  • Today we start looking at The Guitaristas 'collection' and no better place to start than with a mixed bunch of tatty old SG's which I then attempt to play in an equally scruffy fashion. Join us and wonder what madness possessed me to buy some of these horned beauties! 😁🤦‍♂️🎸

    It took me years to try an SG (Vintage vs6). It quickly became my favourite type of guitar. Slim, light, great upper fret access and pure rock tones. Love them

      Just got one a few days ago (second-hand Vintage vs6, with Wilkinson hardware, and before they changed the shape of horns).
      I've always wanted an SG, but being a strat and superstrat player for most of my life I was aware it will take some getting used to and was dreading it to be honest, whether I'll be able to get accustomed to such a different guitar or not. It is a different feeling for sure (frets are farther from me than I am used to, and shorter scale and small and slim body made it seem like a toy at first), but I was amazed by how easy and enjoyable it is to play this guitar.
      A slim and fast neck and all of the frets being easily accessible... despite having to fight it a bit due to a certain amount of neck dive when standing, to my pleasant surprise, I've quickly grown to love the feel of SG shape, they are fantastically designed guitars.

    I keep seeing your flying V, and I want it! You will have to show that soon! I bought a 2004 faded SG second hand in 2012, and I fitted some Bare Knuckle Mules, changed the knobs to reflector knobs, and changed the truss Rob cover to a standard one. And it sounds amazing.

    I bought my first Gibson SG in January as a bit of a 50th birthday treat. I had a couple of Epiphone SG`s quite a few years ago and I could of probably happily settled for another this time, but couldn`t resist finally owning a Gibson! As for this channel, they`re the only videos on UA-cam that I watch all the way through! You should put some merch out, I`m a total sucker for merch!!

    @johnladdsmusic Рік тому +4

    To me the SG is the perfect guitar! It’s light, has all the girth of a LP, but with extra bite; not to mention way better upper fret access! I have 13 electric guitars, and if I had to reduce down to 1 only, without hesitation I would keep my 2013 SG Standard with ‘57 Classics…it just rips! Love these videos as always Colin! Cheers and Happy Easter!

    Thanks for sharing, Colin. Another great video. One guitar per week is manageable. That is being custodian to 52 , or 65 in your case. That first SG is a real beauty, fade and all. Magnificent tones. Some of us will recall the sweet tones Mick Taylor coaxed from his SG. Far more than an LP's little brother. And yes there have been some fine practitioners of single coil (not P90) SG's. ie Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush. Cheers!

    Hi Colin! I enjoyed looking at and hearing all of your SG's. The one that gets my attention the most is the white one. That one is just so different than all of the others. My first really nice, non-budget guitar that I ever had is an SG. The one I just had repaired. This video makes me want to pick it up and play it.
    Sorry for the late comment. I usually try to see these on Fridays when they come out, but the last few weeks have been hectic for me. I hope you had a great Easter weekend.

As a proud owner of 8 SGs (5 Gibsons, 1 Epiphone Muse and a Harley Benton model) and one Guild Polara S-100 SG I guess I can say I'm an SG nut! Awesome guitars whether they're humbucker or P-90 or LB-1 (Guild) they're fantastic guitars, love em! Got my first Standard brand new in 1994 and been loving them ever since. Loved seeing part of your collection and look forward to seeing more 👍

    Always loved the distinctive sound of the SG, and some of my favourite guitarists played them - though I've never played one myself. Am I a philistine for saying I much prefer the SG Standard, at the end, to all the other vintage guitars and works of art? Ah, well, philistines of the world unite! Love the collection, and the first part of the video - looking forward to the next one, you big tease!
