The sideway looks cool, and that’s the only reason I bought it.
leave it alone and it stays in tune fine.
Great guitar -
I goes to tailpiece, on one of my sg’s.

Boy, that's handsome.
How slim is the neck on that model? My 2012 '61 Reissue feels like a Firebird neck that's had about 3mm shaved off of the back.
Not that flat feeling on this model
Very Nice neck, if i would be very strick a Tiny bit off the shoulders and IT would have been perfect. But AS IT is im very happy . And the job done on the fretwork and nut is superb.

IMHO if you really want a 70's look the pickguard should go back on 🙂
I might replace the cream i got with a black

How do the nylon saddles sound compared to metal?
I imagine it takes away a tiny little bit of the fuzzy high, and it might preserve the stings better.

I’ll take the 2013 SG Original all day, every day over the SG Standard 61.
Also, besides chrome hardware, and the addition of the Vibrola, they are identical to the ‘61 Reissues from 2003-2012, including, pups, large headstock and correct crown placement.
The headstock on the 61 reissue is slightly larger, at least on the '07 i sold a couple of years ago. Over the years i had a few sg's and to me i think the Sg original has the nicest headstock 🙂

I have the Sg Original From 2013. It was a two years run. Heritage Cherry 2013 and Dark Cherry 2014
So the difference Between the models
ABR1 Bridge - Nashville Bridge on 2013
500k Pots and orange capacitors- 300k pots on 2013
61t and 61r Humbucker- 57 classic on 2013
Speck on new say slim taper, on the Sg Original speck say Slim 60's. But mine is more rounded. Had the old 61 reissue, that was slim taper. Maybe the new one are like that?
Contours and bevels Looks identical, except the headstock on the 2013 a bigger mustache. The new more vintage Correct. But the 2013 looks cool
Mine is 1 piece body, think the new ones are that also
A pick of mine

In see a online dealer has the Sg Special pelham blue with p90, in 2 prize range.
about 600 dollar between them. Both say 2019, but i suspect one is the old era and one from the new.
Anybody know if there any diffrence in specs. I think Troglys review showed it wit pcb board. Think that was the old 2019.Anybody know something around the differences in these model

Oh MY!!!
Even the Bevel Police would approve of that one, sellen! Utterly GORGEOUS!
Is that one a Re-Issue, though? It looks too good to be otherwise.
Pip.
EDIT : I missed this one earlier...
Yes! Easily one of the tastiest offerings from the last few years.
Yes a Custom shop reissue.
The Junior is very cool

I do so love those Custom SG's, in particular the red finish and gold hardware look stunning!
Here's one I used to have year's ago, bought it new, called "The SG". Cheap axe, but not as bad as one might think. I've not seen too many since -
Brand new autumn burst Carved Top I bought recently, which I absolutely love, sooooo curvy!
And finally my 1973 SG Custom in walnut -
cool axe's man . that carved top , do it sound simmilar to Les paul?

fairly common problem here........
did you replace the factory strings, and did you change string guage?
anyhow...... start w/good strings of factory (.010) size, make sure they're not binding in the nut, if they are then use an old string as a file to "rout out" the notch until it glides through easily. lube the slots with pencil graphite afterwards.
make sure the screws and barrel nut on the tuners themselves are tight.
these are the most common causes.
and give 'em (strings) a good stretch

Guess it is special ldt. Looks great. Same color like this one, beautiful color cream.

Recently got myself a Marshall JMP 2204 head 1982 model, i gave 1000 euro for it. Kinda felt it was made for sg, drive it with 2*12 cabinet. But you gotta play loud before the good stuff happen. For home use a guy at the local guitar shop praised the new 1 watt blackstar valve combo.BTW great looking sg you got

NGD Sg Standard '61 Sideway Vibrola

Hi guys
im still loving my sideway vibrola sg, great guitar. The trem gives a vibe.
I’m working on a solution with some additional sponges so it’s go back to start point zero every time.
That’s the problem with this trem it’s to loose in it’s design.
Kinda lazy of Gibson really, they could have made it useful if they put in the effort.
I see some shop’s advertising Gibson redesign the trem and it works perfectly now. Big lie it’s as bad as ever. Not that I’ve tried the original one
But as long as I don’t touch it it’s fine👍
the sg desire never die😎
Some YouTube shorts videos with the sg and attempt on singing, just having fun🥳
