Gibson SG 61 Reissue Demo

[stratdem]

The Epiphone custom shop limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 sg. According to Vintage Gibson is 100% true to the original Gibson 1961 sg. And that Gibson themselfs could NOT have crafted this guitar any better!

[stratdem]

Ianisc00 do your self a favor and get the Epiphone limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 sg. Its 100% authenic from the body to the electronics. And its getting better reviews from many pro guitarist.

[ianisc00lio]

hey man that thing sounds awesome! i'm thinking of getting one, 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 any of these been a problem for you?

[slkmercedez]

Whta's the price of this gibson ?

[VintageDaedalus]

ugly nashville bridge! change it to an abr-style and this guitar is perfect!

[bobjackson7]

you gotta get the burst buckers. there made different. sounds amazing

[FullSolo]

@bobjackson7 im considering switching my burstbuckers for these 57's i think they would sound alot better in my les paul.

[RockinRollBand09]

Whats Are The Pick-UPs in it??

[jbarachi]

@RockinRollBand09

Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers

[bluesboydude]

[ShowBuisnessMan]

[onehorseman4]

i have an epiphone

[xyfb]

not 3 bad at all ^_^

[PureLaughProduction2]

can i get a 61 reissue with a tail peice, like angus young? someone please tell me!

[PerrJasp]

I think gibson released a version like that, hes got his own line of SG's i believe.

[thatgibsonguy0001]

he does have his own line but they can be pretty pricey. You can but a tailpiece and have someone install it for you, or you can take a risk and try to install it yourself.

[cherry8605]

guitar center has an angus young signature model that looks to be esthetically just like this guitar but with the engraved lyre vibrola on it

[TheGuitarGodfather33]

@PureLaughProduction2 yea if you have about 1 - 2000 dollars

[madanath]

is it balanced well?

[SoloEpi]

Actually they are. As you could see when he was tuning, it didnt slip. They're actually quite body heavy.

[thenextvh]

um 61 reissues are much lighter in the body than the standards

[SoloEpi]

Ya, but i ment that they are body heavy not neck heavy. I didnt mean they were heavy guitars.

[satellitelover]

I've owned both. They have different neck joints. I A/B'd the 61 reissue and the sg standard with an ebony neck and they both have about the same weight/balance distribution. The 61 reissue felt and sounded "better" to me.

[cherry8605]

oh yeah, i held my 61 RI next to an 08 standard, and I couldn't believe how much a difference there was. built the same year, but the RI sounds, feels, and plays way better

[johnstaf]

I love my '61 reissue. It's an excellent guitar.

[Eatyournose]

how much did you buy it for. i got mine a bargain for £275

[xxTIGERSHARKxx]

theres no way you got one for that cheap, its probably an epiphone or fake

[Eatyournose]

sorry i meant £2750,

[thrcman]

you call that a bargain for a guitar? I mean, I LOVE the Gibson SG, but how much more in a guitar do you get compared to the $1200 version? Ive heard both versions in the same room, and I cant really say the differences are worth the price, and its just a hype having a massively expensive guitar.

[GibsonLesPaul1319]

@thrcman not really.

[OptoOcto]

lol idiot.... look at the damn headstock, an epiphone my ass. and its not fake becouse the headstock is angled at 17 degrees moron.

[xxTIGERSHARKxx]

I was talking to the guy who said he got one for 275 euros.

[OptoOcto]

ah ok, well that changes things.. cuz this is a gibson :P soz for the misunderstanding

[xzstreet2]

What song is this? Or is it Improvised?

[jbarachi]

"Gimme three steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Search youtube and check out the original song.

[CiviC092]

dude my difference from urs is that i replaced the Humbuckers with EMGS 81/60 and a Marshall MG30FX

[jbarachi]

Sweet. EMG's rock. I have one in my other guitar.

[CiviC092]

sweet whats ur other guitar?

Im getting either a ESP truckster or ESP Kh-202 soon

[jbarachi]

91 Gibson SG Special

[CiviC092]

Nice

[puppetmaster532]

thats a huge price jump form the 202 to the truckster

[CiviC092]

well actuallly 602...

difference between the 202 and 602 is that the 602 has EMGs

and the 202 has Seymour Duncan

[puppetmaster532]

no the 202 has esp stock pickups lh-300's and is a low end guitar and the truckster is a high end the 202 cost 600 and the truckster cost 1300

[CiviC092]

lol wow where are u getting these prices from?

Truckster is $1099 (signed)

theres 2 kh202s

$469 and $2,599

[puppetmaster532]

well those are the prices in canada

[bighornpt]

Okay.How many times I have to hear this riffs.from other wananbe rok stur.(misspelled it for a reason).Create...don't imitate.

[jbarachi]

I would think a wannabe rok stur would be the one trying to "Create" and not imitate. How could you become a rock star by imitating? Man, you're brilliant, thank you for the posting.

[onehorseman4]

how much is that guitar???

NICE TONE MAN!!!

[jbarachi]

Thanks dude. About 2 grand US$

[CiviC092]

I have one too... ITS INCREDIBLE =D

[huzza18]

is this a real song or just an improvisation ?

[jbarachi]

Real song. do a youtube search for "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[VONDUTCH92508]

It's a piece from Gimmie three steps by Lynard Skinayrd..

[thebassnguitarman]

can u also play harder stuff like metal with this one??

[jbarachi]

yeah.. the humbuckers are awesome for heavy stuff too. I'll post a video next week with some metal.. been meaning to do that for a while

[mattchurchill2]

Nice playing man! Love the tone.

[jetsollegend]

i havee the standard cuz its nicer i think.

[jbarachi]

cool man. i totally respect that. my preference is the reissue cause personally i like the neck on it and the single pickguard, but i would love to have a sunburst standard. I'm all about SG's :). I own this one, and 91 SG Special. I used to have a 1976 TV yellow SG.. i think it was a 61 reissue.. but being dumb and 19 yrs old I sold it. I would kill to have that guitar back.

[jetsollegend]

nice guitar..

[kyleshut]

i dont know why people buy this reissue in my opinion the standard looks better

[jbarachi]

Std and reissue have different necks.. the reissue's neck is so much easier and more comfortable to play to me. There's bigger difference between the two besides looks. But when it comes to looks - I like the reissue better.. i just can't dig that full pickguard on the std.

[Ironman935]

ya same here i absolutely love the look of the pickgaurd on the reissue

wish i could get one soo bad!

good playing

[MURAMURA92]

SG is very very cool!!!

[hrhra]

I want that guitar. Now i have Epiphone Sg g-400. Does anyone know how much is the price of that guitar ?

[vintagegt]

Your looking at around the 1200 mark in UK pounds though shop around and you might get a better deal, I've played one and they're a great guitar. Try before you buy though! This axe will be a world away from your Epi, the neck might not suit you. Good luck, its a great guitar!

[jbarachi]

2 grand US.

[jacktharippares]

woah that's like a whole paycheck :P

[jbarachi]

lol more like interest free financing for 15 months. the next one I want is the TV Yellow VOS SG... but thats like 3.5 grand. ouch

[Obsessed117]

Expensive...around 2000$

[Chrisius94]

i've got tht guitar and it's fricken awsome!

[sheasmith160]

nice sg!!!

[MariusGuitarcovers]

the 61 reuissue its a bit more expensive than TH Gibson SG standard

[000pork000]

how did you get that fat tone out of your guitar

[jbarachi]

the guitar itself is amazing for tone. not as fat as a les paul. but the 57 classic humbuckers and the make of the wood are awesome.

[GuitarGodSG61R]

u did a good job on that

[jbarachi]

Thanks

[ZUTstrickesback]

Hey, can someone tell me the difference ,other than price, between the 61 reissue sg and the sg standard?

[jbarachi]

The biggest diff is the neck. 61 has Slim taper (thin) neck; Std has 50's rounded (fatter) neck. Neck join on the 61 is at the 22nd fret; Its on the 19th fret for the Std. The orignal SG's necks would break easy at 22nd fret.. so they moved to the 19th. The Reissue however has a reinforced joint even though its at the "weak" spot like the original. This gives your hands easier access to higher frets. 61 has 57 classic humbers; Std has Alinco. Of course the pick guard is diff.

[schrumpfl]

what kinda guitar are you using

[AiLD2]

read the title u idiot

[jbarachi]

Gibson SG 61 Reissue

[SoloEpi]

Read the desciption

[000pork000]

what amp are you using

[msgscout007]

Excellent job.

[Ajeje21]

Sorry for the stupid question .can u tell me song title? i can't mind it right now... ;)

[jbarachi]

Gimme Three Steps: by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[tcrangle963]

LOVE THIS SONG!!! great tone. flawless playing.

wots the neck like on this guitar? i play fenders. want a gibson to get a different type of tone. i was looking for one of the special sgs until i realised they have a 50s neck. some ppl like a fat neck but i dont. a fender dont get as ballsy as a gibson. i wud consider gettin one of these darkfire guitars. depends on the price. i guess i dont reali down tune much anyways

[jbarachi]

The 61 reissue SG has a 60's slim taper neck. It's very thin and VERY easy to play. The SG is much lighter in weight than a Les Paul, so it's not as "fat" sounding as a Les Paul; but I would not trade this in for an LP to save my life. Try out the SG and the Darkfire... I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Thanks for the comment.

[FDG917]

If you like a thin neck, try out a LTD (ESP) EC-50.

[jester8888888]

nice video, Skynyrd rocks! Just got a 61 reissue 3 days ago and love it so far!

[starrbucknotcoffee]

Smokin hot Gibson Sg tone. Good playing. Keep it up.

[tcrangle963]

u reali cant got wrong with an sg. one of the most iconic guitars. you have to admit, gibson and fender make the best guitars ever

[fobfan35]

well gibson

[tcrangle963]

i prefer fender. i can get some amazing tones out of them. depends wot your into. i reali like (noiseless) single coils. humbuckers sound good too. just sound different. some ppl think you cant make single coils scream as much as humbuckers. i can. its not that hard. if you play punk (like fall out boy) it doesnt matter. my fenders can do it

meh. doesnt matter. this time last year i was obsessing over dean razorbacks. so glad i didnt get one.

u seen the new gibson darkfire? looks cool

[rossington14]

good song choice. SKYNYRD ROCKS!

[jbarachi]

Thanks man. I'm working on redoing this video... The sound quality isnt very good. I want to record one w/out the metronome drum in the background.. I was checking out your page as well - You play well!
