Vintage 1968 Gibson SG Standard (Angus Young Model)

Here's an in-hand demo of a '68 Gibson SG Standard....sorry that my left hand isn't shown. The guitar is all stock. Lyre Vibrato and two humbuckers. It's a real aggressive easy playing rock machine.

Lovely looking and sounding guitar. Your playings none too sloppy either. Very Nice. How long have you been playing if I can be nosey?

@outofslumber , since I was eight years old. I got my first electric the next year and started a band in the summer after 4th grade. Still doing it...got a gig tonight!

The amp is a '63 Fender Bassman; blonde, 2x12". I've got a hot plate bringing the volume way down.

thanks for replying right now.Your lucky.I had original saddles like that but they were taken from me from someone who was just suposed to fix the input jack(not the wiring the wood.

I got more but its not the same.Thats your guitar?or its just a guitar your selling?

[goflemingo]

It's a guitar I owned, but sold in October to a local player. I bought a '65 SG Standard to replace it and the '65 SG Special I also sold.

thats cool thanks.Did that 68 have a narrower neck than the 65?That was the last question.Thanks alot

[goflemingo]

yes, the guitar in the video had the 1 & 9/16th's nut width. I actually like the narrower necks for certain things. Some people hate them... The early '65 I bought does have the wider 1 & 11/16ths nut width and the fabulous slim neck profile that Gibson had from '63, '64 and early '65.

@skateprocoop depends , mint contion 68' or earlyers can cost up to 9 grams.....

[NathanSGBrazil]

hn.... 63' , 64' , 65' and ealry 66' , has the widest necks...61' , 62' , 66', 67' , 68' , and early 69' has the slim taper neck....and Angus Young's first SG is a 70/71' , not a 68' , I know in Gibson's website it's said his is a 68' , but isn't , pictures don't lie , and even himself already told in a interview , it's a 70/71' SG

One tip: Try to reach out all your fingers, that you don't need for holding the pick. (you can do better palmmutes )
