To the original 1961 all the way from body to all electronics and p90's pus. The epi has better tone than the gibson 61 reissue. Better feel and sustain also. The epi custom shop 50th anniversary 61 is simply superior over the gibson model.
People thers only 2 guitar companys in the world that make the REAL SG.they are Gibson and Epiphone. Now my point. I have played a 2010 Gibson 1961 reissue sg. And i just bought the Epiphone custom shop 50th anniversary 1961 sg. The epi is 100% accurate
thats sum prime tone coming form ur gear. Feels different when its proper quality. some very interesting melodies. i didnt really like any of your fast bits cos they felt really sloppy. ur great sounding melodies void that tho 5 stars
awesome vid, i have a video demo'ing th 66 re-issue epi SG i think both guitars are great watch my vid and tell me wat ya think as we are both fellow SG users/lovers
Well, it was designed in conjunction with Eddie Van Halen. He's pretty much the king of hard rock! Alot of guys use this amp for metal, but I use it for hard rock and it works excellent.
The combo and head/cab setup are both great, but different. The combo seems a little warmer to me and some people say they're biased hotter or something (non-adjustable.)
When I was 23 like you, I also thought I knew everything. If you keep maturing over the coming years, you may look back on this and realize how ridiculous it is for you to call someone a "fool" for buying a guitar they really like regardless of price or brand.
I'm sure that SG copy can sound good in the hands of a good player and I'm happy you like it.
You need to worry about your own choices in gear, not mine.

You were a fool to buy that guitar.They retail for about £1200,I bought the Jim Harley SNG 60 for £199 its just as good, exactly the same and cost a tenth of the price. You were ripped Off dude!
I'm really excited for you! It must be awesome to be fully satisfied with cheap Asian made guitars that are copies of the "real thing."
You can save alot of cash that way! Maybe you can use some of the leftover money to buy a Crate amp that's "just as good" as the stuff from Diezel, Bogner, Soldano, CAA, etc...!
Great wankfest my friend. I have the exact same amp. It's a fire breathing dragon. I have always dug the looks and sound of an SG, but they have never felt right to me. You make them sound pretty good though. I have a couple of wankfest vids myself if you feel like checking them out.
I always love watching you jam man, on different gear and guitars, and am so happy to see you picked a 61 reissue up!! I fell in love with it too, and I know what you mean when "that" guitar lands in the palm of your hands, somethin weird about it and unexplainable, it just happens. I can't wait to hear you play this baby on some of your other amps!! Congrats and rock on!! \m/
I love the way SG's play as well. One of my Axe bro's used to have a 76 SG Custom. He was such a Randy Rhodes head , it was awesome. Kicker was he played it thru a Gorilla 15 combo lmao.
Hey, nice riffin on that Tesla song @ 2:53 dude. Sounding good!
Btw were you having a Natty moment here? (natural light) LoL. Thats a staple here in the south LoL. Speaking of your R8, is the neck thinner than the r9? Using this info for down the road. Thanks man
Heck yes! At home, I always drink Natural Light. It goes back to my teenage days when I didn't have any money and that's all we could afford. LOL! I like it myself. :)
In general, the "older" the reissue, the bigger then neck. So the R7 is bigger than the R8, the R8 is bigger than the R9, the R9 is bigger than the R0, etc...
Since the necks are done by hand, I know this can vary. The neck on my R8 is chunky with a VERY soft "V" shape to the back of it, believe it or not.
Thanks man! It's a Marshall 1960BV, which is a straight-front cab loaded with the Marshall labeled "Vintage" speakers made by Celestion. Some say they're the exact same thing as Vintage 30s, but others say they're a little different.
I kinda think they're a little different myself, but who knows... :)
Ya know, you're exactly right! There's something about this guitar that makes me play alot differently than normal.
I used the SG at a gig last night for the first time and the other guys in the band even commented on how my playing was different (better.) It's weird how this guitar inspires me to step outside the safe zone.
The playability and tone are ridiculous. I've owned alot of guitars and I think this one is the easiest playing guitar ever (and it sounds fantastic.)

I think I like them better then Les Pauls. I use to have a 1970 Les Paul Custom
but never liked the neck that much.
I think I will have to buy one of these 61 reissue. I have Strats,EVH, Dean 12 and looks like I will add this to the bunch,

@SgtThump lol well one more question, would the amp head and cab produce the same tone as a combo version of the 6505+?

The combo and head/cab setup are both great, but different. The combo seems a little warmer to me and some people say they're biased hotter or something (non-adjustable.)
