    Im mainly an acoustic player, play a lot of rhythm stuff in my band, and having had strats, teles, les Paul's etc. I've actually found sgs to be the most similar in feel to playing an acoustic, especially when sat down (just something I've noticed) probably with how it rests on your leg, fret sizes and where the bridge sits. In tone it's warm but can be hot when needed. Really versatile tbh. SGs are for me are the most underrated electric guitars, glad I opened my eyes to them.

    The classic/vintage Gibson bridge is called an ABR and they screwed right into the body of the guitar. The Nashville bridge was an update on that. The Nashville bridge screws into metal bushings in the body and it has a thumbwheel that raises or lowers the entire bridge. The Nashville bridge is also wider than the original ABR.

    Hi Landon. Welcome to the SG family. I have a number of guitars of different makes and from different manufacturers, but SGs are my favorite. I currently own four Gibson SGs and those are the guitars I play the most. Some of it is that emotional connection that I have to some of my favorite bands, like you have with Badfinger and Radiohead, but I love the feel of SGs and the tonal variety (it cleans up nicely and has a great mid-range growl). Gibson, IMO, has really stepped up their game the last two years under their current leadership and I really like the direction the company is heading. Anyway, thanks for the video and hope you have many hours of enjoyment playing your new guitar.

    @AlYeah73 2 года назад +19

    The SG is the best choice by far for me. Sounds great, not exactly like a Les Paul but close enough for a guitar that's like half the weight. The necks tend to be a little wider than stratocasters but their high fret access is way better. They do have neck dive issues, but like Landon said, they're easily solved. There's a reason it's the best selling guitar Gibson makes.

Tried Epi and liked those but now own two Gibson Tributes (2019 LP and 2021 SG) and love them. Both are flawless and I love the feel and sound, they are unique and everyone should try them. Not necessarily better than Fender or Gretsch or others but have that special Rock and R&R sound.

    I have a 2001 SG Standard that looks basically identical to that one. I really like the thick neck. It's not quite 50s, but very beefy. I just added some Kluson Revolution 19:1 ratio tuners. I do not like the 490R and 498T pickups in mine, so I am going to install some P90 style pickups soon. You should try the "top wrap" stringing method where you deck the tailpiece and route the strings toward the back of the guitar and wrap them over the top. The tailpiece is making solid contact with the top, but the reduced angle over the bridge lowers the tension of the strings. I think it is more comfortable that way.

  • @jeffrutledge5320
    @jeffrutledge5320 2 года назад

    I’m from Ottawa too and recently bought the exact same SG (my first SG but also have Les Paul custom) but got from kijiji.
    Have you tried doing a lot of bending on the G string? Is it staying in tune after releasing the bend? Gibsons are notorious for that string not staying in tune. Has to due with design of headstock, bent backwards and strings split side to side (3 on one side, 3 on other) this causes string to get stuck in the nut slots, appose to fender where the strings go straight and direct to tunners, little friction for them getting stuck.

    It seems that over the past few years Gibson has really turned their QC issues around, unfortunately it seems like Fender are now the one with issues mainly on their USA models. My SG came out of the box flawless, minus a volume pot that went out after a few weeks which Gibson warrantied without issue. Enjoy your SG!

    You're nuts! Nice review though. I have the '61 Maestro Vibrola SG (reissue) and like it very much. Being a Fender Stratocaster player my entire life (I'm 114 years old)...I don't do well without the Vibrola arm. SGs of this type get a bad rap for going out of tune with the Vibrola attachment but I use it for subtle tones and it's fine. Dive bombing may be a different story.
    Anyway it's my first Gibson SG and it's delightful. Glad you like yours -

    Nashville bridge might just be a newer style designed after they moved out of Michigan. 50’s Standard LP has the older style ABR bridge. Might have been designed for increased adjustment or was it cheaper to manufacture?

    • @ertugrulkaraduman5008
      @ertugrulkaraduman5008 2 года назад

      The Nashville bridge is WAY more stable from a construction point, since it's mounted tight in metal posts it can't lean forward under string pressure so easily. The ABR bridge is a historical feature / marketing ploy to make it seem more high end, yet it is easier and cheaper to implement.

    Now you're playing authentic (Agnesi reference). That guitar looks and sounds great. The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge is the one on this guitar. The original Tune-O-Matic version is called an ABR-1 which looks similar but is not as thick from front to back, has a wire across the intonation adjustment screws and is mounted on thin posts screwed directly into the body. I've had a black Standard for ten years and it's been great. Neck dive has never been a problem with a leather strap. The only design issue I've noticed is if you don't plug in an angled cord and use a straight end it gets in the way of the neck tone knob. The 5th and 7th fret inlays on mine are starting to lift out but it is not hard to fix.

      Gibson typically uses 500k on their humbucker guitars to combat muddiness, and Fender typically uses 250k to tame brightness of their single coils. That’s pretty much standard. You can safely assume this SG has 500k pots.

    I dig it man. Those stock gibson Pickups actually sound pretty damn good in most applications 👌
    Some people say you get better resonance with an ABR-1 style bridge vs a Nashville, due to the studs being directly drilled into the body.The ABR 1 has a couple drawbacks though, the little retainer clip over the saddle adjustment screws and the screw heads facing the bridge Pickup make them kind of a pain in the ass to adjust intonation in my opinion.
