Is A Gibson SG "Best" For You? A Buyers Guide: NEW Custom Color Series SG, Original & Modern

I’ve wanted to get an SG for quite some time now and I’m actually glad I waited . I truly love the look , sound and feel of the ‘61 in Cardinal Red Burst . Not that the Pelham Blue Burst doesn’t call out to me as well but , between the two , I like the red better . Which is odd as I’ve never really been a fan of red anything . Some things just look good in red and an SG is one of those things . Maybe later on I can add the blue one . This will be my first Gibson and I’m hoping all the QC issues have been dealt with . Take care everyone , rock on !

I bought an sg epiphone as a first guitar and then switched to a les paul ... traded it in because i couldnt get used to the figured top ... and been an sg player ever since .

I think my favorite new color is an old color…TV Yellow!

I will definitely buy one when they make a left handed one in those new colors

Hoping theres a tv yellow epiphone version in 2024 🙏

I dont like the any of the historic correct vibrato systems , but man do they look cool .

The Standard is amazing. But it could have an ebony fingerboard. Then it would be absolutely perfect.

Silver Mist all day. Just wish it had an Ebony or Richlite fretboard option.🤘

The SG is an amazingly great instrument. Truly an unsung hero. The V is my first love and the first Gibson I got new in 1976. It was stolen. I've only discovered how amazing the SG is in the past couple of years. I picked up a black standard from the demo shop and I absolutely love it! It has 490's in it! I've realized I'm a 50's -neck profile guy. I love the rounded necks. I do have a couple of 60's profile Pauls and they are really nice, but not my preference. The SG an awesome guitar! I also own 5 Pauls and a 67 V. The SG is right up there and even better.

i want that tv yellow on a 61

Who chose these colors? So disappointing. Those burst just look cheap. Should’ve just gone for straight up Pelham blue…

The SG is such a great guitar! The sounds, the feel, the ergonomics, the look, the weight… it has nothing to envy from other models, it has it all. Rock, blues, metal, jazz… there is nothing you can't play on an SG. I own two of these beauties. A 2002 Standard HC and a 2023 61 Standard VC. Quite different guitars actually: body shapes, necks, neck joints, humbuckers, electronics […] are different. Each has a unique voice, that's for sure. Both sound amazing!

All fine and well, but when will we see the re-release of the Victory series?

Interesting that on the SG modern you mention P90 tones with push pull feature. Avoid mentioning strat tones at all costs. lol

I got lucky and found a Guitar Center exclusive from 2008 in Blue Mist with an ebony board and rounded neck profile. It's a keeper.

61 Standard in classic white, please!

Damn you Gibson! Now I will have to buy another guitar I do not need! TV yellow sg with half bat wing pick guard. I HAVE to have it

The SG needs to come with Floyd Rose.

Except for two custom-mades, the SG has been my favorite guitar ever since the 60s. Still is.

Nice Job . Love my Deep Red Solid Curly Maple Top & Back Tuned Down for Sabbath Locking Tuners Game Changer 💫

Can we get the 80s explorer in classic white please?

SG is a very versatile guitar. My Epi G-400 does a fine job😎

Teal.....looks like Green to me 💪🏻😍

Did he say PEL HAM Blue? lol

SGs are my favorite shape of guitar. Absolutely killer, about time we got some more colors.

QUESTION: Is this Rounded profile the same as you'd see on the Tribute series?

I'm very excited to get that Pelham Blue Burst!! Been waiting FOREVER for a guitar like this :D

FINALLY a classic white Standard! Unfortunately with a hardshell case it'll end up being $2049 which is insane.

I just got 61 sg. Damn woulda got that blue fade for sure if i knew it was gonna come out! Haha

SG is my favorite body shape by miles, no other body shape comes close. I adore the neck of my SG modern which is the best playing neck I've ever touched, but prefer the body thickness on my '61 reissue since the moderns are a bit thicker. I would kill for AAA quilted or flame bodies. I'm a bit tired of cherry, ebony and the other regular stand by SG colors.

My next guitar will be the P90 SG Special.😁

Whenever I play SGs with the “slim taper” neck I find they feel different than Les Paul’s with the same neck shape - are they different specs, or is it more a perception thing because the guitars sit better due to the SG being more “forward” with its bridge position?

You fired the other guy? The problem isn’t the guy reading the script it’s the guys writing it clearly

That amp sounds terrible. "Let's hear a bit more"... no, let's hear them through and Marshall and Fender style circuits please.

Dinesh and Gibson, thank you for these gear guide series! Much appreciated and love learning about the differences between models! Funny was watching the Andertons factory walk through and saw the silver mist color on the line and I was like "hold the phones", where do you get that color! Now I know, LOL!!!!

If you use a leather strap the fabled neck dive magically disappears. Go figure.

How totally different from anything Gibson have been milking for the last 70 years! Wow! Creative, innovative, new… really worth thousands a piece!

If SG’s feel weird when you pick them up just give them a bit. You get used to it and come to realize that they are truly the best guitars. I still love my Les Paul/PRS/Tele/Strat/etc but the SG is my favorite.

The SG is my favorite Gibson, and the Special my favorite SG, two P90 in an SG is a magic tone, one of the best.

The SG is by far my all time favorite guitar, it’s super comfortable, it’s light in weight, and it has that Gibson sound 🤙
I own three of them currently and love all three. None of mine are custom shop either, perhaps some day.

I like this dudes playing and style. He knows what he’s doing but makes it look very natural and with a cool vibe
And I am absolutely f€&kin Lovin that Mustard/Yellow Finish 🙌🤘

There's just something special about solid mahogany! The SG is a beast! Just ask Angus! & Dinesh! 😂👍🎸

I love my 61 SG with the maestro! I’ve wanted one since I was 12. Got it when I was 30. Really digging that TV Yellow SG!

The SG is the guitar shape that I absolutely love to use, so this video is fantastic for me 🤩
they are all beautiful guitars with an incredible sound, after having bought several Epiphone SGs which also sound very good in some models, I bought a standard black Gibson SG like the one you tried in the video.
What to say ? Overall, a wonderful guitar and valuable in every part, the electronics are truly a feather in the cap, I didn't think so. Practically now I can't sleep away from her at a distance of less than 5 metres, think a few days ago I had to do some small maintenance on her and I told my trusted luthier to do it within 24 hours otherwise I would have gone crazy 😂😂😂

No more SG Junior?

If you offer V's and Explorers in these finishes I bet you'd sell a buttload of them.... especially if you offer them with and without pickguards.

we know its coming. the custom colour for SG.All colour are epic, hard to pick one. sometimes, i wonder if LP have LITE why dont SG have a Thick version.
