it used to be called les paul along time ago but Les Paul didn't like it and they already had a les pauk so they took it off and left the les paul name on it, but i just still think les paul, but sg
They stopped making Les Pauls in 1959 due to the success of the strat, so they decided to release the "SG" (Solid Guitar) and continued the "Les Paul" motif on release. Due to the iconic name, and Les prototyping their first solid body guitar 10-15 years previous, It was a cheaper alternative to manufacture and it wasn't until they re-released the Les paul body shape again in the 60's that they change fit officially to "SG" and made it it's own guitar. These are now called SG-400 "Les paul."
Its supposed to be a replica of the old sg's from way back in the late 50's or early 60's when they changed the les paul model to that. Thats why it says les paul.
what u have is a les paul 2 reissue when the sg first came out it was called the les paul 2 but les paul had nothing to do with the making of the guitar and forced gibson to change the name so it iis now known as an sg.
simple solution. it's an SG shape. but it says les paul on it. it's a reissue of a custom from when the SG was still called the les paul. so you can call it whatever you want. most people call them the "les paul SG", but does it really matter? i think this video is in response to all the smartasses trying to look like experts by correcting things that really aren't important or relevant at all.
you see guys in 1961 the Gibson decided to make a different model of the Les Paul THE ONE MADE BY TED MCARTNEY so they made it a solid guitar model so Les Paul was like "take my name off that guitar but Gibson decided to keep the early models but Les Paul kinda still liked it so its the Les Paul Epiphone wanted to tag along the model of the sg version of it so its a Les Paul Coustom SO FUCK OFF

Your a fuckin' chode. This is most definitely an Epiphone SG G-400 Custom. look it up and I'm pretty sure if you typed in Epiphone SG G-400 Custom it would show this guitar.
@bandera818 Im pretty sure if you type in "Epiphone Les Paul Custom Antique Ivory" you will get this guitar aswell.
It was going to replace the current Les Paul but they decided not to and they had already made thousands of guitars so they though what the heck and just sold them.
It was renamed the SG Custom later on. Both names can apply to this guitar.
Les Paul did not infact invent this guitar..Gibson did. The 1961 model was known as the Les Paul SG Custom. Les Paul himself dislike this guitar so much that he ask Gibson to remove his name from it. And today it's commonly referred to as a SG (Solid Guitar). Les Paul created the guitar know as the log that eventually became the Les Paul guitar when Gibson decided to go into manufacturing with Les Pauls design.
In the early 60' , the LES PAUL , the real LES PAUL guitar was starting to fail .. So Gibson bought out a new design on wich they put the Les paul name , to get the guitar selling again . Les paul , the man , didn't like the new design and asked gibson to take his name of it. Nowadays , that shape is known as a SG !
Now , your guitar is a reissue of an early 60's Les paul custom , an SG shape if you prefer , but historicly that guitar is called a Les paul..
Man you shuoud know that the SG was created as an alternative for the Les Paul it first called Les Paul Custom, then Les Paul (the guitarrist who create the les paul) said that isnt the model that he create but gibson had 100 of those gutars with that name so after they give the name of SG and the first model with les paul name is called oficially SG CUSTOM not Les Paul Custom
What you're showing is a nice looking guitar but it is not up to the quality that you'd get out of a Gibson custom shop Les Paul/SG. The others are correct, Les Paul invented it and Gibson distributed it, but Les Paul decided against it and had Gibson remove the Les Paul name from it I think after 1963. Save some money, sell what you have here and get the real McCoy... You'll see the difference once you've played it.
It's a Les Paul, the only reasopn it's called an SG today is because Les Paul said he didn't want his name on that guitar but these were made in 1961 a little while before he said to take his name off of that guitar.
I Was going to leave a comment but i read the other ones. LISTEN TO THESE PPL!!!! Just cuz it says les paul doeant mean its not an sg. If u knew anything about guitars ud know that they used to be the same thing. The ppl who said its an sg r not wrong. But neither were u.
It's a Les Paul, a reissue of the the early 60's SG (which was originally marketed as a newer design of the Les Paul.) This design was introduced after the original Les Paul run failed in 1960, in 63 (I think) Les Paul himself asked Gibson to take his name off of the instrument. The instruments of the same style after 1963 are SGs.
It's called Les Paul because the first SGs were called Les Paul until 1963, this must be a reissue of the first SGs with 3 pickups, so it's an SG even if it's written Les Paul
It's Solid huh ? This must be a Solid Guitar then (I know LPs are solid too)
The old Sg's had the les paul sig. on it because at the time they didnt cal them SG's they were called lespauls. later on they started calling them Sg's but this isnt even a real gibson so i call it none of the above
@ThatcooliPodTouch the SG was meant as the continuator of the les paul but was so diffrent in sound that hey made it a separate model thats why old SG's say les paul custom on it
Mate, it's undeniably an SG. Calling it a Les Paul is like insisting a Motorcycle is actually a Push-bike. To explain - the SG was originally a new version of the Les paul, to take over. Les Paul endorsed it at first, but later decided he didn't like it and asked to have his name removed from it, which is why the Les Paul and SG are seperate models. Now, in the Custom models, they try to emulate the original as exactly as possible, which means the same truss rod cover and script on the bridge.
I own one like yours and it is a great guitar.Back in '61 Gibson discontinued the original Les Paul design due to bad sales and came up with this as the "New" Les Paul.They didnt even ask Les Paul who really hated the new model and asked for his name to be removed.Thats how the name "SG" for Solid Guitar came up.
@motomancr okay i honestly dont give a damn its has a sg body the name of the guitar is an sg but you still try to tell me its a les paul? i understand the fact the in big shiny letters it says les paul but they might of had an alternative reason for putting that on there. it doesnt even look that good anyway it looks like epiphone tried to copy the god of rocks guitar
@newbtuber333 Ehm... Les Paul was a master of Jazz and Blues, so more a kind of God of Jazz... or something. And Epiphone make great guitars, so don't diss the Epi. I would say in this case, with the G-400, swap out the pickups and you have something quite probably better than the Gibson SG Special. Anyway, your comment still stands... at least the bits I haven't denied.
while standing with the guitar hanging or while singing does it tend to fall on its neck?I have an sg prophecy and it falls on its neck if I don't hold it
What we know as an SG was the replacement for the Les Paul, because for some reason nobody was buying Les Paul's in 1959. So Gibson designed a lighter cool looking radical design and they called it the new Les Paul, but there was a problem Les Paul himself hated the guitar so he wanted his name removed from it, but they had already made a ton of those little plastic covers that say les paul so for 3 years they put them on and then stopped in 64'
sorry dude that is an SG. Those kids telling you it's an sg are right. It is a Les Paul Custom edition SG. It doesn't have the les paul shape, so the guitar isn't a les paul. It only says les paul on your guitar because he created it and they have his name on that edition.
@skatefoshizzle obviously you know nothing about guitars because this is a 1961 Epiphone reissue of the les Paul custom call it what you want but your wrong you really think some one would really go out of their way to replace the truss rod cover and stuff just to confuse people when you can go on guitar center or watch any other vid about this guitar and see that is really called the les Paul custom and not an SG!!!
It's a reissue of the Les Paul Custom that Gibson produced between 1961-1963. Gibson changed the body style while keeping the same name in order to stimulate sales. Les Paul didn't like the design, so they decided to rename it an SG (solid guitar). Today, we just call it an SG since it has a distinctly different body than a Les Paul. So in short, its an SG!
the guitar is an SG, the truss cover and that other thing are lespaul custom protecty thingo plates, but it still is a sg, considering its in the shape of an sg, if i put cover plate things on there that said fender strat , it still would be an sg... lespauls kinda look like a semi acoustic guitar without the hollow bit , just sollid wood.
it might have already been answered but it is infact an original les paul
the sg was being designed at the time they were making les pauls aswell and after they made the first 100 they took the sg to les paul but he did not like them so they changed the name to sg and i beleived they did that with epiphones aswell and les paul asked them again to change it
for all the les paul guys out there. this is a les paul.There was 3 years gibson didnt make les pauls. The new body style was called a Les paul but then they changed it later to SG for solid guitar.they then continued making the les paul original body after that. Its a les paul my friend.
Lester Paulfoss invented the Les Paul guitar, manufactured by Gibson. Gibson decided to then put the "Les Paul" name, on its new models of guitars, being the Gibson "SG"s, which stood for Solid-body Guitar, however Lester Polfuss, did not like these guitars and demanded that his name was taken off of them. The Gibson Sg model was never a Les Paul, and that name was only placed on it as a marketing tool, custom or standard. Your model SG is an Epiphone, and the farthest thing from a Les Paul.
this is a Ephione Sg G-400 Custom it is a remake of the orinial sgs that Les paul designed and had a custom model of originaly called an les paul he wasent proud with the name so he had them take his name off it soon renamed sg... im sick of people hearing the words les paul and thinking of the guitar not the player
its an sg dumbass! its says gibson les paul custom because in the early 60's i think, the 3 humbucker version belong to les paul ! but its a sg, cant you see the shape? -.-
For the most part your guitar is a Les Paul Custom; modeled after the 1961-62 (a few 63s) Le Paul Custom. If it had the sideways vibrato, it would be an even better reproduction. Sometime in 1963 Gibson dropped the Les Paul name and called it SG. I have an Epiphone G-400 in cherry with Maestro. It is more similar to the 1963 SG Standard so I call it an SG, not a Les Paul. I had a 1961 Les Paul Standard and sure as heck wish I still did. Sold it around 1971 or so.
its a sg. it has the same exact stuff on the gibson version of this guitar, the les pauls on the headstock and above the pick ups. although it is an epiphone it is a quality guitar and epiphone did not rip you off. it is a nice guitar be happy
this guitar its an sg, but les paul invented it so it's normal that in the custom shop of this brands they put his name in the head of it, like slash in his les paul's so men what your problem? LOL
that's an SG man, Les Paul created this guitar because in the original Les Paul guitar wasn't easy to reach the final frets, and he invented this, but that's an SG, with Mr.Les Paul sign in the head of it, that's just the name of the inventor
@motomancr Its an SG G400 CUSTOM, it says Les Paul Custom because back on the 1960's the SG's were going to be the Les Paul's but Les Paul didn't accept it , so its kind of like a tribute, and Im pissed off because the Les Paul Custom from Epiphone (actual les paul custom) is like 700dlls and this one is almost the same, same neck, binding, even the name, and with 3 pickups and I still can't balieve it's just 500dlls when the other Les Paul Custom is 700, why fucking epiphone overprices!!!!!!
@CatalanGuitarrist Dude Les Paul didn't invented the Sg....The Story is that when these guitars appeared Gibson put Les Paul's Name on the Head stock...Then Les Paul was something like GET MY NAME OF THOSE GUITARS!!!
@CatalanGuitarrist fuck off, :L, gibson designed it, Les Paul didn't like it, thats why they changed the name to the SG and went back to producing the origional Les Paul,
no guys its a les paul custom, back in the days les paul agreed to put his name on the sg style guitar, therefore it is a les paul its not a knock off
Dude that's a knock off u must have bought that from a black market or something. All I can say is that's not Les Paul. It's a SG 400. I would seriously go and get my money back if I were you.
if its an REALLY old guitar it is called les paul... the first sg guitars were called les pauls but les paul didnt like the guitar so they changed the name...
It's a Les Paul Custom. In 1961 Gibson came out with the SG style body. But it was known as a Les Paul. They changed the name to SG after Les Paul didn't approve of the design I think
"Which is actually why the current Les Paul Custom models have the 3 pickup configuration, and the double diamond design on the headstock."
Sorry, that's incorrect. About 95% of the current Les Paul Customs have TWO pickups. Only a few have three... including the 1957 "Black Beauty" reissue, and the Peter Frampton and Ace Frehley signature models.
same here i have explorers les pauls sg's an ibanez jem all togeather ive got atleist 40 guitars idk i lost count about 10 years ago but this is still a great guitar and it plays way different than a regular sg
they first sg they named it after les paul(the guitarist). However he did not like the design and made gibson change the name. Thus gibson used the name sg (solid guitar). This how the sg was orignially intended and thus reissuing how they were originally intended.
yeah i know. the sg is an advanced version of the the LP. gibson started to sell SGs and stopped to produce LPs but people kept asking for LPs so they build both SGs and LPs.
how ignorant are u ? gibson and ep are the same company just 2 diff names and alot of their stuff between the 2 are the same. ALSO SG and Les Paul are guitar TYPES from BOTH gibson and ep. just like a strat is NOT just fro mfender but u can have a xxxxxx strat. jeez
Yes, of course is a SG, but with Les paul neck, do u understand? Les Paul designed that nick to Les Paul guitar, but Gibson add that neck to this model, sou u have an SG, not a Les Paul... That guitar is SG Custom!!! Les Paul is just the signature of the neck and nothing more...
no! the LPC was made as a cheeper alternative to the LP, but without LP knowing. when shown the guitar, he dismissed it and requested that his name was removed from the headstock. It was re-named the sg, but like you sorta say, they continued to use the les paul custom necks (It is a completely different neck profile to the les paul so you are wrong!) because they had already made a load of them, so basically the sg is a les paul custom, and this guitar is the reissue of the original.
In 1961 this guitar WAS called a Les Paul. But Les Paul himself didn't like the new design & they changed it to "SG." The reissue guitars you see these days (like the one in this video) are called "Les Paul Custom SGs." Or "SG Custom Les Pauls," or, like you said, simply "SG Customs."
it's an SG, it used to be called a " new les paul custom" the SG is based on the les paul. The name was changed from "new les paul custom" to "SG" later on.
back in the 60's or 70's, i forget, they had the les paul, but people were going for fender, so the made the les paul as a double cutaway and a lot lighter, and it was the "new les paul", but later they called it the SG.
it is a les paul the whole thing about it and y it has a sg body okay after the success of the original les paul gibson thought sales would be even better if they modified the body shape they did this behing les pauls back a few mounths after production les paul seen the new gibson lespaul he hated it and asked gibson to rename it and then it became know as the sg
well oh course this isn't nearly the worth of a gibson modle. but like espplectrum stated they were originally gibson les paul sg customs. they were made because the les paul were increibly heavy so they came out with the les paul sg(solid guitar). they actually only make these for abot 10 years or so. my grandpa actually has an original.
hey dumbass its called a les paul custom because in the early 60's it was a les paul custom but once les paul himself found out about this guitar and how he had nothing to do with the design he complained about it so gibson renamed this guitar and named it the SG standing for Solid Guitar
cherry 8605 is almost totally correct. They may have had left over plates but Gibson originally designed the SG as a lighter version of the Les Paul. For a little while it was called the Les Paul but people didn't think it was the same guitar. So they changed the name to SG or "Solid Guitar."
The Full story is that they introduced this Doublecut Les Paul in 61' but Lester Paul (R.I.P.) said that he had nothing to do with that guitar shape so they changed the model name to SG(Solid Guitar). SO technically its a Les Paul Custom REISSUE, but the model would be an SG.
This has been flagged as spam show
in 1961, Gibson introduced the "SG" caling it a Les Paul without Les' authority. He didn't like it, and they changed the name to SG
but when this guitar camed out, it was the Les Paul Custom, refer to the Epiphone website or look in wikipedia

It's a reissue of the Les Paul Custom that Gibson produced between 1961-1963. Gibson changed the body style while keeping the same name in order to stimulate sales. Les Paul didn't like the design, so they decided to rename it an SG (solid guitar). Today, we just call it an SG since it has a distinctly different body than a Les Paul. So in short, its an SG!

the guitar is an SG, the truss cover and that other thing are lespaul custom protecty thingo plates, but it still is a sg, considering its in the shape of an sg, if i put cover plate things on there that said fender strat , it still would be an sg... lespauls kinda look like a semi acoustic guitar without the hollow bit , just sollid wood.
skatefoshizzle 1 year ago
it might have already been answered but it is infact an original les paul
the sg was being designed at the time they were making les pauls aswell and after they made the first 100 they took the sg to les paul but he did not like them so they changed the name to sg and i beleived they did that with epiphones aswell and les paul asked them again to change it

for all the les paul guys out there. this is a les paul.There was 3 years gibson didnt make les pauls. The new body style was called a Les paul but then they changed it later to SG for solid guitar.they then continued making the les paul original body after that. Its a les paul my friend.

Everyone STFU! It's a fucking Les Paul Custom because it's a 60's Les Paul Custom reissue! It may have an SG body but its technically a Les Paul.

In the early 60ies a SG was a les paul custom. later they renamed it as an SG.
The guitar is a vintage remake, so it's an les paul custom.

Lester Paulfoss invented the Les Paul guitar, manufactured by Gibson. Gibson decided to then put the "Les Paul" name, on its new models of guitars, being the Gibson "SG"s, which stood for Solid-body Guitar, however Lester Polfuss, did not like these guitars and demanded that his name was taken off of them. The Gibson Sg model was never a Les Paul, and that name was only placed on it as a marketing tool, custom or standard. Your model SG is an Epiphone, and the farthest thing from a Les Paul.

For the most part your guitar is a Les Paul Custom; modeled after the 1961-62 (a few 63s) Le Paul Custom. If it had the sideways vibrato, it would be an even better reproduction. Sometime in 1963 Gibson dropped the Les Paul name and called it SG. I have an Epiphone G-400 in cherry with Maestro. It is more similar to the 1963 SG Standard so I call it an SG, not a Les Paul. I had a 1961 Les Paul Standard and sure as heck wish I still did. Sold it around 1971 or so.

@motomancr Its an SG G400 CUSTOM, it says Les Paul Custom because back on the 1960's the SG's were going to be the Les Paul's but Les Paul didn't accept it , so its kind of like a tribute, and Im pissed off because the Les Paul Custom from Epiphone (actual les paul custom) is like 700dlls and this one is almost the same, same neck, binding, even the name, and with 3 pickups and I still can't balieve it's just 500dlls when the other Les Paul Custom is 700, why fucking epiphone overprices!!!!!!

It's a Les Paul Custom. In 1961 Gibson came out with the SG style body. But it was known as a Les Paul. They changed the name to SG after Les Paul didn't approve of the design I think

Which is actually why the current Les Paul Custom models have the 3 pickup configuration, and the double diamond design on the headstock.

"Which is actually why the current Les Paul Custom models have the 3 pickup configuration, and the double diamond design on the headstock."
Sorry, that's incorrect. About 95% of the current Les Paul Customs have TWO pickups. Only a few have three... including the 1957 "Black Beauty" reissue, and the Peter Frampton and Ace Frehley signature models.

they first sg they named it after les paul(the guitarist). However he did not like the design and made gibson change the name. Thus gibson used the name sg (solid guitar). This how the sg was orignially intended and thus reissuing how they were originally intended.

Yes, of course is a SG, but with Les paul neck, do u understand? Les Paul designed that nick to Les Paul guitar, but Gibson add that neck to this model, sou u have an SG, not a Les Paul... That guitar is SG Custom!!! Les Paul is just the signature of the neck and nothing more...
joaoarveres 2 years ago
no! the LPC was made as a cheeper alternative to the LP, but without LP knowing. when shown the guitar, he dismissed it and requested that his name was removed from the headstock. It was re-named the sg, but like you sorta say, they continued to use the les paul custom necks (It is a completely different neck profile to the les paul so you are wrong!) because they had already made a load of them, so basically the sg is a les paul custom, and this guitar is the reissue of the original.
louisalive 2 years ago
In 1961 this guitar WAS called a Les Paul. But Les Paul himself didn't like the new design & they changed it to "SG." The reissue guitars you see these days (like the one in this video) are called "Les Paul Custom SGs." Or "SG Custom Les Pauls," or, like you said, simply "SG Customs."

cherry 8605 is almost totally correct. They may have had left over plates but Gibson originally designed the SG as a lighter version of the Les Paul. For a little while it was called the Les Paul but people didn't think it was the same guitar. So they changed the name to SG or "Solid Guitar."

The Full story is that they introduced this Doublecut Les Paul in 61' but Lester Paul (R.I.P.) said that he had nothing to do with that guitar shape so they changed the model name to SG(Solid Guitar). SO technically its a Les Paul Custom REISSUE, but the model would be an SG.
