"Brighter snappier sound without that maple top and that thick..." BULLSHIT. None of the woods matter on an electric guitar. It'd still sound the same if it were made out of maple syrup.

[johnfriley909]

I always enjoy these videos,good info and neat guitars.Wish I had a room full of these to pick from!

[fattiesg62]

its not that his tone is bad, its jsut not what sounds good to you, dave is more of a contry guy and its a contry sound, dont get me wrong i hate it to but that dosnt mean its bad

[Deathrape2001]

WTF @ this idiot clown & his fanboy retard video. Brighter, snappier sound than the Les Paul? OMFG! EXACT OPPOSITE! It's very muted & dark by comparison. Is this guy deaf, or just INSANE? LoL =)) He may as well talk about chickens & car tires - it's all just 'bla bla bla' 2 fill up the 'info-tainment' video. Accuracy? Facts? Who cares! HAHAHA

As we can C here this guitar has tuners, & knobs. Let's move on - here R some strings (drool drool)

[Brozotheclown]

sexy garage toanz

[hungerstriker27]

how could you make a gibson 1062 sg and a junior with p90´s sound so awful? I swear I can make a better tone with abullet strat squier and my fender frontman of 15 w

[vyrus24]

Are you kidding me!??! what a horrible sound

[jonathanroosevelt]

Carl is probably with his hands on his ears while dave is playing

[cms6795]

I just bought a 1965 junior last weekend.

[lralbrecht]

tone is fine... the player just isn't very confident with it...

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

quit bitchiing everybody, this is a beautiful ugly tone, (in a good way)

[muscletruckdude]

worst tone ive ever heard

[EuphorbusBTB]

wow, it sound like shit

[Dudecaster]

Daves tone is not awful...

IMO...so don't flame me please

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@Dudecaster

It's sounds kinda awful, becaus of the fuzz he uses,

but in the case of a late 60's fuzzy rock sound, the more awful it gets, the better it is;)

[bluecrow00]

that vibrato technic was amazing, can you do that on a modern sg?

[willieturnip]

What the fuck is dave doing?

[fattiesg61]

hes playing an sg

[ibaghot]

i want one like the green one but its kind high priced

[fattienoon]

what is dave playing at 4:10

[TheMadMusicMan]

Dave's tone is awful...

[aec0691]

how can people put thumbs down for saying daves tone is horrible... omg listen to it freakin feaces sounding

[TheMadMusicMan]

Because these queer bags get affended when people tell the truth. What a shame...

[Wooodstock69]

Could you tell me some more about the amps you use?

love and peace

[Telestrat216]

The second one is atrocious. First is stunningly beautiful though. Is the trem on the angus young signature sg a sideways moving one like he said for the first one in this video?

[SoloEpi]

No, its a Lyre Trem

[guitarmaniac43]

it is like a strat trem it moves down not side to side

[FooFamilyFilmz]

i wish they still made sg specials like that

[fattiesg61]

i know there relly butiful to say the least

[scottiewazhere9407]

ive got a 66 sg special with the wiggle stick. its amazing.

[Timkennedy11591]

their series on fender guitars and amplifiers I thought was excellent. This gibson one... eehh not so much. Factually not entirely there "I think they had done away with the paf's by now" no in fact they kept making humbuckers and eventually got that patent they applied for. A little more research (really easy research if you ask me) and it would have been much better. They seemed to have received a nice broad collection... if only the facts were straight and not guesses...

[richardwu0609]

why Dave play like shit?

i think Carl is way better than him

[Vilverin1]

when someone shreds on the clean channel, it sounds like shit.

the clean channel is made for melodic riffs

[wagatabuchunga1]

eric johnson can rip on a clean channel and still have it sound amazing

[StaySafeTonight]

The guy on the left has awful tone. Bleh.

[Peacemaker1085]

Yeah, i noticed that. :/

[hodowncorexxx]

The SG special is such an amazing guitar!!!

[mathiaslz4]

what pedal is he using?

[TheGamingGuitarist]

I wish Gibson still made the SG Junior.

[andrewt248]

I think they would be surprised how much bread they would make if they reissued it!

[TheGamingGuitarist]

Let's start a petition to bring it back. But how can a 14 year old boy like me start an online petition?

[miket163]

@TheGamingGuitarist Ya me too, w/ vibrato a nd Pelham blue and white as an option.

[gdrugg2006]

@TheGamingGuitarist

They do! They just started making them again! Search for it on Musician's Friend!

[Sonilink]

I love my sg junior ^^

[TheVictimsX]

lol p90's? honestly.

[LoZiMmMm]

mike durnt!!!! xD

[XOwrestleXO]

WERE DID U GET THE MELODY MAKER SG

[menga111]

i really like sg's

[BobCronley]

Vibratos that go out of tune!?!? I like the stock strat vibrato. I set it up in what I call the trem-lock position, by tightening the springs until it will only dive. This way, the vibrato returns to a natural stop, helping it stay in tune. Those P-90 pickups sound pretty good. Does anyone make a hum-canceling version of them?

[sgdan143]

gibson mini humbuckers sound like a p-90's and dont hum (great pickups)

[BobCronley]

Actually, I found that Bill Lawrence makes some stacked hum canceling P-90s.

[RayZR]

Seems a bit limiting. I'd rather just find a set of good locking tuners and install them on a guitar if it's vibrato constantly pulled the strings out of tune.

[BobCronley]

I do all my pulls with my fingers. Locking tuners don't do anything if your vibrato doesn't return to the same place every time. A guy who was in my band hand the Floyd Rose set up, and was constantly retuning his guitar, while mine stayed in tune. Stuart McDonald has some devices that are supposed to help the vibrato return to the same place every time, but I haven't tried them.

[RayZR]

Well clearly I've never actually used locking tuners. Give me a break. Haha.

My guitar does have the Gibson Maestro Vibrola. Does that make a difference. To be honest though, I don't really use it much. I bend strings with my fingers, too. Reaching for the vibrato feels like too much effort at times. Alternatively, I pull on the neck. Not great for the guitar, I'm sure, but I don't do it all that often and it does work pretty well.

[BobCronley]

Is the Maestro the one that is like a solid metal spring, instead of a Bigsby copy? I almost bought a guitar with that vibrato, and liked the vibrato.  But I probably would have ended up drilling and tapping a hole for a stop screw to trem-lock it.

[RayZR]

It's the vibrato you find on a Gibson Firebird VII. It's basically a big bent sheet of metal anchored to the guitar.

[BobCronley]

Yep, that's the one. I almost bought a melody maker with a P-90 pickup and that vibrato, but I found out I was getting laied off, and had to pass on it.

[RayZR]

Eh. Don't bother with the vibrato. I thought it was reasonably stable and didn't pull out of tune so much, but my Firebird VII refuses to stay in tune longer than a single song. It absolutely kills me because the guitar sounds and looks amazing.

Although I'm hoping it might just be the tuners so I could find some locking tuners when I have the time.

[BobCronley]

I don't bend the neck, but I do use a technique I call the velocity vibrato. I strike a chord, then shake the neck up and down, causing a vibrato. I believe that what happens it the the strings keep changing direction, and that the constant changes in inertia casue the strings to bend or bow, causing the vibrato. A lot of people tell me it looks cool when I do it, too.
