My favorite guitar ever, just love how it looks and the bridge without the tune o matic
I'm the george gruhn's show number 1 fan!! MORE PLEASE
I almost lost it when i saw this was a '61 Special with no breaks. SWEEEEET!!!!
"Expecting companies to be logical in their nomenclature is likely to be an exercise in frustration and futility." Haha, oh George. Sounding like Mr. Spock there.
My folks bought me a LesPaulJr with two cutaways and a single pickup,but the cutaways were rounded and not like an SG at all.A couple years later they got me a LesPaul SG with a Bigsby tail piece,I still have that guitar and still love that guitar as it's one of the few memories I have of my parents...
Mr.Gruhn showed the neck joint on a couple old SGs.Mine has the more fragile neck joint and it did come apart a couple times before I fixed it by putting in a couple dowel pins,doesn't look original but it won't come apart either(and you can't see it until you flip it over)
My SG Standard had Les Paul on the head stock
whats that goldtop with the different bridge and neck pickup?
70's Goldtop Les Paul Deluxe with a Dimarzio DP169.
Angus called ,he wants his guitar back!
6:36
George's videos are best viewed while watching paint peel. In my opinion, that is........
HOW MUCH for that JR? 🎸💚
eternal me Possible, it's already been sold but you could call Gruhn's in Nashville & ask for a range of past values.
Didn't Les Paul stop them from naming the SGs Les Paul? Heard that some where?
yup.he insisted that gibson remove his name thats why they are rare. I think Gibson only made the SG Les Paul for two years since the Les Paul single cutaway model was dropped from the catalog in 1961 due to poor sales.
Yes, Les Paul was unhappy with the redesign of his guitar into a double cutaway like the SG. For I think one or two years Gibson made the Les Paul model in the body style of the SG and those guitars have Les Paul on them.
along about the chronometer reading of 3:31 George Gruhn explains that in the mid sixties Gibson changed the neck and body joint in an attempt to get less " warranty work " (.) .........a client of mine brought a 1962 era S.G. to me to re attach the neck to the body . I milled a clean landing on the neck , milled a channel down the center back of the body and glued in a 3/4 inch thick piece of Mahogany then milled a new mortise for the neck.....and finally glued the neck permanently to the body . I am just only faintly curious as to what the Gibson factory offered as a remedy for a neck break off. my curiosity becomes even more faint as to why Gibson milled the rhythm pick up cavity so deep (,).....and to make maters worse..............more body material was belt sanded away from the back of the body (making the supporting neck joint even thinner (!) I know the P 90 pick up is thicker (deeper) than the main body of the Humbucking , therefore a deeper cavity is nessesary in that instance .
timswift2 Hello timswift2, thank you very much for your comment & question to George! We will relay your question to him, personally, and will reply back to you as soon as possible with George's answer! So, Stay Tuned & Thanks for Watching, in the interim! Sincerely, The Musician Network (TMNtv)
***** hey , a million thanks , and I am grate full for just about any thing in the way of a look at these things (!) I try to reveal the source of any technical or historical info I learn about............... so I learned that Seth Lover was actually quoted as saying in regard to his Humbucking pick up ; "when you're in a business , you don't like to get too many varied parts " (....................) I learned that the humbucking pick up was first used on a hollow bodied arched top electric Spanish guitar . (which has almost 3/4 of an inch between the fret board and the body top (,) there fore a pick up with longer side mounting flanges is just fine (,) though if this same pick up is used for a 1 3/8 inch thick solid bodied guitar , most of the structural support is completely milled away (!) to make matters yet again even worse the humbucking pick up has threaded pole screws that extend 1/4 inch further out side the back base plate . and to use a phrase of Alan Watts ............they are" utterly erelevant attachments" as any one can use a die grinder and cut all six pole pieces flush with the pick up case ( there fore one can mill as shallow of a cavity as possible for this pick up . could it be , that Gibson did not want to make a separate pick up for solid bodied guitars (?)
what does SG stand for?
solid guitar
solid guitar that not solid enough

drop a gibson - you will cry.
drop a fender - you will pick it up and play it like nothing happened.
Thank god for LEO FENDER. You really showed all the other guys how to properly build a guitar, Leo.
Yeah, really showed us how to cheapen guitar build quality and mass produce them like henry ford produced cars
Nicholas Fanzo that why Townshend quit playing fenders back in the sixties. He couldn’t break them no matter how how he tried
+SnazzyGoodTimes it's a guitar not a coffee table. some Gibson sound as good as fenders, but nothing sounds better than a fender, no matter how well its made.
I had a Gibson SG like that one back in the mid 1960's and let me tell you, it was nothing special at all okay. Now Gibson made some great guitars back then like the ES 335 etc. but the SG was not, NOT, a great guitar.

Lol, you're a fucking moron.
Did Gibson not care about intonation?
