  • Its very clear youdont know about epiphone by just your post. Gibson hasnt put out a better guitar on the most part than epiphone since 2008. Gibson is make nothing more than overpriced shit. Epiphone has been been makeing underpriced works of Art period!

  • Hate to break your balls Gibson players But stratdem rights. Vintage guitar players prefer the Epiphone limited edition 50th Anniversary 1961 Sg Reissue over The Gibson model and it's not hard to here and see why there simply brilliant! Gibson is old news now its Epiphones time to shine and shining very bright they are!

  • @EPI6fingers no. im not a gibson or an epiphone player but i can garantee you that there is a huge difference in sound quality between gibson and epiphone in which gibson is clearly superior

  • i fucking love this guitar

  • Vintage Gibson has said that the Epiphone custom shop limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 sg. Is most certainly 100% true to the original Gibson 1961 sg. And that Gibson themselfs could Not Have crafted this guitar any better!

  • @stratdem Right..

  • what song was it at 1:17 ?

  • Do you like it more than the SG standard

  • Gibson 61 reissue has. The original 61 came with P90's and the epi 61 reissue sg has the original P90's in them.

  • Xthi you play with your dick to much. Heres a kick in the balls all you gibson players. The epiphone 50th anniversary 1961 sg is 100% accurate to the original 1961 sg the gibson 61 reissue. For example the 61 did not come with 57 humbuckers like the

  • BEST REVIEW ON THE BEST GUITAR !!!!!!

  • The Peavey Classic 30 is so awesome..

  • SO FUCKING SEXY.

  • I`ve just bougt one of this! So I just must like it! The only thing I will say to You...... :Take down the treble,or the "discant"! This is "killing my ears"! Friedley: Thommy!

  • i like your taste in music and in guitars, sir! i'm thinking of getting one of these, but i've read some reviews that mention

    1. a weak neck joint (seems to be a problem with almost all SGs)

    2. a slightly muddy tone on the neck pickup (i noticed that you didn't demo a clean tone in your video)

    3. slight tuning problems

    have you experienced any of these? it's quite an investment, so i'd like to be sure of its quality before getting one. any info would be much appreciated!

  • @ianisc00lio hey, i've got one also. let me help you out.

    1. sg's have a reputation of having a weak neck joint, don't they? rest assured they are built to last. the neck joint is plenty strong and can withstand any reasonable wear and tear.

    2. it's part of the appeal. that dirty, gritty rock and roll sound.

    3. because the neck is so long and thin, it's easy to bend the neck and warp the sound while playing. but in my experience they stay in tune fine.

    hope that helps! i've been loving mine

  • nice job hittin some mule

  • aerosmith = ftw!

  • heres some of the guitarist who like the the 2010 model g-400 62 sg over the gibsob sgs.

BAND he's in - TRAPT. chris robertson.
  • @stratdem They don't like them over the gibson ones..... If they are using those guitars, then it means that those players are enforced by Epiphone, which means: Epiphone gives them free guitars. May I also inform you that those guitars are mostly made by the Gibson custom shop which means they are actually gibsons but with another headstock and Epiphone written on it, not the cheap indonesia versions. It's just a promotion stunt

  • i want a time machine to go back in time and buy a real gibson (sg) les paul standard for the quality and the price today is too high but that doesn't mean i'm poor

  • Solo played at around 1:50?? Thanks, btw sick guitar dude!!

  • @MosesGuitar60 Fall to Pieces by Velvet Revolver

  • i would take the 2010 model Epiphone G-400 1962 SG over the Gibson

    any day!

  • @stratdem then you are deranged my friend

  • @Kreason95 no derangedmeny here pal just plain simple facts.

    thats why today 2011 the epiphone g-400 62 sg is no longer made

    gibson got scared because of the 2010 epiphone g-400 was sooo good!

    end of story

  • @stratdem no, I have one and I have a Gibson SG 61 re-issue, and standard, gibsons win

  • @Kreason95 and i have a original 1969 gibson sg i still like the 2010

    epiphone g-400 much better than the gibson standard sg.

  • @stratdem 2010 epiphone 62 g-400 sg is what i ment to say!

  • @Kreason95 deranged, no cash to spend and on crack.

  • I love VAN HALEN!

  • guys! i hawe a gibson sg standard 09 but im abouth to get an resisue what u guys think?

  • @Blompcube I've heard this too and I once again I think this is a myth. My faded SG certainly has a one peice body glued into the set neck, and I made a point of checking out several faded SG's at a local guitar strore recently and they are all the same - once peice bodies. I should clarify that I'm actually talking about faded/lacquered "Specials" not "Standards" - I think Standrds have the 498T in the neck.

  • 61 Reissues aside, Fadeds are constructed JUST AS WELL as standards. Both have mahogany bodies, both have set necks, both have 490R/490T pickups. If you want to spend a bit extra then thats your decision but you're just getting lacquer and inlays - no difference in tone or quality at all. Sorry but this 'faded are crap' gear snob ignorance really shits me. My faded SG Gibson is my favourite guitar, yes even over my Gibson Les Paul (and ithas lacquer finish & pretty inlays). It's all about tone.

  • @cyke74 actually, the SG specials have bodies made of several pieces of wood, whereas the standards have one-piece bodies. this tends to make the standards noticably more resonant, but it's not an enormous difference and you are paying more mostly for the cosmetic differences.

  • Comment removed

  • turn it up man!

  • Aerosmith, AC/DC. Love The Video =)

  • Love the right hand picking style man.

  • "Sunshine of Your Love"? "Tales of Brave Ulysses"? Any early Santana? The Who?

  • Theres something i dont understand.

    Look at Gibson Sg guitars. Everything is the same , but the finish isnt the same , that cant be the reason of those prices ! I mean SG Standart: 998 Euro and the Special Faded is only 599 euro but the guitar finishes are the difference

  • @Cloerpictures Don't forget construction, and how good the wood is, and in some cases the pickups.

  • @jofussdean believe me its the same!

  • @Cloerpictures Fadeds aren't constructed as well. The last one I saw needed a lot of fretwork, and there uneven glue spots. Plus a standard has a binding on the neck, the faded does not. There are inlays in the fretboard in the Standard, and dot in the Faded. So, yeah, there is a bit of difference. And plus, Gibsons quality control has really taken a nose dive, so I'm not surprised at the subpar work.

  • @punkmusicmetal

    I own a gibson too so i know what im saying about it , doesnt matter gibson guitars are worth every euro!

  • twice as hard awesome black crowes song

  • It's coool!!

    This guitar's pickups are 57classic?

  • @TheT47 yea they are 57 classics

  • Brutal tone men !! fantastic guitar, i love it !!

  • Trying to decide between this and a les paul traditional pro. Any help?

  • whats the name ot the song at 2:50? it sounds awesome!

  • @hallmorales Are you serious? It's Sunshine of Your Love by Cream.

  • the song's called sunshine of your love from cream.... Jimi Hendrix Covered the Song...

  • that sweet emotions was fuckin sick!

  • Target aquired....... This be the next purchase. Love the 61 re and 57 pkups kill!

  • are u Angus Young?

  • how many frets on this guitar?

  • @TENGKUOAIDIL..... 22 jumbo

  • Nice tone ! Whats the song at 0:44 please ? (I know it, must be Aerosmith or some, sure ! xD)

  • @MojoMouton its sweet emotion

  • you seem to tense when playing guitar

  • This is not Riffguy!

  • nice taste in guitar and music.

  • what's the difference between this and the standard vos?

  • @zonkyemil So quarter step down? :)

  • Hey how is that thing? It sounds very awesome! I wish I had one. I really dig SGs, but I only have the faded special (tone, finish, and playability is epiphone at best) . D: A guitar like that would look great next to my Paul, and my Humbucker Strat :D

  • I see I am not alone in the Highway to Hell trouble. I play it the same way but when put next to the recording it sounds slightly off. I tried half step down and up with not luck (although I may try that again). Anybody know what Angus does differently in the recording? Quarter step?

  • what is that song being played from 0:00-0:50?!?!?

  • @CJsoccer4 "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith :)

  • @JoOzLeOs thanks :)

  • the first song is sweet emotion right?

  • @gtamodman122 YES

  • man be careful with you teqnique the thumo is supposed to be behind the neck i wont talk about the picking cauz you should work on it...except from those you play really good

  • @4390818

    The thumb shouldn't be behind all the time, I use it for the 6 string some time, some professionals do it, too. But i guess he doesn't use for the same purpose(at least not always). Anyways all good beside the sound.

  • @4390818 actually having the thumb behind the neck of the guitar is more of a classical position- that is just to protect you from injuring your arm by overextending. If your hands are big enough, like his, its more beneficial to use your thumb to mute the 6th string and 'thumb' notes.

  • lots of noise little music!!!

  • aerosmith!!!! fuck yeah!!!! nice guitar guitar by the way :D

  • I'am planning to buy one from Thomann d o t . D E + an Angus Young Pickup, then i just need an Marshall to get the best tone (''best'' imo since i love the characteristic Marshall sound).

    Can't wait to get one :D

  • @Eddiemotor you also need the '57 classic humbucker in the neck cause angus has his signature pick up in the bridge

  • @epiphonelespaulrule um the 61´ Reissue already has 2 '57 Classic's from factory , so no i only have to buy the AY pickup and bolt i on.

  • black crowes! fuck yeah! :)

  • i was just wondering, is the fretboard wider than a les pauls????

  • hay man i am not tryen to say

    am to good ok look i using mycell i dont have a computer man totol my bad ok i posted once but it posted twice sorry.

    peace

  • Both the SG and Les Paul are great sounding. But I give it to the Les Paul for sound. The SG for style and look. It has that tough look.

  • I WANT ONE SO BAD D: This is my dream guitar

  • Is this the clean tone from the pickups and nothing from the amp?

  • this is a wonderful guitar.

  • Is the non-Custom Shop 61' also available with the Maestro Vibrola ?

  • it's a wonderfoul guitar,i junt dont like of this pickguard...

    thats why i changed my one!

  • thumbs up mate, I like guys who are not showing off but just playing what they want to play, nice guitar, I just bought a Gibson SG but its a standard :P

  • crank that thing up man ... strings are louder than the amp :D

  • Those 57's sound good. Great demo. Thanks for posting it.

  • dang calm down lol awsome tho

  • q hermosa guitarra creo q me la meresco Y_Y

  • mic ur amp dude XD

  • I have a Harley Benton SG guitar and it seems exactly like the Gibson SG, is the Harley Benton version a copy? sorry for my bad english

  • @valdeemar yes it is and a bad copy

  • man I wish had your amp my amp sounds like shit.

  • Thumbs up!

  • Yeah... it's the '61 SG that John Mayer uses on the last track of his new album. Great sound! Man I'd love to hear that SG through a Dr. Z amp.

  • rock on!

    i like the way you play

  • What song at 1:48?

  • it' the fall to pieces solo(velvet revolver) by slash

  • @alexguitarroductions

    Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces

  • Man that amp sounds real good. I have a 1960's or 70's peavey 212 classic 50w duel tube amp.... wow that was a mouthful

  • great tone man, i just bought that exact guitar at guitar center 2 days ago and i couldn't be happier. the 57 classics are amazing, I'm really happy i got the 61 RI over the 08 standard

  • @Shockinfox dude shut up, acting like your better

  • hay man love the SG not bad on the songs hay i got a SG my self.keep on jamen man

    peace

  • Anyone know the song that begins at 2:00?

  • Great job on Twice As Hard

  • whats the first song

  • Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

  • im an old rocker of 62 summers, i have a 1961 sg and wouldnt part with it but believe me when i say, prise the chrome dust covers off your humbuckers and you will find that the sound has been "released" i done it many years ago and have never regretted it, you will be amazed at the difference.

  • Your tone starting around 1:00 is awesome.

    Is that with the rat clone?

    what rat clone in specific you using?

  • what about a cheap replica of a sg having the same wood of course and just changing the pick ups you would still gget the same sound no?

  • @SearchInSun Depends on how well the guitar has been put together and how good a grade the wood is. If the guitar has been made to a fairly high standard and the mahogany used is of a decent grade and well seasoned, then there is no reason why you should not get similar sound, remember the quality of the neck and fretboard are important too.

  • Rock it out dude!!! i'm going for the same set up as you... tried both out in guitar center not too long ago. I put the 61 reissue up against the sg standard and les paul standard on the 30 watt head version of this amp, and the 61 sounded best to my ears. Which is your favorite all round guitar? your 61 or LP? Rock on!! \m/

  • nice work

  • nice tone, good sound keep up the work, i got a vintage 1973 Gibson SG like a week ago its ftw. Weather its new or old, all gibsons fricken own!

  • Just got my SG '61 reissue yesterday. It's a great guitar.

  • nice playing
