I’ve been playing electric guitar for about 5 months now and I have no idea what coil tapping is
Because of the gimmicks the cost of manufacture goes up (presumably) but the quality goes down. (realistically) How are the dealers supposed to sell these? The music stores that carry Gibson have to pay their bills, have families to feed, and what person makes such lame brained decisions to sink a multi-million dollar franchise? But this also affects so many other peoples’ lives. It’s a crime! My prediction is the 2015 models will hang on the hooks a long, long time… and back up the warehouses. I hope Gibson has not decided to over-produce them. Please just build good guitars? How can that be so difficult?
nice fingernails bro
+Dawsons Music can u plzzz do a review of the ESP LTD M10. It would be a great help. thnx.
Great playing Lee as usual. Frank Zappa famously freaked us out on his SG in more styles and genres than we thought possible. I recently bought a spanking new SG standard, cherry, no E tune + case for half price at a retail Gibson sale, $1100, dirt cheap in Australia. I couldn’t be happier – action, set up, finish and tones all perfect and it just looks killer. Won’t be wearing the shorts though. First thing I played – Doors, it does cast a spell. Different to my other guitars but hey, they’re all different, variety IS life. If you can afford one or need to save up, pull the trigger and get the standard, it’s the real deal and you can leave it to your kids to fight over, cheers & goodwill from Oz.
Please, I really want to buy an SG without any these silly frills.. pls go back to basics
I like narrow necks thats just me tho
Is there any hum noise in the single coil positions? I´ don´t hear it in the video , but I think it have to be there
Little wonder they have to have the tronical automatic tuner on any SG. SG is the only guitar without any floating trem that is a both a bitch to tune, and KEEP its tuning. It always go out of tune, even with moderate playing. And a severe insult – as other’s said – to Les Paul as he clearly didn’t want to have anything to do with this model when it first came around, they altered the “Les Paul” desing without his consent and still called it a Les Paul. The SG have been – and will always be – the weakest of Gibsons builds, due to its inheritent design flaws and unstability of the neck. If they only made it one millimeter thicker all around, and solve the neck instability issues. I sure have tried out SG’s that stays in tune, and are more rigid builds, but they don’t have the Gibson logo at the head.
On a related topic. I want the guitar to stay in tune AFTER I tuned it up. That’s the important thing. I don’t want to have stop in the middle of playing to recalibrate or doing that automatic tuning again. I just want to stop in the middle of my playing. When you have solved that it should stay in tune WHILE I am playing regardless of my bendings and so on, I’ll be impressed.
hey brother play some ac/dc on that SG!! ITS A LONG WAY TO THE TOP!!
How did you learn? Did you have a teacher?
el auto afinador va con la guitarra?
Les Paul once said: ” Too little meat in the neck joint ” when He saw the SG at the factory.
I WANT TO CHANGE MY SG 2011 FOR THIS ONE ! GOOD REVIEW !
What is the differents between the epiphone sg and the gibson
Nicely played. Glad you choose not to do AC/DC or Sabbath stuff and such. Especially liked that ending tune! Sweet!
Oh, and the SG, almost forgot. I´m not happy with the coiltapping and that nut. They should have been optional. Don´t want to pay for what I´ll not use.
i think it would be cool if they put the metal tulip style roboheads on the headstock instead of the yellow plastic ones on the more expensive guitars like the standards. Personally, i think that would look better and not as cheap, or maybe give us an option to pick which one we want.
Love your reviews, you have passion and love what your doing,you are obviously a second to none player,flying under the radar? Thank you for sharing!
Nice, I prefer it in black with a bigger pick guard!
THANKYOU x
at 6:43 wow
Great demo, the SG tone is still there. That’s where the good ends, and the bad and the ugly begin. Why the pull pots, nobody prefers that on a stock Gibson. The headstock looks tacky. Les Paul hated the SG (so why promote that?) The zero nut isn’t a wise decision, perhaps good option, but not as a standard feature. The G Force tuning would also be a good option, but not as a standard feature. I just inspected 12 Les Paul standard guitars. The necks are Not set at the correct angle. The action is high, no reserve on the bridge adjustment. A few necks are severely bowed beyond correction. Only two are marginally acceptable, the bridge adjustment all the way DOWN to obtain reasonable action at 5/32 inch at low E ..unacceptable since the guitar will age, and no reserve to compensate.
Always enjoy your reviews Lee ! I always found SG’s to have a wide neck, so I am a little surprised they widened it further! Time to try one again, methinks.
Dawson music, thank you very much. If anybody can say what chords he used or pentatonic scale please say it.
sg standard lo mejorrr!!!!
Not worth 1,800.00 American, and that dumb ass LP headstock. Les despised the SG. Do away with the headstock puffery, and knock about 600.00 USD off the price and Gibson would sell more than they could make. When will they get it right?
Sir, whats the track you are playing starting from 5:09
is it from a song or your own improvisation
Isn’t that the guitar (almost the same guitar) that George Harrison from the Beatles played??
Can currently be had brand new with a hard case for £899. Approaching bargain status imho.
Any reason why Les hates the sg so much? I love it!
ATTENTION GIBSON. Stop with this bullshit!! These new guitar are horrible and I seem to be one of many who feel this way!
