All user reviews for the Gibson SG Standard

Amricaine production (of course!)

USE

Inning with a superb access to ais treble.
Legre great guitar !!!! Gibson sound without weight !! (Except for the LP Custom has a big sound)
And it sounds one branch!

SONORITS

I rather play the rock variety East ... It's perfect !!
Very versatile, changing the tonality including jazz, rock, hard, everything is good on this grat "

NOTICE GLOBAL

I for 1 year and I will keep all my life!
For fans of Gibson is Idale as First acquisition (including the fans of the Les Paul)
For me, in Gibson, only Les Paul Standard, the Custom and Explorer are at the same level as the SG Standard but they do not have the same characteristics (the others are "typs")
In short, any guitarist who has 4 or 5 guitars in his set should have this gratt '

(My ideal set-up: Gibson SG Standard, Tlcaster Fender, Gibson Les Paul Custom, Gibson Les Paul Gold Top and Gibson Explorer, all to rock)

Here we are there ... I use my Gibson SG for 11 years now. I had the opportunity, through groups, studios, concerts, oxen, to test all kinds of guitars on all kinds of configs. And frankly, the SG Standard's my opinion one of the best guitars that can exist. She accuracy of all and deep. It is lightweight and pleasant to play. She is beautiful and indmodable. It is perfect. Do not hesitate !!! ... It can not be of such a guitar ... She knows how to adapt what you need ... Magic !!! ...

Tt is said

USE

Super enjoyable to play a hell of access to acute (sg requires). the weight nickel is much less onerous than a les paul, without being mild as a feather.
plug and play, I found easy to adjust without taking the head is quickly finds its happiness level.

SONORITS

SOUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and although a say except that it is standard !!
coupled to a marshall tt lamp, guitar takes off (sg + dsl jcm 100 = ca PUAH hard potato). I had a gibson les paul studio, the sound is not better or worse, it is quite typ it is a very powerful guitar, a nice racing beast. I do not know too much vocabulary explained the sound quality, but I assure you that it has purchased eyes closed (as against very expensive too expensive, I think. I find it relatively versatile, clean sounds worse than a les paul.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I for 1 month, and I would do without this choice hsiter. the price seems excif, but it's a little kid dream. flambs prices in recent years. I have bought a gibson les paul 1995 5300 francs (about 800 Euros) new at the time, now the standard SG is at the same price as a studio around 1200 euros ...... music is expensive too expensive and not necessarily a hand port of everyone.
Apart from that this guitar is really a super shovel. we often hear that there is not that gibson, I agree, but good when even.

Blah Blah Blah ... USA ...
Already detailed in other opinions, I will not dwell on the features of the standard SG.
I just note that this icon of Rock'n'Roll is equipped with the famous PAF 490R and 498T.


USE

On my 2004 model finish is good. The comfortable handle, if not I find them a little higher frets, offers good grip and as often with Gibson, it is manly and warm. It is a lightweight and responsive guitar.

SOUNDS

The sound is fabulous, much in the clear with the neck pickup that popping sound in any position. Swallowing! It's amazing how a mahogany board can send a sound as easily as evil.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Guitarist in my life, this is the third time I come back to this affordable Gibson strong character. Must!

The official site is full of that ct => https://www.gibson.com/en-us/divisions/gibson%20usa/products/sg/sgstandard

USE

I use it for about 1 month, my opinion is very subjective.
Premirement, I like the violin Gnrale (even if I have had a little pte, probably during transport ...).
Wood, varnish, a Gibson feels chre but quality.

The strong point back to its weight: the beast does weighs nothing, really nothing. It is lightweight, has not even break the back if we play sitting (?) And the height of happiness it does not sting the nose as we can hear from a form (that can be if one takes bad ... I do not know, mine is perfectly balanced without the shoulder strap).

The handle is standard, although less fat than a Les Paul but bigger than Ibanez.
It can be very fast on it, while having a good comfort until the FrtE 22me.
The strings are very roots origins, must be a Gibson strings taills for the greasy blues smelling sweat.

Speaking of sweat, for lovers of the good guitars handle sticky is the ideal: the varnish glue very quickly.
Maniacs, those who spend more time cleaning up their guitars that play above may be of, it will clean it so it shines!

The origins mcaniques quickly lose tuning, a problem can arise if one changes often. I personally refines every day for studio use a replacement will be a solution.

I now turn to more important.

SONORITS

This is clearly typ Gibson, indescribable.
it sounds, trsmdium for pickup, very bold (or round) to the neck pickup, very powerful for both. This guitar is perfect for hot blues hot. The rglages are very late.
For clear sound, you can have it is clear (huhu). But it is not crystalline as a Telecaster (no microphone simple, normal). I mean by this is a clear but very MUSCL sound, which the character especially when going after these strings. This is very powerful as his, I'm not at this point.

On my 5w any lamp, with a multi-purpose, it sounds like a guitar in 1400.
I suggest to have a tube amp to fully enjoy the grain.

What more ... vidos look on the official website, youtube, make your opinion. My advice to all (lefties) to take a ride in store.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I privilgie the quality the quantity, it's a guitar that gets better with time, as good vinasse.
It is expensive it's true (I pay 1390, now it is a 1500, there is no longer a can more ... Gibson policy in Europe is like the stock market).
For the price if you must choose, choose right, it's a great left-handed guitar!
I remake that choice without problem.

If you want other opinions, look at the ct in right-handed, I got a treat for the true left foot the head

USE

Thick round and round but very comfortable even for small mains.Tres good access to the latest cases.Vernis crappy handle .... like a lot of gibson so it's annoying and it not slip but good with a polish that happens.
The weight is the big advantage of sg but the guitar is poorly équilibré.Les finishes are not terrible for the most recent models (nail file, badly cut nut).
Tuning holding limit, with a deep draft that goes roughly but beware of bends ....

SOUNDS

Being a fan of Les Paul, a fact that sg bland issue sustain and thick disto.Le sound is more aggressive and sharp as a lp and 490R and 490t lack some definition in my neck taste.The, finishes and microphones are well below the 61 reissue (thinner handle and microphones 57 classic and classic plus much more realistic and autenthiques crunch).
The sg std lack of character but I think that's just my opinion.
The big problem is this lousy varnish and featureless microphones .I never taken pleasure on my sg std and play rock genre ac / dc I take a les paul std !!! To clean sounds .. ... Bad ....
I think the standard that is purchased primarily for the look, the weight and the price (less dear than lp std) and access to acute ... and of course for fans of Angus young !! ! But better to take a 61 reissue; certe more expensive but secondhand it's still affordable.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Gros finishes problems on newer and lacks character microphones.
€ 1,590 in 2008 purchased in stores, so that I bought at high prices since the prices have gone down and is found at just over € 1,000 on the net,! But it's Russian roulette for finishing therefore a risk of ending up with a poorly finished stew and not sound .it the same story with the les paul and considering the price it is a shame for a brand like Gibson !!!
I'm a fan of this brand so I allows me to be critical!

usa, no vibrato, box 22, 490R: 498T, 2vol / 2tone.couleur redwood

USE

while mine was to 2005 and was the acastillage gold, and if you meet one, run away like the plague !!! lol ... is one of the worst year, if not the worst of sg (for the rest, I do not know). made a tour on the net and see how they come in 2005 and you understand .... the handle Vrill has over him even in less than 1 year and c corp is slotted at connection with the handle. c is on AC facilitel access to acute lol !!! but me it my ruin.

SONORITS

it has suited my style of play, but that of my friend that I had tried before, model 96, nickel, nothing to say .on the jcm 900 AC pure rock and hard, more middle and defined my les paul studio.comme what, the year of manufacture ca enormously account.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I, l have kept 2 years (1 year old and 1 year old game for sale !!!!!), it is a great guitar but me I have not had any luck. I can be a raheterais sg but not model after 1999 after there may be good years but I do take more risk lol! and above all do not forget anne 2005 gold fittings series (the gossips say that to swing against the surplus of gold fittings, they are taken less wood sechs) Fuys !!!!!! otherwise great guitar

Made in USA
490R in the bridge / 498T in the neck

Good overall finish, just the Gibson logo and crown (of the head) begin to crackle varnish (mine is 2008).

UTILIZATION

With a Faded SG, the handle of the Standard is better for my taste.
Weight (just over 3kg) is nice when playing several hours standing with this guitar.
Access to acute is easy due to its double-cutaway. I use it a lot for the last string of solos, most difficult thing with other guitars ...

SOUNDS

The Gibson SG Standard is perfect for my style of play that is the rock.
But it is also quite effective in the field of blues.
Plugged into a Fender amp (100 watts mustang 3 V2), the record is good. This guitar sounds as good clean sound with a large saturation.
I play most often in the neck position, the record is very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month now, I'm tired.
Before purchasing this little gem, I had:
- Gibson SG Faded
- Epiphone Wildkat
- Squier Telecaster Bigsby Cabronita
- Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60's

It has now become my main guitar.
Varnish, binding around the handle, pins perloid and logo pearl on the head gives a look more "class" has only the Standard Faded ...
Standard comes in a nice hard case with a white wig or should be forced to make it slightly back while Faded comes in a single-bag gib.
So if you want a nice guitar to play rock and the budget allows, do not hesitate, than to take the Standard

us manufacturing, handle 60's, mahogany and rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, pickups 490R and 498T in the handle easel, 2 volumes, 2 tones, while very progressive way, 3-position selector, nothing original to a gibson sg standard, but if this is research, it's just parfait.le varnish according to more or less light is red or orange, it's just simple but very beautiful, you can see the ribs wood.The body is 3 parties It's not that it's ugly but surprising, especially since it is normally on the one part, but hey I think it makes no difference son.Les level finishes are just excellent, no grip, no false connections I heard enough gibson manufactured crap ends badly, for my part, no complaint, it's just nickel.

UTILIZATION

the handle for good grip thinner than a gibson sg faded which I believe to handle 50's, access to acute is optimal (obviously for sg), and yes you get a good sound for those who love jazz with 490 blues in an intermediate position, and see the rock metal microphones chevalet.ultra versatile.

SOUNDS

my music wanting more towards the metal, this guitar normally is not me, it is very obviously for the ac / dc, but the trash, death metal, hardcore, etc, etc ... it is a fair bit less to boost your amp with a good distortion pedal + a boost, and it really is the foot, I am amused to pay me to drop and it is délire.On has a full sound , fat (according to distortion), the sustain and sound Gibbie aggressive for the stoner, the sabbath, big sound what ...
clean sounds, I also like to play pure, without effects on, everything is good, arpeggio, chords, on the other hand was a round and warm and not crystalline, we must not forget that these are the humbuckers.je plays on a small tube amp excellent, ibanez tube screamer with 5 tsa integrated, it is a treat, whether in blues, jazz, light saturated or there is nothing to throw.

OVERALL OPINION

it'll soon be three years since I have, I had tried everything maple and a faded sg sg raw power, and inevitably this is the standard that I was most attached, although the raw was not bad but feeble to come out with 57 compared to 490 498.Ce I like most is necessarily the sound I get out, and the form of the 50 banks whose granny I changed mechanical for Grovers for better tuning stability. What to say except that this guitar covers a lot of styles, it is versatile, multipurpose, you can even do with funk (intermediate position in clean + boost pedal, sisi ...) this old version of the sg is for me the most attractive, new since 2013 are almost copied / pasted on sg 61 and more expensive Mine to further the interests frieze it a little adjustment in the luthier should fix it. 750 euros secondhand she is, and even today it also costs chère.je do it again this choice without hesitation despite some flaws (who does not?) possède.Reste it anyway to try a few copies sg voodoo, threat, dead, supreme, 61 by changing the pickup gothic, and the grail, Tony Iommi sg, which is just perfect, but most occurred.

Gibson sg standard 2010 made in USA

Easel Tune O'Matic

Channel 60's profile mahogany

-22 Frets with keys oysters, two of Gibson a 498 t in the bridge and a 490 r handle
-2 Volumes, two tones and a three-position selector

UTILIZATION

- The handle although it is more impressive than a strat is very nice and is great in hand, shred plans are very possible for the most talented.

-The interface is excellent, the guitar is very light and profile C can navigate well on the handle without anything coming gener our progress. A downside, however about the game seated, the handle tends to nosedive.

- Access to acute is optimal, is is disconcerting.

- It is easy to get a good sound but a lot depends on your config as a bad amp with bad effects = bad sound (regardless of whether the guitar is 100 or 2000 euros)

SOUNDS

- This guitar suits my style: Alternative Rock, guitar itself has a lot of medium, more than treble to me (this problem does not necessarily have can be solved by setting the tone and the trebble your amp max)
However this is a much more versatile guitar you might think, you just tame, play on the guitar tones from the amp ... You can play with almost all pop, blues, hard rock, jazz, grunge, punk ... except sounds too extreme or too slamming (strat / tele style)

- The sounds are rather fat and rather focus on the midrange, treble and the bass is round and warm.

- I use a Laney Cub 12 and a pedal overdrive Boss SD1

- I love the sound of this guitar very rock. There really its not that I hate, as I have already said just spend a little time on the settings to find what you're looking for.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a me now, this is my first real guitar after a Squier Stratocaster, suddenly the comparison did not even place to be ^ ^.
However, I have not try a lot of other guitars among friends and in stores (U.S. Strat, Jaguar, gibson les paul studio, Prs Custom 24 With ...) The strat remains my favorite guitar model but a short head, because whatever the level of finishes or its SG buries most of the guitars that I've experienced.
The feature I like most is that optimal access to acute and very light body, I am less a fan of the neck pickup but that's pretty subjective.
I remake this choice a thousand times, I could not find better value for money level (buy 700 euros with lots of accessories to a guy who does not play guitar)

USA Gibson sg std 2010.

UTILIZATION

Yes, the handle is nice, wide.
Light and balanced guitar.

SOUNDS

Micro good round. It is fairly clear. To play clear or saturated, it's good. Ideal Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath Zappa was sound.
Pickup to throw. His loud and messy, nothing to learn.

OVERALL OPINION

I played this guitar regularly for two years to honor my purchase more than pleasure. I made the HUGE mistake of buying over the Internet to pay less. Too bad for me.
This instrument is not one.
Sold there one month for less than 600 euros in new condition because this guitar is not worth more.
A guitar that has been lovingly restored and yet when I activais the pickup selector, there were loose connections or when the sound was cut.
"A shame".
That's what I told myself for 2 years.
Fortunately, I had my stratocaster us, a fabulous guitar sends heavy in all registers, a musical instrument that meets the notes and music that makes you want to create.
Gibson is, in my opinion, become a brand governed by shareholders who do not care about music as their first sock.
They should have, however, advance in their field, improve the quality of instrumentals, the opposite happened.
If you hesitate, good advice:
Music Alive!
FLEE!!!!!!!!

USA
classic two volume adjustment 2Tone a micro 3 position selector

UTILIZATION

yes
Channel lumberjack c is what the SG
super mild
Acute super accessible thanks to the SG shape
Sound and well c is the gibson
On one side when you buy a SG one know what they want. Lightness, access to acute a look of hell and Angus

SOUNDS

Yes. In light of marshall or fender amp is beautiful.
Saturated the hambucker dounle are for ca

OVERALL OPINION

The 3 years that I used. It is a 2010 and is perfect
I ve tested stratovolcano. Basically this is what I voulai and to rock as I voulai I never sortai sound that made me reversible.
Quality / price ratio. Pretty good.
I remake that choice but I also could have done other choice because I love the huge round but thinner handle should fit me better
