tom brown Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 This is on the gibson website here but just noticed it Jimi hendrix playing a sg custom in sweden . Amazing rare video http://www.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/Hendrix-Gibson-Guitars.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Same SG he played on **** Cavett. Safe to say he rocked it a bit. The LP I have seen him with also, thats rare indeed. Here's Mama Rosetta Tharpe a fine SG-3 addition too. https://youtu.be/SR2gR6SZC2M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Cb you have to buy a new sg to get things going again 📷 Lol He's waiting for the new Captain model scheduled for 2017 with an ebony board and a few other goodies figured to be added!!!

Here's Mama Rosetta Tharpe a fine SG-3 addition too. https://youtu.be/SR2gR6SZC2M Well, actually it's a 61 Les Paul Custom! SG's at that time, were moniker'd "Les Paul" guitars, until about '63, when they were changed to the SG moniker, due to Les Paul allegedly not approving of the new design. There is some controversy, about the real reason he wanted his name removed. But, Sister Rosetta Tharpe's guitar, in that clip, is a "Les Paul Custom," with sideways Vibrola. She played a Barney Kessel model Gibson, as well. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought one day I would buy and own a 61 LP Custom RI. Might be a "yet", don't know, but for sure I always liked that piece. After listening to Hendrix rock it I like it even slightly more.

tom brown Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hello charlie and welcome golden Charlie your right about the dislike that les paul had for the sg according to what i have read, but gibson did not remove his name until a couple years after also according to different sources. Black sabbath got me hooked on the sg custom. Heres a better photo of hendrix with the "les paul" Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Tom you seen the 67 and 92-RI Custom SG? Petty cool also. https://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-1967-reissue-sg-custom-1992-cherry No blend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Tom the Les Paul argument, not very good imho. Just saying, I can't qualify that. Listen if he played a 59 or 58 or 54 55 56 or 57 LP then I think you might have a point that Les for some reason blah, blah, blah the SG. But the truth is he played what a 72 recording? I mean come on how do you qualify all that in relation to the SG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom brown Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I like thoses reissues golden, i think the necks are nice and thin compared to my sg 3. They are the best :) I did read that les paul didnt like the sg because it was to thin. If you google les paul the log you can see why that might make sense. But his name came off the sg after his contract expired, i think. But yes you right his les paul recording was his favorite but many complained about How to work all the switches on them if they didnt have the manual. But that was a guitar he said would do it all from rock and roll to smooth jazz studio work, but i never played one. Go figure lol but those reissues are one of the best guitars made today in my opinion. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 i think the necks are nice and thin compared to my sg 3. Ive heard the same, I haven't played one, supposedly a .800-.875 profile which would be similar to the D Trucks model or the 30-60 339, a soft D shape. The pickups are 490s with a 498 I imagine? Pretty cool SG though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom brown Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Golden i would have to check to see. I did own a sg 3 faded with the 490 pickups which are ok but can get brittle real easy. I was able to tweak my amp to get it softer but then once i played the sg 3 with the "57" pickups i was hooked ! Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG player Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This SG Custom is a beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This SG Custom is a beauty Sorry, that's NOT an SG "Custom!" It's a Limited Run SG (3 pickup) Standard, with '61 era (reissue) Sideways vibrola. But, yeah, it's a great looking SG, nonetheless!

4Hayden Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I would take the SG Custom Shop 1988 in a heart beat and have a good air brush guy blend in the color. 4H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
