dude why'd you bring acc/dc in to this? do you really think there sound is deteriorating? well let's see, considering they are rich and lately have been using nothing but VINTAGE equipment. (angus used a '64 sg on ballbreaker) dude i think stiff upper lip was there best record since blow up your video. all the songs rocked and did NOT sound like a shithole youretard

i can see why people dont like the SG, the technology is old compared to what you might find on an ESP etc. but thats becuase gibson have never changed the design or spec so that people who want a classic SG can still get one.
personaly i love mine, but i wouldnt dream of using it for playing certain songs, it would sound bollocks. but then again, for most heavy stuff, you cannot beat it.
its all about opinion..mine is- its awesome.

Spartan Dude, are you sure? The faded has the 498T and 490R pickups, I don't know what the standard has, but I've played both back-to-back and the faded does sound hotter. The standard did have a sweeter tone though, lil bit nicer clean sound. What really sold me was the worn finish, feels pretty kick-ass.

maybe the faded you played had a pickup change cause last time i checked the specs, it had a 490R and a 490T. I LOVE MY SG!

I HAVE A PROBLEM!! i've worked in some money now but i dont know what's best to buy; gibson les paul standard or sg? is the les paul woth it?


To tell you the truth, a Les Paul does look nice, but the SG is completelyy worth it. The thing about the Les Paul is that the 3 way switch is on the top of the guitar which can be very difficult to use. With and SG, you still get the looks, the sound, and a switch that you can hit when you downstrum. That's the way I look at it. Or just buy both

Have you seen the faded finish? It's the most dirty,ugly brown on a guitar I've ever seen! Spartan 117 is so true, the burstbuckers are hotter than the inexpensive faded pups. If you want hotter pups, just get some EMGs on that thing!!

Have you seen the faded finish? It's the most dirty,ugly brown on a guitar I've ever seen! Spartan 117 is so true, the burstbuckers are hotter than the inexpensive faded pups. If you want hotter pups, just get some EMGs on that thing!!

Hey you CAN quote a quote you quoted!!!!cool

gibson = usually heavy, good quality, warm sound, o.k. clean, very good distorted, and no rip off.


gibson is better for rock and metal music

Exacly they for different shit. Someone else said that esp's and jacksons are better than Gibsons.
Well maybe thats coz u like metal more than rock and it suits the genre u like.

i this better than the sg reissue??

I preffered it to the 61 reissue cos the 61's neck was annoyingly flat for me and my big hands. The Std also has better sustain. As far as sound goes, I felt the 490R on the Std and the 57 classic (neck) on the 61 sounded almost identical, contrary to what I've heard.

It's really your call on them, as it is on any guitar...

amen to that. for the price of the sg, you can get a jackson rr5 (i have one, its ****ing amazing), or get an esp f-400 (and have enough money left over for a decent practice amp), both of which are superior guitars.
the sg isnt that bad of a guitar either (tho i like the les paul better), but gibson completely rapes customers with the ridiculous overpricing (imho, sg is worth no more than 600-700 on the market, especially when most upper-end esp's are around 700-800, and are loads better)

Out of the big 4 (Les paul, strat, tele, SG) you are definitely going to get a good sound out of any of them and which one you pick, depends on what sort of music you wanna play, but don't go around critisising the SGs when they look ten times more looking than telecasters.

I disagree. I think when you see or hear the name "Standard" I think it makes it more attractive because its the "original" type, sort of. Just like the Stratocaster Standard. If you hear you know, Affinity series or something, you get put off because its not the original you hear so much about, and that the old pros played etc.

i personally think that the sound quality it very poor nowdays. they lost their great sound back in 1979 when ACDC recorded their last album with a great legend. if you are an acdc fan you will know that the sound quality is steadily getting more shithouse with every album. malcolm young's gretche has a purely awesome sound and still does even with these new amps.
SOUND QUALITY: SG: 5/10 GRETCHE:10/10


Guess what? Angus uses pretty much the same SG every AC/DC album, Not one made on the same year as the album :L I am a die hard AC/DC fan, and I know Bon Scott was a legend, but Brian Johnson is better imo.

Anywayyy; my next guitar will either be an SG or a MIJ LP (Edwards, Tokai, Burny etc etc.) Cant wait

It is because of 2 reasons. The main reason is how high your pick ups are. the hotter the pickups the more you could claim it quacks. The second reason is you use 9 gauge strings. they are designed to use 10 guage.

That is the first time I have ever seen a drunken slur in text... very interesting. And, seeing as how you have probably never even played an SG, they not only look sexy, they sound great. Go listen to the solo to "You Shook Me All Night Long".

That's an SG's sound.
