i'm about to buy this guitar , but i have heard that the neck are pretty wide and hard to play on , is that true? nice playing btw and sorry for my bad english
Bec because i have a start which neck is not wide, more of a C shape to me, but my acoustic has a U shape, and ibanez more to the Flat U, which is it then ?
Because i also wanna buy an SG, tho i saw a problem in the neck like the side are not equal in width some where around 5-9 fret...
I like the looks of a guitar with nickel pup covers, but they do sound different. I find them to cut a bit of the highs and mid highs. If your guitar/pickups have too much of them, try them you might like the change
Couple of questions. If the SG Standard is so popular why has Gibson reduce the only colors you can get is Iommi or Angus? Can anyone fill me in on the history of SG?
Colors? What? There angus and iommi special editions, not colors... Angus played both black and red sg's. You can SG's in natural wood colors, you can get a rainbow colored SG called the zoot suit, there are more than two colors :P
Also, the SG was originally to replace the Les Paul. SG stands for solid guitar- and it was meant to be a lighter les paul. In fact, most early SG's were just called SG Les Pauls.
I have a SG Standard. Put Dimarzio's Norton(Bridge) and Paf 36th anniversary Neck in the.....well neck. Agressive, but not over the top loud. I get tone, sweet harmonics. Pretty much everything needed for home and club.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not worth it. High end Gibsons are the only worthwhile ones. I have a brand new LP custom, and it's great, but I played a studio, and I thought it was an epiphone.
Awesome tone and great playing too! Dude, is this amp good with external pedals like the Boss DS-1 and the Boss ME-70 (which i currently own and do not sound good through a solid state amp)?? Please do tell me. Thanks. :)
It has many different sounds and it can sound good with many different pedals. But all you really need with this amp, imho, is a good booster, nothing more.
Does that mean that my DS-1 will not sound good through this either? And the amps i have are Brand X 25R and Marshall MG10CD which aren't as good as this Vox. So please tell me whether it will sound good through this.
I'm sure you'll find a channel on the Vox that will sound good with your DS1. But why don't you grab your guitar and your ds1 and go to your local store and try one? What sounds good to me might not to you.
Oh. Thanks a ton dude! I will. But i have to research before going because i live in Chandigarh (in India) and we don't get this stuff here so I have to go to Delhi (the Capital city, which is 250 km from here) to get my stuff. Everything is available there! Thanks anyway! :D
holy cow, not sure if its the dimarzio or the maxon, but throughout this video, I hear nothing but great chunky growly tone, good lord!!! how much is this pedal, I have heard nothing but great things
Now what is the difference other then pick ups between this and the standard? I know (at guitar center) the standard is somewhere around 1200 bucks and the faded is about 800...Is it really THAT big of a difference and again, is it simply the pick ups that are different? Finish seens almost identical to the standard.
-Satin poly finish (not the same as on faded at all)
-Hard Case included
-Trapezoid inlays
-Neck binding
-498T bridge pickup (vs 490T on special).
These are imho enough differences to justify the extra 400$ the standard asks. It's not about being a better or not guitar, these are some features you either care having on your guitar or you don't. They basically sound the same, I have owned both in the past.
hey man, you play very good and your guitar sounds amazing I´m thinking about getting one like that for playing screamo and alternative rock but for that sound I need to know what kind of pickups are you using, are they burstbukers?
Hey man no need to apologies in your description there, you've got plenty of chops! TONS more than a lot of people doing guitar stuff on here, so don't come down on yourself so hard, you're good.
Depends. If you play with high gain sounds you might experience some microphonic problems. In this case you'll have to solder the cover to the pickup base. If you play with clean or medium gain sounds thought you don't even have to do that. Just place the cover on top and you're set.
Metal pickup covers do tend to slightly alter the attack of pickups, so if you have some powerful pickups, go for it.
If it's an Epi faded SG, chances are, the pickups kinda suck.. so drop some new ones in there, IN MY OPINION. (caps so that people don't get crazy-homo on me.)
i'm pretty sure the stock pickups on the faded are also humbuckers.
and just because he changed the pickups (and also added covers to them) doesn't mean it's not a faded SG, which is sorta what it seemed like you were saying.
all SGs come with humbuckers except for a select few that come with P90's. if they have singles - theyre spec ed. this is An SG Special Faded Cherry Red, it is not a standard, standards (as stock) have Chrome Pickup Guards, and Block Fret inlays. this has dots. it does however have modded pickups. none of the specials come with chrome pickup covers as stock.
Dude GREAT GUITAR!!! (i have it too ; ) ), what humbuckers are those, for on mine there were only the factory-ones.
I will replace them with Angus Young signature on the bridge, and '57 on the neck, i already replaced the bridge for a Lyre Vibrola. and the Maxon, is that the old one ++, or the new --, or the Brown MOD ++(that i have). use a little less drive on it. (and buy a Marshall even though Vox is a little bit better, but less Rock)
I gotta ask, do you like the faded sg? Anything you don't like about it? I have the Les Paul VM, and I'm thinking of getting a faded sg and changing out the stock pickups.
They are excellent guitars for the money. Just make sure you try one yourself before you buy it. You may find out you'll have to try 10 to find a good one.
Awesome! So, I just wanted to know if your satisfied with your Maxon OD808 and how it works? Does it boost your overdrive amp channel? Do you think it would sound great on a Marshall 150X and would you recommend a noise gate pedal with that?
And oh yeah, ignore the brain donors who feel the need to find some trivial thing about your video to criticise... most of them don't even have their first video up!
Hey man, which British channel are you using? the 70's, 80's, or high gain? cos i recently bought the same amp but am having trouble finding a heavy tone on it? i really like what you have on this video. Was thinking of buying a ibanez ts808. BTW my numetal and higher gain settings make the amp squeel feedback when im not playin, does yours do this? thanks.
I don't have this amp anymore, but I was using the 80's channel. You can benefit from a tubescreamer kind of pedal, so the ts808 would be great.
The numetal channel did bring some squeeling indeed, but not much. I didn't use it a lot though, I prefered the 80s channel for my overdriven sounds. The maxon pedal offered some variations to the tone too. Good luck, it's a great amp
Settings for the amp?

the 2010 modal's Epiphone G-400 62 AND 66 SG'S
are with out any doubt a better sg than the Gibson Faded sg's.
the 2010 Epiphone 62 and 66 sg's have much better tone
and tone versatility the necks on the G-400 62 AND 66 SG'S
are also better. better feel and faster.

all SGs come with humbuckers except for a select few that come with P90's. if they have singles - theyre spec ed. this is An SG Special Faded Cherry Red, it is not a standard, standards (as stock) have Chrome Pickup Guards, and Block Fret inlays. this has dots. it does however have modded pickups. none of the specials come with chrome pickup covers as stock.

What you called 'doubles' are humbuckers with the cover taken off. It's fairly common for people to put covers onto Faded SGs to improve the looks.

woo crusader riff by saxon at the beginning, i was listening to that song just a second ago :D
I reckon I'm pretty much sold on this amp, and I'll probably have the moolah for it pretty soon (about $350 and counting)

i have a question.. dose the sg look more pink or red in real life because most of them look orange
guitarman1426 3 years ago
All sgs I've seen look red. Faded ones are not so shiny though as they are unfinished.
But they are red :)
dmihos 3 years ago
There's a faded cherry which is reddish and a faded brown which while still mahogany is reminiscent of the walnut SGs of the late 60s/early 70s.

Dude GREAT GUITAR!!! (i have it too ; ) ), what humbuckers are those, for on mine there were only the factory-ones.
I will replace them with Angus Young signature on the bridge, and '57 on the neck, i already replaced the bridge for a Lyre Vibrola. and the Maxon, is that the old one ++, or the new --, or the Brown MOD ++(that i have). use a little less drive on it. (and buy a Marshall even though Vox is a little bit better, but less Rock)
Rock on dude, cool playing!

Does Epiphone G4OO SG Reissue Model Pickups Fit On A Faded???? gibson, please answer
rawn321 3 years ago
what do you all think i should buy? Gibson Sg Faded or Epiphone les paul maybe black beauty????
motleyollinirvana 3 years ago
A les paul is a les paul and an SG is an SG. They are different guitars, you should try both and see which one is the one YOU like.
I like the way a les paul sounds but I absolutely LOVE the way an SG plays.
dmihos 3 years ago
I would personally go with the Les Paul, as SGs generally have horrible sustain when compared to LPs. But that's just me.
BusterSword777 3 years ago
hi,how low is teh action on the faded cause i m gonna buy one :)
drowzy721 3 years ago
The action is as low as your tech (or yourself) is gonna make it be. It can be really low with proper setup if that's what you like

I gotta ask, do you like the faded sg? Anything you don't like about it? I have the Les Paul VM, and I'm thinking of getting a faded sg and changing out the stock pickups.
TheMadCoder 3 years ago
They are excellent guitars for the money. Just make sure you try one yourself before you buy it. You may find out you'll have to try 10 to find a good one.
dmihos 3 years ago
That's a good idea. I'll have it set up when I get it too.

Awesome! So, I just wanted to know if your satisfied with your Maxon OD808 and how it works? Does it boost your overdrive amp channel? Do you think it would sound great on a Marshall 150X and would you recommend a noise gate pedal with that?

AngusYoungFan1994 3 years ago
Hey man, which British channel are you using? the 70's, 80's, or high gain? cos i recently bought the same amp but am having trouble finding a heavy tone on it? i really like what you have on this video. Was thinking of buying a ibanez ts808. BTW my numetal and higher gain settings make the amp squeel feedback when im not playin, does yours do this? thanks.
pilotpro25 3 years ago
I don't have this amp anymore, but I was using the 80's channel. You can benefit from a tubescreamer kind of pedal, so the ts808 would be great.
The numetal channel did bring some squeeling indeed, but not much. I didn't use it a lot though, I prefered the 80s channel for my overdriven sounds. The maxon pedal offered some variations to the tone too. Good luck, it's a great amp
