Final video showing tone difference of the Gibson SG Standard between the Gibson Sg Special Faded.This is due to many questions received regarding difference in tone between the 2 by people who want one or the other but don't know what sounds different in them.With Gibsons I find you get what you pay for.The standard is more $ but has hotter pickups and much more attractive appearance.I bought the faded first for same reason many of you are thinking of it,to get a nice playing and sounding guitar without going broke.Eventually ,when I came into more money,I got the standard.I kept the faded so now own both. Faded is not a weak or poor guitar,just the standard is nicer.I think all the questions have been answered.If you want to know prices of them,look them up,I don't sell them,just play them.I can't tell you what one to get,thats up to you.Hopefully this video helps you in deciding.I play both guitars ,switching many times between the 2 playing similiar bits to show sound difference.They do sound little different,but both sound good.For those who cannot tell which is the standard and which is the faded,the faded is the one with the dot inlays in the neck and uncovered pickups,the standard has trapazoid inlays in the neck and chrome pickup covers.Also,for comparing purposes,I am playing both of these 2 guitars in the video using the bridge pickup and the volume and tone controls set all the way up in both guitars.
faded has: 1-2 thin coats of nitro laquer no neck binding dot pearl inlays in the neck uncovered pickups 490r(neck) and 490t pickups(bridge) body is multiple pieces of mahagony(mine has at least 4 pieces)
The standard has: numerous coats of nitro laquer neck binding trapazoid pearl inlays in neck chrome covered pickups 490r(neck) and 498t pickups(bridge) body is 1 to 3 pieces of mahagony.Mine is one.
Also,this is not meant to be a contest bewtween the 2 or which is superior,but to show you the differences between the 2.I do not care which one you like,don't like,etc.I do not sell them.I do not know how much they currently cost.I do not know what mods you should do.I am simply showing the differences between these 2 guitars.
Also,I have no tolerance for some of you who feel they have nothing better to do than to trash,flame,or disrespect other you tube videos or users.I am not into games,I want no part of it.If you have no legitimate questions or positive comments,move on and take them with you. Thank you
P.S.Any comments other than English comments will be removed.I speak English.

I own the Standard. I did alot of testing on difrent Gibson models before I desided that it was the best buy, 'n here is my conclution: You'll get a good sounding guitar if you buy the faded one. It sounds really good for the money! But the Standard is really a leaug over! It looks alot better, whit the inlays and bindings, and it sounds alot better as well (to my ear). The whole "feeling" of playing is just alot better!
You sort of get what you pay for with these.Most any Gibson is going to be decent quality.Some are better than others.Depends on what you are content with.
