All user reviews of 5/5 for the Gibson SG Standard

The Gibson SG guitar is a fun guitar in a very unique but comfortable looking guitar. It takes a lot of influence from the Gibson Les Paul guitars and in fact it had the Les Paul name on the trust Rod pick up cover when it was first introduced. This is a nice guitar if you want to do a lot of lead soloing on because compared to the Gibson Les Paul which is has the body in position where it's much more difficult to reach the higher frets. This guitar allows you to reach the higher frets more easily because of the shape of the contour neck heel. This guitar comes with two humbucker pickups, two volume control knobs, and two tone control knobs. It's pretty versatile guitar and a great mahogany wood body and neck. It's a little thinner tone that the Gibson Les Paul basically because of the thinner body style.

UTILIZATION


The features are pretty minimal on this guitar. They don't have pull switches or any coil tapping push pull knobs of any kind. This is a straight up rockers guitar and a pretty basic set up as you would imagine a Gibson guitar being.

The tone of these guitars are excellent for hard rock and metal playing. They have a great fine warm tone that is very reminiscent of its predecessor the Gibson Les Paul. The tone is a little bit thinner but more focused in my opinion. It's much easier to get a good clean tone from his guitar than being from a Gibson Les Paul.

SOUNDS


I love the way this guitar sounds with a good hard rock high gain amplifier such as a Marshall amplifier, Mesa boogie amplifier, or any other amplifier they can get in the high gain saturation regions. It will take a good load of saturation very easily and be able to hear each note pretty crisp and clear because of the fine-tuning that this guitar has. Overall this is an amazing guitar an excellent look and feel.

OVERALL OPINION


I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a good players guitar that can be used for recording and even large amounts of gigging. This is a great guitar for someone who needs a solid instrument for a bedroom player as well. They are readily available in the used section and classifieds. And you can also find them new online or in most guitar retailers. I love the feel of these guitars and for the price you can find them at it is a no brainer for me.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice of course (not the handle of an ibanez versatile) and SG shape allows easy access to the treble.
Balanced using a leather strap that joins some

I would put 9 / 10 because it requires a regular réaccordage but nothing too serious

SOUNDS

Very good guitar, versatile, with a predisposition for the distortion, but with a clear sound quite cristallin.Je used with a Tech 21 trademark 300 and 2 2x12 ENGLvh pro box and it's the bomb! Reputation precedes Ca its fair value.

Ps: the game of rope that you make changes completely sonorité.Pour my part, I put on Elixir Nanoweb Light .010 - .046 (standard) is Spread the Feeling!

OVERALL OPINION

Very happy with this guitar combines a good achat.Très devastating look and sound of the convaincante.le value for money is probably not the best but the market is not prohibitive for a product such as a . I remake this choice without hesitation she deserves

Everything has been said before ...

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics of this scraper is great.
I had an SG Special before. The neck is quite different to the standard. Much better and faster. The binding is not as aesthetic virtues.
The guitar is well balanced and light, which is great for concerts and long Repeat '.
Short but good!

SOUNDS

The first time I plugged it into a JCM 2000 (I have more). The sound was already out of this world. Lots of mids and singing with a fat side though rock'n'roll.
Now I head a branch of modern vintage, Marshall always so. This type of amp you really feel his touch a legend!
Short as of praise for this guitar which is so far the best on which I played! After it has some Defaux like any gibson (few problems keeping an agreement from time to time, but too fragile veneer forgive him ... a life that scratches).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a year. I have a voodoo SG and I also had two other SG front (fan of SG? To me?) And I must say that the standard is still my favorite! (Ok, I have not tried the reissue or the Supreme ...).

I would definitely do it again this election! Amazing!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months and I met while trs estparfait on this guitar: D
I do not essyer MODEL bcp before this one because my eyes jump!
The value for money is more qu'exellent
I refer this choice without hsiter

For specifications, see below <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

UTILIZATION

I own this beauty for 8months now and I must say that the handle ... is the best I've ever hit! For ergonomics, weight is superb, you can play for hours without hurting the back unlike the big good Les Paul and shape of the guitar's just evil! To Access in acute there's no simpler y'as just a slip of the handle on the highway! Do you get a good sound? YES! sign is purely Gibson!

SOUNDS

I mostly Hard Rock and, while remaining open to the clear, it's heaven on a rope! In the light is beautiful but it's not the first use of the Gibson I think ... In his bold, it unveils the SG and is replaced by a tronssoneuse that cuts its edge with his all! I play with a VOX AD 30 VT, '80s, MAX Gain, Volume MAX, acute - Medium - Low volume 6 with a chorus + Compression ... it's Angus You ...
I love it all sounds are just perfect for me ... <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months, I immediately flash on, I have not much experience but I would do the same choice without any hesitation, I love the shape! but I am very very very very very atention! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Gibson played around a lot with the Stokes France <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt="" /> Then once you found a oon the wants at any price! (It was the last store in Paris!)

Everything said above adj t <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, surprising, like me, you played for several months on a guitar Robin States, 24 cases type Super Start style highway, but not Gnant.
After a few minutes into the game it feels as if it had always been in the palm of the hand.
Access in acute trs is good, attention both to the type of strap used because it can interfere Access in dernires frets

Due to the position of the fastener kouroi, the guitar tends to from the front, but rest assured, nothing fatal.
It is trslgre <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

SOUNDS

I play blues rock and metal, this guitar dchire and frankly, it is perfectly fits all the styles, as well as its look!

I had several Gibson Les Paul Std and a 60 Classic and a Gibson Explorer white (button in bne), and this is the guitar that is best for me.
Attention, I'm not saying this is the best, most beautiful, ... it's just that despite all models of Gibson that I had was the one that suits me the most.

The sounds are full, warm and round on the micro serious, ideal for greasy blues, and when you push the gain on the amp, the sweep spring with impressive fluidity.

The microphone provides sharp cutting edge while remaining prcis trs; prcis for a non-typical micro not a EMG81 either! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

OVERALL OPINION

I learned three days ago, but I really think you have found the guitar for me, and jou have APRS possd of Les Paul, an Explorer, an LTD EC500, an ESP M-2 , an Ibanez JS1000, an Ibanez APEX-2, ...

The report qualitprix, I do not would judge, I bought a brand and a spirit, probably an LTD viper up in Seymour Duncan would have a better ratio Q / P, but I would not have 'the mind ', some say it's silly, but others will understand me I am sr. <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

The Les Paul RVer are many, and I understand, but do not spit on the SG, if like me, you do not hand in glove, and you attack a lot Most recent internship frets, try.

Gibson SG Standard Heritage Cherry, manufactured in the United States, body and mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, set neck with 22 frets rpofil relatively thick, type 59 ', nitrocellulose lacquer, Tune O Matic and tailpiece stop bar, Gibson 490R and 498T pickups, selector 3 positions, one volume and one tone for each pickup, mechanical manual lubrication Kluson type.
Very nice finish, bindings "over the frets" very clean, nickel inlays, beautiful wood ... that you ask for?

UTILIZATION

The handle, the "Profile 59" is impressive (it will surprise fans of Ibanez and other razor blades), but very ergonomic, very comfortable and fast. The access to the latest box is incredibly easy, which is typical of the SG. Only very slight downside: because of nitrocellulose varnish, the neck is very sticky and does not slip at all when the guitar is new. It will take about twenty hours before the inconvenience eventually disappear. After that, it's all good!
the guitar is light, excellent ergonomics, and the famous tendency to pitch down typical of SG is discreet and not a problem.
Finally a guitar very easy to handle.
One senses from the outset that we have the good stuff in his hands. You really feel the guitar vibrate, and it sounds well without plugging.

SOUNDS

Its level is also typical.
The 490R sounds round, creamy and warm wishes. A treat that both clean crunch or saturated. A real treat for the blues muy caliente, especially as the sustain is really so.
The 498T is both punchy and incisive. Very cantankerous, this microphone. It tends to be a bit garish in acute lees, which is not a problem since the tone knob has done its job: it is enough to down a bit to make adjustments.
Depending on the settings of amps, we can do almost anything, except the sounds that are crystal clear to forget right away. Otherwise, we may feel of jazz, blues, reggae, rock, hard rock, metal and even work, no problem. However, this guitar still requires the grain, his trademark, regardless of the style of music covered. She has a big character and that's why we love ...
On mine, the 498T, however, was remlacé by Angus Young Signature, which corresponded more to my musical register, and that blends well with the 490R.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 5 years.
I tried several other models (61 Reissue, SG Special, Tokai ...) but it is on this that I chose.
I wanted an SG that sounds like an SG, and I have used.
An excellent guitar that perfectly matches what I wanted, and I do not separate myself.
The quality / price is very decent and even very good, provided that you choose the guitar as there are differences from one model to another. Mine, for example, a body in one piece mahogany with a perfect fit and aesthetically impeccable, while others have a two-part body with a mahogany less well off and less flattering (well, we do not talk wood crate either, eh!)
In short, I would do the same choice without hesitation.

The Gibson SG is a fantastic rock 'n roll guitar. Is one of the most iconic guitar is a Gibson or any other guitar manufacture for that matter has ever constructed. As a classic look with the two cutaways on the top and bottom of the body. It has a longer scaled length which allows even more versatility than a Gibson Les Paul. Overall this is a great sounding and playing guitar. You can get a lot of miles out of the versatility of this guitar much more than I find with a Gibson Les Paul.

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is a fantastic tone. It's a little bit thinner than what a Les Paul tone can sound like, but it has its own thing going on. I would say that this is a sick tone similar to Les Paul but yet more focused and defined. Is this solid sounding mahogany tone with its mahogany wood body in mahogany neck. What I really like about this guitar over the Gibson Les Paul is the ability to reach the higher registered frets. This allows a lot more versatility when soloing and getting up there and the higher octaves.

This guitar sounds great in any guitar amp setting. I especially like it any Marshall amplifier or a Mesa boogie amplifier. It also cleans up a little bit better than a Gibson Les Paul in my opinion which is a little bit better versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these guitars come in right around $1200 which is not a bad price for this outstanding guitar. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to take the tone of mahogany body and wants to have more versatility than a standard Gibson Les Paul. It's a great tone is a great look and it's a classic rock 'n roll guitar. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good rock 'n roll players guitar.

The Gibson SG guitar is a classic looking guitar features to pointed horns on the top of the body. It's easier the identified and recognizable guitar that takes a lot of influence from the Gibson Les Paul but has his own personal thing going. It has a great tone to great hard rock voicing for high gain distortion and over driven sounds. It is a rock 'n roll guitar machine that will serve its user well night tonight getting into touring.

This is a throw back to the old Gibson Sg's from the 60's. It has basically everything you would expect from a guitar that was made back then. It has a great feel and a unique feel from all other Gibson guitars

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is very rich ,fat, and warm. You can get a lot of sustaining in town from these pickups and this body of mahogany wood and mahogany neck with Rosewood support. The body would lend themselves to a deep rich fat tone against the user an ample amount of driving rhythm and lead guitar talents. It sounds a lot like a Gibson Les Paul but only a little bit thinner and overall voicing. This is duty because of the center body style in law elongated neck frets. This is a classic looking guitar and a classic sounding guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend this guitar to any one is looking for a great tone machine and great guitar that will last him or her a lot of gigging and band use. This is also a great guitar for someone who wants to have a good solid sunny guitar for their home use or office use. At new you can get these guitars for ride around $1200. That's a pretty good price for Gibson last known SG guitar. I would recommend this to someone to love the tap sounds of classic rock guitar and need something that will work with modern new music is well. It's a great price and great sound for not a whole lot of money.

In the early 60s Gibson was looking to lower production costs of the Les Paul. To do this they redesigned it to have a flat top and double cutaways. What we know now as the SG was introduced as the new Les Paul in 1961. Later on the real Les Paul was re-introduced and the new guitar was renamed the SG. The standard SG of today is exactly that, the standard SG. The guitar features the classic dual cutaway SG body with a 22 fret neck. It features dual humbucking pickups selected with a 3 way toggle switch and two tone and two volume knobs.

UTILIZATION

The SG was designed in such a way to give better fret access than the earlier Les Paul. The neck is not mounted as deep into the body as is with the Les Paul. This design gives it a few problems. The neck joint on SG models is very weak compared to Les Pauls or even bolt on guitars. This weak neck joint makes some SG's prone to going out of tune. With the neck mounted so far out on the body and the body being so thin and light, SG's are prone to neck dive. When playing an SG standing up you may find yourself holding up the neck due to this awkward balance between the neck and the body.

SOUNDS

With their thinner flatter bodies SG's tend to have a tone slightly thinner than that of a Les Paul. Some people say it sounds more like a Gibson Flying V than a Les Paul. The smaller body also helps make the tone different than that of a Les Paul. Gibson pickups are mainly designed for classic rock. These pickups tend to offer a medium output. If you are looking to play heavier music you may want to replace the pickups with aftermarket higher output models.

OVERALL OPINION

The people who play SG's swear by them. Famous artists that play SG's usually only play SG's. Some of these artists include Derek Trucks, Tony Iommi and Frank Zappa. If you are looking to buy an SG I recommend trying one out first. Check the fretwork and the tuning stability if you can. Other than that an SG is as solid as any other Gibson guitar.

This is the same as caractristiques Previous reviews, know guitarefabriqueaux USA, round neck, 22 frets, humbuckers, 2 volume and 2 tone

UTILIZATION

I've had two hours, and as a regular on the Fender Sleeve, the grip is not the same now. But we made it very quickly. The handle fits perfectly round the apple of your hand, it is smooth and pleasant.

Trslgre guitar, and super good balance! One can easily play without standing back pain (one begins quickly for a short Angus)

SG said that, "said ACCS dream of the treble. we can not do better is a child's play.

Lesquatrepotards (2 volumes and 2 tone) and the switch allows us to have a wide choice of sound.

SOUNDS

I play rock, hard rock, blues rock, and although this guitar is perfect for me!

Lovers will be delighted sounds great, and fans of AC / DC of course!

must have the recess AIMPLAS that goes with it. Marriage gibson SG - Marshall wonders.

The sound is a bit sharper than on a Les Paul but with a few simple rglages on the amp and knobs on the guitar, you get a sound very fat and warm.

in clean, nothing to say except that it is a little more aggressive than on a strato example.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over 2 hours now.
I tried the Les Paul, I had a stratovolcano, and although the SG is the best for me gibsons.

the +:

weight, look, maneuverability comfort games, sound

the -:

y 'has not really, but it looks quite fragile (can be a feeling this is because it is so fine!)

Quality price ratio: I got it new for 1000. Internet is the price (while in store it's 1500!). sr well hurt out such a sum of money, but I think it was worth it.

Xperience with, I would do this without hesitating choice.

In short, just happiness.

Good guitar!

All specifications have been given before.

For the price, I think we are much better served elsewhere (eg as Fender) was really a luxury box, and the violin is generally close to perfection (an aesthetic point of view at least ).

For that, I put 9, there is no perfect guitar!

UTILIZATION

For the handle, it takes a little getting used to, I had a Fender Stratocaster U.S. before, and it's a good week for the chopper thing, but once mastered it's great!

Access to the treble can not be simpler, thanks to the double notch.

Ergonomics is good, it is light enough (more than a stratocaster, sorry look again!), And the head does not lean when we play (unlike most Epiphone models I've tested).

The two microphones and settings allow the production of sounds quite different, but equally good!

This time though, I allow a 10.

SOUNDS

I use it in Drop C set to play Post-Hardcore/Screamo and why it is perfect!
I have never seen a guitar as easily adaptable to all! Even for bluesy sounds it is in place, like the hardrock, funk it may be (eg, gossip), one can even draw some jazzy sounds.

It was a pretty bold and aggressive sound on the bridge pickup (my favorite), heaviest on the neck pickup.

I play on a Hot Rod Deluxe, mainly with a Big Muff, a Black Finger (tube compressor), and other effects that I use more anecdotal, and this, his sound hard!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a month now.

I was looking for a versatile guitar, with which I can do some pretty hefty, but that can be recycled into a guitar to do anything if my tastes changed, I tried the Washburn Pro 166 (I think), the SG Special, but does no comparison.

The feature I like most? The fact that when you open the box (apart from the smell very nice wood) we have a guitar madness inside! Seriously, I like everything, except for one thing, the varnish will be fragile read the manual, so be careful: do not put it directly on the foot, to be careful to blows belt, but hey, compared to all is a detail.

The value for money is great, I got it for 1200 € with a setting luthier (Drop C), a Box of good quality, and what stores offer the basic Straplock, leather strap ...
I do it again without hesitation that choice, frankly, is a guitar that deserves its reputation.

I will spend the features that everyone should know I think it's a cherry SG standard.

after having inspected in every sense I have not seen any manufacturing defect, the body is more in a single game.

UTILIZATION

I was already accustomed to handle which is mm on my ringtone maker 2010, I do not know of another round because this is my first electric guitar.

The access to the treble is much more comfortable than the les paul.


SOUNDS

I made not to play the ACDC, I do it no more fan of this group .. on the other hand I'm a fan of mega doors and it is rather the sound I was looking for .. I hesitated between lgtps special glossy and standard (the classic with the P90 being found I gave up) and I'm not at all disappointed.

I have no amp, I use AmpliTube fender on my macbook pro and I am delighted with the pallet of sound that I have.

OVERALL OPINION

I mm remake the choice without hesitation

Well, I have an SG standard 80s. Made in USA ..

UTILIZATION

etc. The shape I love!
The handle has been sanded and refinished. The game is more fluid, I'm used to that style sleeves "Start". The sound is a killer for the big rock between crunch and saturated. By clean, I like the micro serious, not too much treble, but it is a matter of taste.

SOUNDS

With the Marshall, it's great.

OVERALL OPINION

Sure, it's less versatile than a Start, but his character is unique. A must have if you love rock riffs!

Bon ben is a Gibson SG Standard Gibson made since 1961 as ...
It is Made in USA (Nashville, Tennessee) and has a look that has been dropped!

Comes in case Gibson

UTILIZATION

The handle is a comfort and a perfect profile, round and fairly large compared to a stratum or a reissue SG 61 (after it's not a stick shreed), I have a strat mexico which also has a superb round, the two are different but the best of the best.
The instrument is a remarkable lightness, yet the violin and quality of wood used are excellent, we see that this is an American guitar and not made in bangladesh-les-Bains ...
The shape of the body, well it's an SG, as well comfortable standing than sitting, the guitar is well balanced, access to acute magistal is (still better than a strat), one reaches the last box without any problems.
After the look and feel of violin making have their weight in gold, but you still have to see what gives its trendy =)

SOUNDS

So for now we say is matter of taste, you 60's rock like a little psychedelic rock or hard rock 70's 80's like Led Zepp very fat 'or later AC / DC or even quieter as Lynyrd Skynyrd? Ben is the guitar you need, the clean sound has often tend cruncher, it can sometimes be awkward to play jazz or arpeggios well cast, but hey SG is certainly still versatile enough (less than Start or a Les Paul and we agree) but it has its records. Sounds clear to the stairway to heaven, warm and precise still be very affordable, although I find his position clear in acute not super terrible, but it can have its charm.
In c the crunch as its gets really interresting, the microphones will attract serious blues hot sumer see if we push a fat little more (even if the blues slamming a stratum has its charm too). In micro acute ben sa potato, fat and sharp as a SG worthy of the name (c is the only difference with the noise level of the Special Faded 490T), and once you are in my gain, Sustain is terrible and the riffs and solos to the AC / DC and Black Sabbath (there may not always bridge pickup) will be fatal!
After jazz lover (she can still pass), soul, heavy metal and funk mostly try another model, the SG will not be made too for his (its hard to go well for the Iron Maiden, Metalica to but limits).
I only takes me 9 because I like the clicking sound as funky, but its a Start I (it is rather because his level, for me, perfection does not exist, but in the field of the SG, one would approach).


OVERALL OPINION

I use now for 3 days, I love ...
Have a nice alternative to my strat (which is always good to have different type of guitar), or rather my strat become a good alternative to my Gibson =)
I tried quite a few models before as the Epiphone G400 (not bad at all for the price, but lacks personality compared to a Gibson), the Gibson SG Raw Power (not like too slammed, less fat ) and the Special Faded has my eyes is the best value in the range, the sound is almost as good as an SG Standard, but the finish also shows the price difference, after everyone's tastes =)
The value for money, I will not run, we will say that it is its price (1100-1200 € in nine store is pretty expensive) but it has high-end made in USA, so I'll say which has for its money ...
I like everything about this guitar, in the register for which it is done well on ...
With the decline (3 days bof what level decline), I REFERRED that choice without hesitation, but well try the instrument and inspect the property store before buying, to see if it suits you it does not fall on a bad model (rather rare for Gibson in this price range, but it exists). A marvel
