smell like cherries???????
Les Pauls are uncomfortable boat anchors.
definetly epiphone SG reviews.
We'll definitely tackle the Epis in a future video!
NONE! Gibson's prices are batshit insane!
This vintage tuning is ridiculous. Things change by time naturaly. The character comes by the time you spend with the instrument, not from the factory that gives the illusion of character, but is a fake in the end. I would never buy it 😖
nobody cares
@@freezeframeplease I do 🤘
Don’t buy any of the newer ones -all junk- do yourself a favor buy a 73-to 77-78mat latest…that’s a real sg that’s still affordable
"A real S.G." lmao
😂😂😂 Yea you’re crazy AF
No way on any GIBSON i have three high end 2021 Epiphone modern figured Sgs ill stay with them and you can keep your GIBSON
non of them
Pick guards are more then visual. The batwing has more wood cut away under it. The teardrop has less wood removed. All other things being equal the tear drop will sit better on the strap and possibly resonate a bit different.
