It took me years to try an SG (Vintage vs6). It quickly became my favourite type of guitar. Slim, light, great upper fret access and pure rock tones. Love them
Just got one a few days ago (second-hand Vintage vs6, with Wilkinson hardware, and before they changed the shape of horns). I've always wanted an SG, but being a strat and superstrat player for most of my life I was aware it will take some getting used to and was dreading it to be honest, whether I'll be able to get accustomed to such a different guitar or not. It is a different feeling for sure (frets are farther from me than I am used to, and shorter scale and small and slim body made it seem like a toy at first), but I was amazed by how easy and enjoyable it is to play this guitar. A slim and fast neck and all of the frets being easily accessible... despite having to fight it a bit due to a certain amount of neck dive when standing, to my pleasant surprise, I've quickly grown to love the feel of SG shape, they are fantastically designed guitars.
I just found this channel about 10 days ago and have been glued to it ever since. Love the playing and the deep dives. I've learned a tremendous amount. Fantastic job with the channel. Cheers
Nice playing. I appreciate that you allow the notes to sustain instead of trying play as many notes as possible. Good taste is a rare thing here on youtube.
Thanks man that's really appreciated 😊🙏 playing and demoing the guitars is I find the hardest thing to do and I (very) often think it sounds a bit rubbish so I do really appreciate the support.
I bought my first Gibson SG in January as a bit of a 50th birthday treat. I had a couple of Epiphone SG`s quite a few years ago and I could of probably happily settled for another this time, but couldn`t resist finally owning a Gibson! As for this channel, they`re the only videos on RUclips that I watch all the way through! You should put some merch out, I`m a total sucker for merch!!
The beat up laquear Gibson parts castor, the southern rock is the cherry of them all. I thought of Dicky Betts and Allmans - love your channel Mate - well done
Thanks for sharing, Colin. Another great video. One guitar per week is manageable. That is being custodian to 52 , or 65 in your case. That first SG is a real beauty, fade and all. Magnificent tones. Some of us will recall the sweet tones Mick Taylor coaxed from his SG. Far more than an LP's little brother. And yes there have been some fine practitioners of single coil (not P90) SG's. ie Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush. Cheers!
I can watch this all day, all weekend 😊 SGs galore! Loved the first one the best. Almost looked like it had a red pickguard when you took off the pickguard 😂
To me the SG is the perfect guitar! It’s light, has all the girth of a LP, but with extra bite; not to mention way better upper fret access! I have 13 electric guitars, and if I had to reduce down to 1 only, without hesitation I would keep my 2013 SG Standard with ‘57 Classics…it just rips! Love these videos as always Colin! Cheers and Happy Easter!
I'm glad to hear that your SGJ got so much playtime, and hopefully still does if you haven't sold it. I bought my first Gibson Les Paul earlier this year and it was an immaculate 2014 LPJ in Fireburst. I bought it on the spot for a steal and like yourself changed most of the hardware. It's a beauty and is a great compliment to my 2004 Gibson SG Special. 👍🎸 And as always, thanks for doing what you do!
Colin, Just as I thought some excellent guitars in part one of your collection 👍 Nice sounding French metal guitar 👍 I love SGs never been bothered about neck dive but Wish they would start putting the Jack socket off the body front and on the side edge.
Thanks for sharing some of your wonderfull collection. So refreshing to see guitars that have actually been played and often, instead of being stuck in a display case for years. Many Thanks Again.
I keep seeing your flying V, and I want it! You will have to show that soon! I bought a 2004 faded SG second hand in 2012, and I fitted some Bare Knuckle Mules, changed the knobs to reflector knobs, and changed the truss Rob cover to a standard one. And it sounds amazing.
Hi colin... its so much fun to see you pull out the collection. Guitars need to be played!! I really liked the Marshal Tucker vibe to your playing this week. At least that what it sounded like to me. Very nice. Makes me want to pull a few out of the pile to play.. cheers.
I'm an American who adores everything English rock and roll. The Who being my absolute favorite band of all time. I always adored their accents and figures of speech. You sound just like them. I can watch your channel all day.
Hey Colin . Thanks again for your videos and your awesome musicality . Your 'Footage' with "croc cam" always reminds of a great worker who apparently found a better place to work . Thumbs up !
Fab vid mate, just bought myself the Epiphone SG 61 Vibrola awesome guitar! I had to tweak the trussrod a bit to enable a low action without buzz but that aside its a great sounding and very playable guitar. I can now see why so many folks love the SG. Nice playing Colin love your demo jams, look forward to the next vid! Cheers
Aahh! SGs and Colin with my Friday morning coffee! Heaven! I've been SG-less until recently, I just bought an Epiphone SG Classic with P90s about a week ago and am very pleased with the way it sounds. Looking forward to the next installment of your collection. Cheers my friend!
Woot. Just joined the SG club last month with an Epiphone. Can't watch right now but will come back. Later: Finally got to watch. Wow...THAT was a great episode man! Thanks for the Tour and looking forward to next installment! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Hi Colin! I enjoyed looking at and hearing all of your SG's. The one that gets my attention the most is the white one. That one is just so different than all of the others. My first really nice, non-budget guitar that I ever had is an SG. The one I just had repaired. This video makes me want to pick it up and play it. Sorry for the late comment. I usually try to see these on Fridays when they come out, but the last few weeks have been hectic for me. I hope you had a great Easter weekend. Cheers Colin! ✌
I watched half of this last night & nodded off!! Absolutely dug the French Jr & the soapbar 68-9? Sound great p90s. Yeah Col show us the rest, the amps etc. collection..more than interesting mate✌️
Always loved the distinctive sound of the SG, and some of my favourite guitarists played them - though I've never played one myself. Am I a philistine for saying I much prefer the SG Standard, at the end, to all the other vintage guitars and works of art? Ah, well, philistines of the world unite! Love the collection, and the first part of the video - looking forward to the next one, you big tease!
Hey Colin. Great video! I look forward to Fridays when I get to watch a new video from you. I’m excited to see your entire guitar collection and hopefully some amps as well. Nice tease at the end. See you next week.
This deep-dive into your collection seems to have reignited the emotional/ instinctive aspects of your playing. Which I love, because when you're feeling it, I'm feeling it. Props, brother.
Happy Friday! Still catching up aftrr a week of media abstinence, happy to see this great vid :) great collection, Colin! Very authentic! Loved your take on Willy the p :) Now, what was I saying about you being SG person ;)?
look at all these gorgeous SG's ! i really like the steel G kid, amazing looking, caught me off guard complety when you knocked it and said it was made out of steel haha, excellent video of these beauties
Great Film today Colin!!!! Like You Love SG's, and this is a walk down Memory Lane!!! Very Informative, Entertaining, and as always Nice Playing as well, You can tell You "Luv Em", sounded Great!!! Love the stories behind Your purchases of each one!!! Thanks for Great Films on Guitars!!!! Happy Easter Weekend!!! Cheers!!!!
Alright Colin an episode (and only the first part!) Only about Gibson (and one from a luthier guy in France) SGs, love it! As a proud owner of 8 SGs (5 Gibsons, 1 Epiphone Muse and a Harley Benton model) and one Guild Polara S-100 SG I guess I can say I'm an SG nut! Awesome guitars whether they're humbucker or P-90 or LB-1 (Guild) they're fantastic guitars, love em! Got my first Standard brand new in 1994 and been loving them ever since. Loved seeing part of your collection and look forward to seeing more 👍
Fliipin' brilliant, mate! Great intro jam played on a delicious little gem of an instrument, and that faded one was fated to be with it's Marshall counterpart in your capable hands. Maybe a clear scratch plate to show the original color? I love the SG in (almost) every iteration it has appeared and yours are all pretty tasty treats, friend!
I 💛 your 'komisch' turn of phrase Colin, that turns up from time 2 time in the Friday 📹's... guaranteed to bring a smile to my face which is always a good thing 😃 eg/You know the sticky, stickiness that's on the back of the label 😂 'Great stuff Col' far easier/better than just saying 'glue' 🤣 Now it's all makes sense... what with you once working 4 Comedy Central 😀 As for the SG's the piece of 🇫🇷 art is my clear favorite. I remember watching your original stooges inspired 📹 a couple of years ago. After a morning foraging psilocybin 🥳 hence it made an impression... Happy Easter m8'🐣
I am in SG Nirvana! Thanks for getting me back into SG . When you are an Angus sized guy you get to appreciate the proportions of the SG. Since I got my special my Les Paul rarely leaves the case.
Great video Colin! It’s so good to hear someone genuinely enthusing about their passion. You’re getting some great tones as well. It’s making me look at SG’s in a new light.
Talk about timing, going through different guitars in my collection, I finally found the SG with P90s will be my main guitar for gigs. Then this video came out. Now I have the Gibson SG 60s Tribute as my main and the Epiphone SG Worn as my backup. I enjoy watching your videos. Awesome playing and great format!! Your channel rocks!! 🤘
How fortunate you are to have that cast of characters about to jam with. Quirky and odd, some might say, but the unique is often more fun, so thanks for sharing your friends.
The 64 looks really cool with the fade , I’ve got a 2019 original collection SG Maestro and I’ve 64’d it in its looks and hardware love it and because of seeing your 62 sg “holy grail “ I traded a Chinese Lennon casino for a NOS 2019 SG jr and I love that thing super light and tone for days from that one p90 , Great collection Colin I’ve watched both part 1 and 2 just backwards lol , thanks
Beautiful collection and in my opinion the highly modified string through body SG just sounded fantastic. My favorite sounding of the bunch. Great video.
Hi Colin your faded sg, my 72 deluxe faded in an afternoon sat on a sofa with neck sticking up leaning on the back so i had a two tone finish. Also had a sg 100 which i fitted a neck p90 to all my mates called these sg,s the planks lol. although they were good players and could stand the heavy use of gigging. Wish i had them today, great vid mate looking forward to the rest of your collection Cheers Steve
Even though I am a bass player that switched from guitar to bass at 13 after playing guitar for a little over a year, I heard Disraeli Gears and Led Zeppelin II and fell in love with the sound of the bass guitar. My first bass was a 66 Gibson EB-0 because of Jack Bruce, not just my favorite bass player but all around musician. It made me fall in love with the sound of the SG, from Clapton in Cream to Tony Iommi and Angus Young, I think it's the best all around Rock guitar, I think they are better then a Les Paul because of the tone and the weight. I consider it the Gibsons version of the Telecaster, no frills, just a slab of wood, neck,strings and pups. Even though I have more then enough 70's and 80's Fender J's and P basses I will always keep my EB-0, and even though I only own an Epiphone SG and some other middle of the road guitars I promised myself before I turn 60, witch is 5 months away I will buy myself a Gibson, nothing new but a good 80's- 90's no frills SG. Maybe a Special with the P90's or I always liked one with mini Humbuckers but not a deal breaker. I am going to start looking for one and take my time and will have to play it first, I have said it before and I will say it again I love your playing Colin, cheers from America.
Amazing collection Colin, obviously SG’s make you smile and are one of your bigger weaknesses. But what a great weakness to have! Great video and content as always, enjoy the long weekend. 🤘
I have around 50 guitars myself, I’ll try to match your 65 sooner than later haha! Only have three SG’s though, one of them is a 2010 Standard also like yours, but it was a GC Exclusive in white with Burstbuckers, coil splits and ebony board…it’s my avatar on here if you can see it. These all sounded great, loved the tone of the metal custom one!
I was not prepared for that '06 A&H SG . . . that is truly a treasure, good sir. The more I see of that, the better! I am well and fully jealous, no disguising it
I stumbled across your channel looking for videos about upgrading an ES style guitar. I'm glad I did. Awesome guitars and love the stories about how you obtained them. You remind me of Lloyd at my local shop, but maybe it's just the hair 😀
My SG (Cherry, Special) doesn't neck dive. It does have a beautifully shaped neck, nice n thin, stays in tune. It only has 22 frets but I'm a rhythm player and only play a couple of solos but nothing up where it annoys dogs, I can reach the top fret on all the strings without any contortion and being an SG, I can literally play it all night, without it beginning to weigh around my neck like an albatross.
It took me years to try an SG (Vintage vs6). It quickly became my favourite type of guitar. Slim, light, great upper fret access and pure rock tones. Love them
Just got one a few days ago (second-hand Vintage vs6, with Wilkinson hardware, and before they changed the shape of horns).

Yes mate! Been looking forward to an SG collection video, they really are the best thing Gibson ever did :D
65 guitars is an immense collection my friend..I'll bet they're all fantastic players..😊
At least the day for all SG fans! Waiting for the next episode Colin. Cheers ✌🏼
Nice playing. I appreciate that you allow the notes to sustain instead of trying play as many notes as possible. Good taste is a rare thing here on youtube.
Thanks man that's really appreciated 😊🙏 playing and demoing the guitars is I find the hardest thing to do and I (very) often think it sounds a bit rubbish so I do really appreciate the support.
I love that brown SG at the beginning - the way the metal parts have clouded too. So cool!
What a lovely SG collection. You did some great modifications here. Thanks Colin, for showing us those gems.
I bought my first Gibson SG in January as a bit of a 50th birthday treat.

I love the look of a Walnut SG to be honest, that faded front is fantastic! 👍

The Le Pape all the way, Col. Gorgeous in every way. Thanks, mate!
Cheers John 😎👍
My favorites squared. I love SGs and I always dig it when you show us a bunch of guitars.
Thanks for sharing, Colin. Another great video. One guitar per week is manageable. That is being custodian to 52 , or 65 in your case. That first SG is a real beauty, fade and all. Magnificent tones.

52 is a nice round number Adrian! 😂 👍👍
Colin,
At last 👍I’ve been looking forward to a series on your guitar collection 👌
Great way to kick off a Easter Bank holiday weekend 👍
I can watch this all day, all weekend 😊 SGs galore! Loved the first one the best. Almost looked like it had a red pickguard when you took off the pickguard 😂
That's what i said.. should put a clear guard on it and leave the red exposed
To me the SG is the perfect guitar! It’s light, has all the girth of a LP, but with extra bite; not to mention way better upper fret access! I have 13 electric guitars, and if I had to reduce down to 1 only, without hesitation I would keep my 2013 SG Standard with ‘57 Classics…it just rips! Love these videos as always Colin! Cheers and Happy Easter!
Happy Easter John!
That 1st faded cherry top is the best color I've ever seen on a guitar imo. It's very rich and has great depth!
I'm glad to hear that your SGJ got so much playtime, and hopefully still does if you haven't sold it.
I bought my first Gibson Les Paul earlier this year and it was an immaculate 2014 LPJ in Fireburst. I bought it on the spot for a steal and like yourself changed most of the hardware. It's a beauty and is a great compliment to my 2004 Gibson SG Special. 👍🎸

That fade is amazing. Probably my fave SG color
Great Video Colin, was kinda gutted we did not hear the 2013 sgj. Fantastic looking guitar...
Keep up the great work🔥🔥

Ah thanks man that’s really appreciated 😊🙏
Amazing! If you could do a video of your pedal board and a review of your pedals...that would be quite interesting.
I just bought my first Gibson SG standard last week in cherry red. It also happens to be my first Gibson. I’m in love.

I watched half of this last night & nodded off!! Absolutely dug the French Jr & the soapbar 68-9? Sound great p90s.
Yeah Col show us the rest, the amps etc. collection..more than interesting mate✌️
Aloha and Mahalo Colin! Nice collection of SG's. Thanks for sharing. Interested in seeing the rest. Aloha!
Cheers Victor! 😎👍
Always loved the distinctive sound of the SG, and some of my favourite guitarists played them - though I've never played one myself. Am I a philistine for saying I much prefer the SG Standard, at the end, to all the other vintage guitars and works of art? Ah, well, philistines of the world unite! Love the collection, and the first part of the video - looking forward to the next one, you big tease!
Your love for Clash and Velvet Underground makes me so happy!
Hey Colin. Great video! I look forward to Fridays when I get to watch a new video from you. I’m excited to see your entire guitar collection and hopefully some amps as well. Nice tease at the end. See you next week.
This deep-dive into your collection seems to have reignited the emotional/ instinctive aspects of your playing.
Which I love, because when you're feeling it, I'm feeling it.
Props, brother.
😊🙏 thanks mate that’s really appreciated… and honestly I thought my playing sucked on some of these! 🤣
I was going to mow the lawn/do a tip run - that's Good Friday chores out the window!:)
😆👍
All lovely guitars, really forward to to following episodes.
Nice collection, wow! Nice playing, have a nice weekend 😀
😊🙏
Happy Friday! Still catching up aftrr a week of media abstinence, happy to see this great vid :) great collection, Colin! Very authentic! Loved your take on Willy the p :) Now, what was I saying about you being SG person ;)?
Just what we are needing on a Friday! Cheers Colin
This is the stuff I love- the quirky stuff! More of the collection, please.
Great playing, mate.
😊🙏
Wow!!!! The neck pick up on the faded sg is like nothing Iv heard before! Beautiful tone!
Thanks Colin
look at all these gorgeous SG's ! i really like the steel G kid, amazing looking, caught me off guard complety when you knocked it and said it was made out of steel haha, excellent video of these beauties

Love your videos mate, I love how in depth you go into talking about and analyzing the guitars, I could watch you all day, I’m subscribed 🙂
Fliipin' brilliant, mate! Great intro jam played on a delicious little gem of an instrument, and that faded one was fated to be with it's Marshall counterpart in your capable hands.

'Great stuff Col' far easier/better than just saying 'glue' 🤣
Now it's all makes sense... what with you once working 4 Comedy Central 😀
As for the SG's the piece of 🇫🇷 art is my clear favorite. I remember watching your original stooges inspired 📹 a couple of years ago. After a morning foraging psilocybin 🥳 hence it made an impression...
Happy Easter m8'🐣

I am in SG Nirvana! Thanks for getting me back into SG . When you are an Angus sized guy you get to appreciate the proportions of the SG. Since I got my special my Les Paul rarely leaves the case.
Great video Colin! It’s so good to hear someone genuinely enthusing about their passion. You’re getting some great tones as well. It’s making me look at SG’s in a new light.
Honestly I would just put the screws back in that first SG and leave the pickguard off. Really unique look with that fading. Great vid.
Zal Cleminson would be proud of you . Got to love an SG lovely collection
That '63 Historic SG is a beauty. That fingerboard being so light really matches the faded body.
my faves where the french sg and the 200 tones par excellent mt, a cracking vid m.
thanks col, i got an sg special with fire bird pups in it, its a killer axe m.

Some wonderful warm tones there Colin. Loved the single P90 hand made junior. Crikey that can growl!❤
My favorite show!

Maybe a Special with the P90's or I always liked one with mini Humbuckers but not a deal breaker. I am going to start looking for one and take my time and will have to play it first, I have said it before and I will say it again I love your playing Colin, cheers from America.
Amazing collection Colin, obviously SG’s make you smile and are one of your bigger weaknesses. But what a great weakness to have! Great video and content as always, enjoy the long weekend. 🤘
Thanks man and you!
YESSSS. I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. I need an SG. wish the JR's weren't so hard to find at a decent price.
I have around 50 guitars myself, I’ll try to match your 65 sooner than later haha! Only have three SG’s though, one of them is a 2010 Standard also like yours, but it was a GC Exclusive in white with Burstbuckers, coil splits and ebony board…it’s my avatar on here if you can see it. These all sounded great, loved the tone of the metal custom one!
Awesome! It's great to see you playing your favorite guitars. The SG 200 sounded terrific. Can't wait for the next installment.
I was not prepared for that '06 A&H SG . . .
that is truly a treasure, good sir.
The more I see of that, the better!
I am well and fully jealous, no disguising it
Wonderful Episode 👏👏👏
Always fun…. lovely collection.
I stumbled across your channel looking for videos about upgrading an ES style guitar. I'm glad I did. Awesome guitars and love the stories about how you obtained them. You remind me of Lloyd at my local shop, but maybe it's just the hair 😀
😁👍👍
Nice one Colin, definitely an SG man myself, my 2002 SG standard ebony also has no neck dive....
can't wait for part 2 of your guitars collection sir.
Hi Colin, I'll admit I'm a bit jealous now. Great SG collection! Cheers Nobby
Great collection enjoyed watching it👍
Man i love that steel LePape. My favorite guitar in your collection! It has such a nice sound. You hear Robbie Krieger when you play it!
😎🙏
Great intro! Love that tone! Great playing also!
Lots to see this week!
You cant beat an sg. A blessed relief after the back heavy les paul. The sg just wants to leap into your lap.
Fantastic, I've never tried an SG, might be time to ☺
My SG (Cherry, Special) doesn't neck dive. It does have a beautifully shaped neck, nice n thin, stays in tune. It only has 22 frets but I'm a rhythm player and only play a couple of solos but nothing up where it annoys dogs, I can reach the top fret on all the strings without any contortion and being an SG, I can literally play it all night, without it beginning to weigh around my neck like an albatross.
