Mike Oldfield's sound of his vintage guitar (Gibson SG Junior '62)

Fotos of the guiar that Mike mainly used in 70's and 80's. That video is a kind of tribute for this guitar, for it's sound. Music during video was recorded by me on Ibanez RG 320 FM (made in 90's). I created this sound using my BOSS GT-8 - my brand new equipment (it's really good). Sound of guitar is very very close to Mike's. I think that no one can do this sound better becouse only Mike can create something.... something so beutiful that I can cry! :) It wasn't so easy to make it. I hope you like my video.
We miss Mike with this guitar - it's really hard to me to stop being angry to Mike that he sold it- in fact it's very awful up today.

Track list:
1. Ommadawn pt.1 Intro solo
2. Solo from In Dulci Jubilio (sorry- sound should be more sharp, more treble)

@MichaelKatzengreis74 I'm glad you like it !!! The settings I wrote in the description of a video. when there is no info before number it means that it is next setting. e.g GAIN 100, 50 (so 50 is bass becouse it's next)

use haedphones for better sound. sorry for some noises that appear when i play high notes - it was caused by sharing it on youtube :<

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying GT 8 or 10. Is the setting a lot different on GT 10? I've read it's better in almost every way as far as sound and conectivity goes, but I am not sure about the design without knobs. :P

im still a 1st year begginner and tomorrow im beginning the 2nd year.....by the time ill be worth a gibson sg they will have changed the standard's design like a thousand times (not to mention how rare these are gonna be.......) :-(

[nunchuckerz]

whats the best equivelent sg to buy that is like mikes

[MichaelKatzengreis74]

Great! Well, I´m going to buy the GT-10, because it should be even better then the fantastic GT-8. So I will try to reach the Oldfield sound as good as your sound!!?? :-)

I can't understand how Mike Oldfield could create such a unique sound with his SG, and then go and sell it....
