Jeff George Demos The New Gibson SG Standard '61
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2019
- We Are Harlot guitarist Jeff George stopped by the Gibson Showroom in Los Angeles, CA to discuss Ace Frehley and Angus Young, his musical roots and the brand new SG Standard ’61 from Gibsons “Original Collection.”
The SG Standard ‘61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. In 1961, the Les Paul model was put on hiatus and an all new design evolved into what is today known as the SG or “solid guitar”.
The Gibson SG Standard '61 retains the styling of the original featuring a slim taper mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge and keystone tuners.
The pickups are 61R and 61T humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.

You sound great as always, Jeff! Really stoked to hear that Gibson on the road!
Man I love this guy! Thank you Gibson for turning me on to Jeff George! What a killer player and I love his enthusiasm for rock ‘n’ roll.
25 seconds in and I need this guitar. Gibson and Marshall sound.
Lol I just bought one with my credit card and I don’t give a
Crap. Hadda get one ☝️
@@precisionbrown6829 I’ll be there before the month is over haha once I finish laying for my Les Paul and Marshall dsl
looks just like my 62 standard .... The best electric guitar ever made, PERIOD!
Mr. Roach I have to agree with you on that. As a beginner I loved Fender Strats. Then I met Mr Les Paul in NYC and I have 2 Fender guitars and about 10 fender Basses. That’s not the point. Gibson saw a genius and took them what 10 years to realize Les was a genius?
I’m officially a Gibson gal now.
I still Play my Strat and Mustang but the SG was officially the smartest thing since um “Little liver pills?” I don’t know but the light weight just fascinates me. ❤️
It's simple. I see Jeff demoing for Gibson, I smash that like button.
Jeff rules! He always has so much passion for guitars.
Love Jeff George, and Harlot kicks ass.The new Gibson SG's look and sound fierce.
I have two older SG guitars and looking to get one of these new one's. And, this guy has the "tone" in the hands. Nice job Gibson.
Great player! That is what a SG should sound like and even more playing on his next video please.
Damn! That tone is thick. Love it. Gibson is killing it!! SG has balls! Especially not needing a shit ton of gain. Think I’ve seen this dude before, sounds killer Gibson!!
I bought one of these a few months ago and it is one of the best guitars I have played. Its amazing.
Known this dude for 20+ years and he’s sounding better than ever. Must be all of the booze!
This dude shreds .. Saw his band at Download Fest with 75,000 other people in the bloody rain and they killed. Wish there was more lead playing on this but still sounds great. Great match of guitar and guitarist.
This 61 SG is killer! I remember having a limited edition SG Standard with P90s in 2011, I regret selling that guitar.
Damn! Jeff George kills it on guitar.
You had me at "sonic brutality."
I got these pickups and they sound killer!
wow Jeff is my favorite guitarist, I thought he was Esp guitars?? So happy now Gibson guitars
Sam Hues I said the same. I saved and saved. Took me months throwing a few bucks here and there. And after that time I had enough. Then you wait for sales.
no dislikes, nobody doesnt like an sg
Hanford Reach that’s why it’s Gibson’s top selling model of all time.
Zen Jenga helps that it’s never been out of production too
All you need is a school boy uniform and you will be as right as rain.
Rock On, Wayne !
Too Cool! We had Jeff up at our shop while he was out on tour, scary good guitar player and one hell of a nice guy. But, don't go out with him, cause you won't make it home till a day later. Gibson seems to be back doin it right again.
Tone Times Two Sales sometimes a week later
Party like it’s South Padre 1993, Ace Frehley, daring dubells!
Now THIS is how you do a sales promo!
Is this going to be his Signature model guitar? I have 2 of his ESP model guitars but now want to have this Sg model. Jeff Angus Rhoads
Already have a nice SG Standard but I need this SG.. Me likey!!!
I wanted to buy one of these Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola in Vintage Cherry for a while. After watching your video on this guitar i was totally discouraged from making my purchase due to you not being able to keep it in tune. But I went down to my local Guitar center here in Las Vegas and they had one in stock. I held it, the neck is outstanding the fret work is wonderful, the wood grain and color were so beautiful. I tuned it up and played a few cords and check the tuning, for sure it was out of tune. I fooled around trying to keep it in tune for three hours and became totally discouraged because this guitar was beautiful. So I did the only reasonable thing, I said to the salesman I am going to flip this Guitar Center pick, "blank side it stays here written side I buy it". It landed on written side so home with me it went, and boy am I glad it did. The next day I set out to find out why it wouldn't stay in tune and I discovered why, (fixed it) and now it's hard to knock it out of tune. First the tuning keys were lose and the screws holding the tuners on were striped from the factory, so i fixed that. Second the angle on the Vibrola is wrong from the factory, you need to tweak the angle and shim the Vibrola slightly, the E-string should not be touching the trem bar while in the resting position. Now polish the frets and do a complete set up. This guitar now when using the Vibrola as intended will stay in tune wonderfully. This guitar is a great guitar and if you take the time and put in the work to set it up properly, YOU WILL LOVE THIS GUITAR! I think that from the factory they just assemble the parts and are done, not realizing or having the time that it needs to make this fine guitar function together as a whole instrument. Glad I took the time and made the purchase. Please let your viewers know this is an amazing Gibson Guitar after the corrections are made. I Have no connection with Gibson and I am not a professional Luthier, so if i can fix it this guitar is fixable.
Thank you
Without making the adjustments you made to the vibrola, would it stay in tune if you just didn't use the vibrola?
Typical for a vibrola, don’t get me wrong it looks beautiful but I haven’t heard good reviews in the tuning department. That’s why imma just play it safe and get a stop tailpiece.
The Sg is cool, but I'm really geeking out over the vintage Gibby amps!
nice sg, it seems like the 61 reissue..are there any differences except for the humbuckers and abr-1;
"...And your mom's flickin' the lights..." WOW. We used to jam (horribly and horribly loud) in my buddy's basement as teenagers and his mom used to do the same thing. I would leave my Marshall JCM 2000 half stack (which I had no right owning) at his house and his dad would play on it all of the time. I think he may miss that thing more than I do now.
Waynes World????
The neck on the SG is like an aircraft carrier deck. It takes a little getting used to but no question a hell of a rock machine.
Have this same axe in ebony. Classic rock machine.
@3:41 @gibsonTV can you confirm the 1 piece Mahogany Body ?
I just bought a 2013 61 reissue standard. I was a little reluctant but the light weight is amazing!
My Les Pauls are going to be collecting a little dust
Wow
What is the difference between the 61 Standard and the standard besides the pick guard size, What im interested in knowing is if the neck has a different thickness or the same. ? Thanks Eric
Eric Burk This one has a thinner neck.
61 has skinny head stock, gibson deluxe tuners, different neck join, different route for pickups, hand wiring, smooth back plate (no anti static pattern). Comes in a hard case, the standard comes in soft case now. The '61 also cost more. The pick guard. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but it's not a world apart.
I have the '61 and love it. Also an SG special with p90s. The '61 feels like the neck is a hair thicker than the special, but it could just be the thick finish. Love it.
Randy Rhoads hell yeah! \m/
A G D open chords wow some talent
He's like a more rock'n roll Bonamassa.
I need a hat like that
Wayne's World Party Time Excellent!
Party on Garth !!
That tone is so smooth and creamy
I've been thinking about buying a "Gibson SG '61 Standard 2019", but now I don't know if I'm gonna buy the new "Gibson SG '61 Standard" instead.
As far as I can tell, there isn't much difference between these two guitars, except that one of them has a tektoid nut and the other one has a graphtech nut and I'm not sure how much difference the nut makes.
I've been wondering this myself?
I'm guessing this is the official Gibson rebirth? That's the reason for the slight designation change.
I've looked for a difference and can't find it either..
I have the Gibson SG Standard 2019 that was released late 2018 and it has the PCB wiring (which kinda sucks) instead of traditional wiring. Other than that and the nut, I think they are pretty much the same. The truss rod cover on the one I have also reads "SG" instead of the plain black cover. I actually prefer the plain black. Overall, it plays great. I've run through 4 SGs over the years before settling on this one.
@@p4easy7 Alright, sounds good! But I wonder if there is a big difference between a tektoid nut and a graphtech nut in terms of how the guitar stays in tune and how much better open strings sounds? I don't even know what kind of nut my Gibson Les Paul Traditional from 2008 has and if it has PCB wiring or traditional wiring. Yeah I forgot to mention the truss rod cover and I prefer the plain black cover also.
I’m guessing the 61 will come with 60s specs like the profile of the neck etc. Personally me I just think it looks better so it has me sold there😂 but if you’re not a big classic guitar guy like me the normal sg would so as well.
I picked up one of these not long ago. It's my 4th gibson over a span of many years. The '61 SG is beautiful. The best fit and finish of any of my gibsons - by far.
The new style ABR-1 is not like the original ABR-1 and I wish it did attach with screws right in the wood like my older guitars. The saddles also make some dulcimer sounds until you deal with the string groove.
No real complaints. This guitar is awesome. Plays easy, feels comfortable in the hands, has a good body weight and doesn't want to neck dive all day, sounds bright and dynamic - not compressed or over hot, though the neck PU is a bit dark to deal with. A life time guitar for sure.
Bucky Larson is an awesome guitarist!
PS. Don't get me wrong, your pick of Guitar Player's of Course are some of my favorites as well, but
You talking about the MOTOR CITY
I mean Come on, no mention of Ted. Still LOVE your Vid. 🎸💚
Ok so Ive got a guitar world 1998 buyers guide and there is a 61 SG standard. so 20 years later how can Gibson call this the new 61 SG standard?
I want the guitar and I really want that hat.
That sound, right there. You did it Gibson
What amp is this? Sounds fantastic!
Wig?
I WANT THIS GIBSON SG BUT WITH EMG PICK UPS WITH BOSS PEDALS AND BLACK STAR OR RANDALL AMPS.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Please make the M3 for us shredders.
me playing long time . pick up a strong new or old Gibson , Sometimes it plays you .. that's a rush ?
Why did gibson delete the previous video? About the Gibson Les Paul Modern
This is how you sell sh1t!
Make it an emotional connection, with a lot of energy.
Give the item a larger than life aura and BOOM! People will respond.
Great playing. Great tone. Wish there was less talking and more playing
Is that hair sewn into the hat?
Alpine white with grovers please, otherwise exactly like this. (yes, I know then it wouldn't be the same as a '61.)
The new "Satan's Guitar" is amazing!👍
Ok ok ok Jeff.. But can it shoot rainbows out of the jack socket?
This dude is Wayne and Garth in one
Wouldn’t it be great to get some real rock stars in to demo these new instruments?
Mark loaned him his shirt
Is this a chinese guitar?
If yes, the tone is great in one All Tube
I have the modern Sg standard, I know the 61 version is better, but it shouldn’t be too hard to mod it’s electronics to be like it I wouldn’t think
I wonder what it REALLY sounds like.
That's marks shirt
here put this hat on tho
I thought the 61had vibrola im confused man , too many subdivisions of models . i was just watching a demo vid last pm , seriously
The 64 had the maestro vibrola
@@bendavisjrmusic He was probably referring to the 2019 models. They brought the vibrolas back that year.
I Wish I Could Buy Me A Gibson I Don't Have The Money . TroyFrost / Troyster 😎 CoolRiffs 😎 Cool 🤘🤘🤘🎸
my reissue sg 61 /2011 IS THE BEST GUITAR for the blues "british", the sound is perfectly.
Gibson player here and I know these guitars are going to be great, BUT these demo videos are more about the dudes than the guitar .
Leave me with an SG, LEFTY of course, and I'm good...don't even need food or water.
Lol, tailpiece will hold the guitar in tune. Okay Billy Corgan.
No Fender amp in the back.
Is it true then? With Gibson, it’s more about the guitar than the player ??
CC doesnt work i couldn't understand anything he said lol
why do I feel like if he took that hat off the hair would come with it?
you guys need to get the kid from GVF to demo the sideways vibrola one
I have a real one with the fold away tremolo bar and pafs nothing sounds like that lol
1mrslapzilla useful info, but he’s definitely using a shitty low watt amp and a pedal. Are real pafs hotter or more tame?
*Two piece mahogany
Does he demo it or just talk the whole time?
get derek trucks to do a demo
You guys from Gibson should call Jake Kiszka from Greta Van Fleet, truth is, Gibson is awesome, but haven't been for a while, too classic for new times, look at Fender's youtube channel, you don't have to do the same, but you definitely have to do it better, honestly, who is relevant in today's music that could do a piece for you guys
They suck
put one out with over wound PAFs!!!!!!!
This guy looks like Joe Dirt, but he can’t handle an SG for sure!
They're awesome if you can actually get a good one without issues. QC is a nightmare with Gibson.
Fingerboard she very dry
“What’s it gonna say to you?” then plays a ton of clichés, nothing interesting then..
The hair alone looked like a parody wig of a rock star. Of course he was going to rock the blues scale at speed.
Uh..........how bout Ted Nugent! Detroit, Gibby Headstock.....🎸💚
Dude got no natural rhythm.
WORK ON SPEAKING AND PRESENTATION AND FINGER SPEED ,YOUR NOT PLAYING ECONOMICALLY
lol blank pallet2 you must just be an idiot! blank pallet is a reference to your intelligence. This guy is on here cause he is a pro, whereas you obviously are just an idiot. Ugh!
