Gibson SG..The SG stands for for Solid Guitar

Jack Daniels at the back... :P

[bille77]

Customer Reviews:

A lot of guitar players buy guitar after guitar working their way up to the upper line models. Why not save money and buy one from the start. I had a low end Gibson Epiphone for about 10 years. I've been saving my money for a while and then finally I decided to get something nice. My reasoning for picking the SG over the Les Paul, or ...

[sexiguiterguy12345]

Sg are so underrated. I think that they are just as good as les pauls. My sg is from 1997 and I got it last year and I love it

[TheRimy22]

omg ... the first time im seeing the captain playing xD

[hawg427]

How do these Rosewood fretboards compare to the new "Baked" finish the new SG has?

[Emogal1991]

@hawg427 sounds a lot brighter in my oppinion, also feels great to play :D

[JayFraser0987]

@grainin You have to play songs slightly differently if you are doing a commercial advertisement for something, unless you want to have to pay licensing fees for the music. In order to avoid having to pay stupid amounts of money, pretty much every famous song played on Robs channel for Andertons is played slightly wrong.

[poshi12]

No matter what modle ya get.Neck dive will always happen:P

[DrLubitel]

I have the special. Most loveable guitar I ever had!

[kevipew]

That bottle of Jack was full before the making of this video.

[MrLyndon615]

The SG Special Faded is hand-finished in grain-textured nitrocellulose in a simplified process that results in a gently road-worn appearance.... not wax

[ImDaveYognaught]

He did not just play Battery at 18:09 what a LEG-END!!!

[LukeEastwoodMusic]

@ImDaveYognaught Metal-lyf \m/

Lol

[puti4president]

Where are his hair ??!!! :O

[MemorymanDL]

Wow, was that The Smiths?

[TheStevieD09]

like a polished shark... clean yet snappy >:D

[grainin93]

Played back in black wrong

[khamerie]

[pipsqueek14]

@khamerie sunshine of your love by cream

[museman98]

Chuck Norris !!! at 12:49 !!!

[downboyblues]

Standard wins! What a tone! :-)



[sebsoriano19]

I love how Chappers sniffs the guitars at random times in the vid.

[duras427]

what genre of music is 8:52 ?? someone help please

[saadsnake6]

boobies at 0:06 yummmm

[junkerde]

sg's ive tried had the string height high from the bridge pickup than lower to the neck. felt uncomfotable for me. is that how all of them are? if so i wont be getting one anytime soon, it might sound great, butit just doesnt feel right if this is the case.

[RobbyWheelerGuitar]

@junkerde You'll notice that most guitars are similar in this regard. It's just how they're built. It's just more noticeable on the SG because the body is totally flat.

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

You guys are far too fond of way too much distortion. Turn down the gain a little and let us hear the guitar please.

[vlmcross]

Battery !! hell yeah

[steamkidsdad]

that neck looks huge.....

[Noobshire]

No you were right, good intonation can 'feel' better. Well bad intonation certainly makes me feel sick :)

[jitk1]

does the capt'n hate john mayer xD

[Bluebuthappy182]

"All animals are equal but some are more equal than others" from Animal Farm by George Orwell. Aldous Huxley was "Brave New World"

[RLtW88]

I achieved an instant erection when hearing that Cream riff on the first SG. Instant. Erection.

[EriksAnarchy512]

Hi guys! can anyone help me with choosing a new guitar. im stuck between the gibson sg special (as shown here), the gibson sg special 60s tribute, and the epiphone 50th anniversary sg special 61 w P90s. which would be best? i love to play blues, rock, hard rock and metal

[RLtW88]

@EriksAnarchy512 I can't speak for everyone, but if I opted for an Epiphone when I could afford a Gibson, I know that I'd be disappointed down the road.

[White0Shadow0]

Ya'll need a bigger couch

[D0nRidah]

omg the monkey lord lost his hair

[GadgetOverview]

I have SG Classic. I like it the most of the three. Like if you agree!

[Kreason95]

@GadgetOverview The Classic is good for what it is but if you have a Classic you also need a standard, the Humbuckers have more versatility (IMO) I love the Classic for bluesy stuff and crunchy stuff, I love the standard for everything, my personal favorite is the Standard with Coil Splitting because you can get whatever sound you want out of it

[GadgetOverview]

@Kreason95 true but I just love P90s more than Humbuckers for some reason. There is just something very warm about P90s. I can't explain it.

[Kreason95]

@GadgetOverview I love them too lol, they aren't my favs but when I pick a guitar with p90s up I go all George Harrison on that thing.. lol I'm getting my first Gibson soon, it's a Gibson SG Standard with coil splitting (a Guitar Center exclusive) I highly recommend you check it out, after messing with it a bit I actually got p90 sounds out of it

[superskwrl]

I know this video is about the SGs but that pedal at 7:20 stole the show! I was really surprised that you can get that tone from a pedal.

[ravenshield56]

Day after my Bday :)

[skylineXpert]

what happened to chappers, did ye a haircut.

i root for the classic

[RhysHoneMusic1]

Why don't u finish that bottle of jack already :L it's been in loads of your videos :L and hasn't re-filled or emptied :L

[maggot6639]

a SG with a blackstar amp seem like a perfect combo!

[AlexxAndHisGuitar]

6:41 - you naughty boys and your subliminal messages <3

[Noobshire]

@AlexxAndHisGuitar As this is an advertisement, technically illegal too :D

[Naryeima]

Anyone see the flash of Black Widow from The Avengers Movie at 6:40 ????

[mikeygheetarz]

It really is strange how an SG looks on Chappers. I'm so used to an ML1 at this point...lol

[pylorca]

Why do you waste a pineapple? :/

anyway, good review

[carlomagnobisda]

Yeah! I have a SG Standard! :D

[wyldefan716]

12:48

[winwin997]

excuse the spelling...here is part of the last sentence.....pr a certain guitar within the same line of say "Les Pauls" which feels right for some unknown reason other than feeling right!

[winwin997]

Dear Rob.

After reading your SG response would you say that there is such a thing as the chemistry between the guitarist and the guitar! For example a certain model or brand or a certain guiate within the same line or saay :Les Pauls"..which feels right for some unknown reason other than it feels right!

[wyldefan716]

6:39

[clonetrooperbj]

I wanted to apologize, I accidentally hit the "dislike" button instead of "like" so i chopped of my finger..... HAHA just kidding im DEAD!

[trhnpc]

Man I wish I could afford the special SG! I guess I'll have to wait for now and be satisfied with my Aria PE anniversary that I won't be able to play for 3 more days, as it is getting new frets :(

[JaraCovers25]

fender stratocaster american deluxe hss olympic pearl rosewood fingerboard on the right side !

[LesterPaul01]

What about the 61' reissue?

[EpiclyConnor]

When can we expect some more Andertons videos?

[jwalsh8]

14:47

[MadSpectro7]

One more thing: SG stands for Solid Guitar.

[MadSpectro7]

Gibson didn't discontinue the Les Paul just because they felt like it. They discontinued them because they flopped in the late 50's. The SG was the product of Gibson's need to make a more futuristic-looking guitar that could compete with the Stratocaster.

[MBvolcom92]

@MadSpectro7 The SG was actually just a newer Version of the Les Paul, and was at one point called Les Paul. But les paul himself did not like the design, so they went back to the classic les paul design, and renamed the SG to SG (meaning solid guitar)

[MadSpectro7]

@MBvolcom92 Gibson didn't reintroduce the classic Les Paul Standard until 1968 due its rise in popularity over the 60s. The SG, however, had "Les Paul" officially removed from its name in '61. The Gibson website says itself that the SG was originally intended to replace the Les Paul.

[MBvolcom92]

@MadSpectro7 thats exactly what i said :P

[elminermacho]

ahahahah!! You' re very funny!!!! :)

[sndgarden]

whoa, hot chick on 06:40 O.o

[MadSpectro7]

@sndgarden Chuck Norris at 12:49

[EPI6fingers]

Gibson for the most part hasnt made a better guitar than epiphone since 2008. The chinese luthiers smoke the majority of American luthiers. And if you dont think so well you need to get a grip because they are. Mike votlzs made epiphone great again!

[EPI6fingers]

Theres certain models of epiphones Sg's and Lp's smoke Gibson. Ever since epiphones state of the Art factory open in 2002 in china under the full direction of EX Gibson USA Master Luthier michael Votlzs its been up hill for epiphones guitar quality .

[MrDylanDGK]

Getting smashed off the jack like a true champ

[lifternate]

SG Classic FTW

[MrMarean0]

SG STANDARD!!!!upupup

[EPI6fingers]

Pur1fy the 2010 model Epiphone G400. Standard 62 Sg is still conciderd among professional and none professional guitarist to be the best standard Sg out there today this is a fact not some empty bullshit opinion. Also the 2011 Epiphone limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 Sg reissues are preferred over the Gibson model by vintage guitar collector's by a country mile this is also a fact. do research before you open your mouth.

[Nesto885]

@EPI6fingers compare the Gibson Les Paul to any Epiphone product and it will get fucking smashed. Epi's are also made in china but i'm sure you already knew that. Did you know that the in the 80's squire made better guitars than fender lol.

[MaximumRocker30]

I have the Gibson SG Standard. its an AMAZING instrument.

[bzayed8080]

this video helped me a lot thanks guys, was wondering if u can compare Les Paul Standard to a Studio.... would be even great if you have the signature Buckethead Les Paul (standard and Studio) there is a huge diff in price for these two.

[aektzis91]

my favourite one is the one with the p90's.

[hnorri1]

hi monkey lord hi captain lee how about hows about sound like Angus young for about 1000 ponds cheers hnorri1

[EPI6fingers]

It's called setting assholes like You straight and you don't like it I say tuff fucking shit to you do understand that asswipe!

[PuR1fy]

@EPI6fingers Ok, and now understandable?

[rsaathoff]

I have the SG Classic and I love the P90s. Very dynamic to power rock, to blues to even jazz when your roll the volume and tone back. I do prefer the sound of the EL34 valves with this combo for sure.

[EPI6fingers]

The 2010 model Epiphone G-400 standard 62 Sg shits on the Gibson standard Sg with out any doubt!

[Guitarjosii]

@EPI6fingers errrr... no.

[rsaathoff]

@EPI6fingers I've played both and your wrong. YOu spam all over these vids.

[Jamyjamyhamy]

HOT Chick @6:39



[commenteverythingguy]

I have a awesome Gibson les paul Studio in worn brown finish, i bought it from Thomann.de for the superprice 590 euro! a real deal, if you want a les paul check it out :)

[aerosmithisawesome11]

He actually told us why he smells all of the guitars he plays!!

[twistedH3L1X]

Subliminal advert not so subliminal

[15viceandvirtues]

Hell yes!! Battery and even some QOTSA!!!! Love ya, Chaptain!!!!

[brooklynstudio]

sg--sassy girl

[SouthernFriedCyanide]

Chappers, could you make a video like this but on Explorers and Flying Vs? I can't find any vids with you playing either :(

[1013637]

Satan's Guitar... I mean it's all red with horns COME ON!

[nazareneartists]

whoa no hair? my lord a bald monkey lord!

[paneercfc]

6:40 enjoy

[EPI6fingers]

The 2010 model Epiphone G-400 Standard 62 sg and the Epiphone limited edition 50th Anniversary 1961 sg Reissue i find to be better sg's than Gibson models. Epiphones only down fall is there way under priced for the top quality they produce today.

[LedZeplican]

i rly want one of those classics....

[nintendonut100]

don't compare Cap'n to Mayer, the Cap'n is waay better! 

[Mcombo7]

15:10 SUPER GAY GUITAR

[kieranxRHCP]

@Mcombo7 just no ....

[yamahabmxer1]

i bought one of there sg specials and i have a problem with keeping some of the strings in tune G-D and sometimes the high e.

could you help me please? are it the tuners - bridge? i have no idea:P

[ThieleM]

@yamahabmxer1

From the factory Gibsons often have this issue. I'd suggest going to the shop and having the nut cut properly.

[1013637]

@yamahabmxer1 The nut. You can try filing the notch just a HAIR down.. and use super glue and baking soda in case you cut too deep. Or, take it into a guitar shop and have a pro fix it, shouldn't be too expensive. It might be covered under warranty as well.

[alkimst13]

i got one new in 1972. lost interest. traded it for a dirt bike. the guy still has the SG and the bike got scrapped. fucking retarded i was.

[Z0S0The0utrider69]

did anyone else notice the bottle of jack on the blacksatr amp?

[stringslayer97]

@Z0S0The0utrider69 not only in this video ^^ but why do they drink that cheap shit ?! ;D in england is so much better whiskey XD

[ThomasDeLello]

The pros and cons of the Gibson SG are:

Pro: Easy reach to frets in the highest register. Excellent tone from mahagony body.

Con: Balance, when hanging from a giutar strap is a little off. Easy to break at body/neck joint if mishandled, but is repairable.

[ThomasDeLello]

I got mine. It's SN#: 915501 made in 1969, red finish with one P-90, I lke it...!

The SG's break easily if you mis-handle them. That's what I did. They snap easily at the neck/body joint but I got it re-laminated there and is good again. Don't do what I did. Who's the babe at 9:40, and what's with the Chuck Norris plug at 12:49...? Anyway... You only mentioned once that the Gib SG's are made of mahagony... it seems like that detail is worth more mention than just that... eh...?!

[lockpicker2k]

"Chappers, why don't you use SG's?" I would have respected a more honest answer. Something like....because Gibson doesn't throw money and goodies our way like Fender and few other sponsors do. /s

[RobChappers]

@lockpicker2k This comment is based upon zero experience/knowledge of the MI retail industry...

I don't "Use" SG's because I don't get on with them - simple as that.

Guitar brands do not "Throw Money & Goodies" at retail stores to promote their gear... I know because I own a guitar company and I have demonstrated for some of the best MI retailers in the UK for around five years now.

I have always demonstrated whatever the store wants to promote and what the people ask to see.

[lockpicker2k]

@RobChappers Understood, thanks.

[mdFriday13]

Iconic SG Players. Well if you watch the Woodstock film you will see Carlos Santana playing an SG Special with P90s.

[ThomasDeLello]

@mdFriday13 Didn't the guy in the "Doors" use one...? and "Cream's" bass player once...?

[LesterPaul01]

Frank Zappa played one too. And his tone was the shit! RIP FZ

[CameronDierendonck]

what's the riff from 06:18 - 06:40 please?

[Hagar00]

@CameronDierendonck

Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love

[Hagar00]

@Hagar00

There's also version made by Toto, it's more hard rocky.

[CameronDierendonck]

@Hagar00 Thx, awesome riff!

[TheRNRNation]

@MrLaserprint ok thx for your reply

[TheErrim]

WTF 6:40 thumb up if you stoped the vid there to see what it was



[ndc7]

6:40....gooooooooooooooo Scarlett

[Jnoble378]

that blackstar sounds godly!

[shaindaman13]

I find that although I love my Les Pauls, I tend to pick up one of my SGs more often lately. They are perfect guitars. Sometimes I think the tone of an SG my be superior to the Les Paul. Just depends on my mood though.

[TheRNRNation]

plz do some one know the name of the blackstar amp they are using in this vid ? thx

[MrLaserprint]

@TheRNRNation i think it is the ht soloist 60

[TheRNRNation]

Keep Rockin' dude.

[TheRNRNation]

You know, your demos are the very best demos you can get all over the world (at least all over Youtube :p ). I mean, here in France u can't find better demos on Youtube but what's really amazing is that even when i went to the USA, it was absolutly right too...

[saldarriagavelasco]

Excellent review for me! I got an SG standard EBONY, and I love it!!!

[stratdem]

Ey/les paul/john lennon/Nancy wilson and the list continues on of the big name pros that also play Epiphones. Epiphone dosent need Gibson,Gibson needs Epiphone.

[TheMetalHeaD256]

18:53 love Chappers' face there... hahaha.

[stratdem]

The classic plus bridge pickup is over wound. 1 inch 500k full pots. Snap/release wire harness. 2volum 2 tone with top hat knobs. A slim mahogany 60's taper neck with rose wood 22 fret finger board with rose wood neck binding. Gover 14:1 machine Eppi#1

[stratdem]

You will never convice me that Gibson standard sg is better than a 2010 model Epiphone G400 standard 1962 sg. The 2010 Epiphone G400 standard 62 sg has Epiphone usa made classic and classic plus humbuckers Double Vacum Waxed and wound with Enamel Wire.

[Danx1704]

The SG Standard has gibson's 490r 498t humbuckers pick ups, hasn't it?

[Lallen785]

If anyone's thinking of getting a Standard, i'd highly recommend it. Fantastic guitar.

[hongdekong]

no big famous guys? FRANK motherfudging ZAPPA!

[AlexWolfking]

what is that song at the begining.... sound cool...

[lexgarnier]

Gibson SG standard VS Gibson Les Paul standard Test.. now that would be good!

[waeichuen]

a stupid question, what's the name of the riff on 6:19?

[SpankieDublin33]

@waeichuen The song is called Sunshin of your Love by Cream.

[WorldsJungleGym]

I love lovepedals also. I have the Kalamazoo.

[ZZeppelinZoso]

song at 18:52 ??

[PJSquaresocks]

@ZZeppelinZoso know one knows Queens of the stone age ;)

[Dogfish360]

that classic sounded amazing... wow

[licksnkicks]

I was thinking special but I have fallen hard for the standard. If you can't afford the price of a new one as I know I can't. I have found some pretty good deals on Kijiji!

[AlSabbagha]

The day you do a Les Paul review like you did on this one, i will never look at another music store online. Promise.

[LIVE2ROCK2011]

@robchappers HOW DO THE PICKUPS ON THE SG SPECIAL COMPARE TO THE STANDARD ,

JUST WONDERING CUS OF THE PRICE DIFFERENCE

[guitarzz24]

thank god chappers cut his hair

[Mrsamlki]

Song at 18:10?

[StratPlayer4Life]

i could watch these videos ALL DAY!!!

[21stCENTURYBOY12]

is it just me or do SGs look better with a full pickguard than a half pickguard? matter of fact an SG with a half pickguard is ugly as hell :)

[sotongoko]

@21stCENTURYBOY12 i dunno dude..sometimes im lusting over full one and hating the half one...but when i saw the tribute one...i was...in love...
