  2. Gibson "The Paul" 2019 With Case https://hartford.craigslist.org/msg/d/burlington-gibson-the-paul-2019-with/7714172375.html This guy also has a chinese gibson listed on craigslist but says this one is real. I don’t know.
  3. Thanks for the pics guys. I love those blue custom SG’s They seem to be on the rare side these days.
  4. I am still playing and loving this SG . I got lucky and bought this years ago before the price had gone up significantly and the neck feels just right to me. There’s no buzz, and the tones are to die for. The bridge pick up will give you massive crunch and the neck pick up definitely has a darker jazz orientation ,but ,surprisingly I’ve been using the middle pick up the majority of the time and I turn the volume for the neck pick up down to eight This gives me a nice biting from the bridge pick up with a little bit a gloss from the neck pick up and seems to be just the right tones for my ear. This was a great year and model for gibson. cheers

  7. Here is the 2017 Gibson SG T my new favorite guitar. I looked on the Gibson website as I thought his guitar was plek’d but I did not see it there so here is a bit more information on this guitar design from sweetwater. I think this SG rivals competing brands custom shop models for thousands less. Classic Style and Hallowed PAF Tone This article was Written By Our Product Research Team Get to know them! The Gibson SG Standard T solidbody electric guitar is a favorite with rock, blues, and jazz players everywhere. Its double-cutaway mahogany body delivers all the resonance you'd expect from a classic instrument. A set of '57 Classic humbuckers yields vintage PAF-style tones by the truckload. Wrapping your hand around this guitar's mahogany SlimTaper neck is a joy, and its new thicker rosewood fingerboard exhibits a richer tone and makes bending incredibly smooth. Locking Grover kidney-button tuners are durable and precise. A self-lubricating TekToid nut enhances your sustain and provides an accurate return to pitch. A small teardrop pickguard adds a touch of vintage vibe to the Gibson SG Standard T solidbody electric guitar. Gibson SG Standard T Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance: Plek'd for precision playability The Gibson SG - a brief history SlimTaper neck feels great and provides exceptional playability Powerful, punchy pickups plus killer appointments Plek'd for precision playability This SG Standard 2017 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk. The Gibson SG - a brief history In the early 1960s, Gibson sought to bolster its reputation as a quality builder of electric solidbody guitars in the midst of slow sales of their now-iconic Les Paul. Originally intended as a new model of the Les Paul, this new design failed to obtain the endorsement of Les Paul himself, and as such was renamed the SG (Solid Guitar). The newly minted Gibson SG was thinner than the Les Paul, with two cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges, and no body binding. Originally advertised as having the "fastest neck in the world," the Gibson SG is presently one of the most copied solidbody electric guitar models in the world. SlimTaper neck feels great and provides exceptional playability The Gibson SG Standard T sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a SlimTaper profile. Early Gibson guitars had huge, often ungainly necks. By 1960, Gibson had gradually carved down this profile into what became their SlimTaper neck. As your fingers move down this neck, the precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio of the SG Standard T's SlimTaper neck provides you with a consistent, fast, and comfortable feel. It's no wonder many lifelong guitar players consider the SlimTaper Gibson's finest neck. Powerful, punchy pickups plus killer appointments Two of Gibson's best-loved humbuckers amongst Sweetwater guitarists - a '57 Classic in the neck position, and a '57 Classic Plus in the bridge - give the Gibson SG Standard T the power, punch, and clarity of Gibson's legendary PAF pickups. Other traditional appointments include a small teardrop pickguard, locking Grover kidney-button tuners, and a chromed aluminum Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar. Gibson SG Standard T Solidbody Electric Guitar Features: Solid mahogany body delivers copious sustain Fast and comfortable SlimTaper neck profile Thicker rosewood fingerboard for improved sonic depth and playability '57 Classic humbuckers deliver classic PAF-style tones Self-lubricating TekToid nut yields great sustain and accurate return to pitch Small teardrop pickguard is a hallmark of early '60s SG Standards Durable and precise locking Grover kidney-button tuners Plek'd for precision playability The Gibson SG Standard T solidbody electric guitar delivers the goods.

  11. Hendrix playing a SG custom !!!
  12. Those are some nice SG’s alpha, thanks
  13. The Gibson SG I just bought was set up with tens on it but I noticed that the factory Had originally called for the nines on this guitar. I do have some playing issues because of damage to my fingers so nines would definitely be easier for bending and playing as I understand . And the engineers and designers get paid a lot of money to come up with designs for these guitars in so I would think that The Nines would work well . However, I just got this guitar set up to exactly where I want And the sound is exactly the way I want it so the question is, “How much will changing the strings from tens to nines affect the tone characteristics of this guitar? Thanks
  14. Kidblast it wont let me load photos, says the file is to big ?
  15. Thanks rabs, great video i also just dropped the treble side of the pickup about 1/16 of a inch lower then the bass side. It made a difference. cheers !!!
  16. I agree we could kidblast If it’s bothering you now every time you look at it it’s gonna bother you always. It takes away from the enjoyment of your Les Paul . I would rather have one that was really beat up but without anything that looks to be possibly structure type cracks near that headstock or nut. It actually looks like the problem they had when they hung guitars up in the polyurethane rubber on the hanger would deteriorate the area of the guitar . And I could see the finish of the wood is discolored in that area also . If that is what happened it probably is just a surface crack but like I said if it’s bothering you I’d send it back . cheers
  17. Actually I am liking this middle position on the guitar with both the tone controls rolled off to about eight and then a roll off the neck pick up also to about eight and play in the middle position . Good sound thank yall 🙋‍♂️
  18. I was finally able to make my purchase of this 2017 Gibson SG T and I have to say that this is a really finely constructed guitar . A friend of mine who is a master luthier looked it over really well and agreed with me . The neck is a slim taper so it seems just the right size and it has the 57 pickups in it which I happen to like . They do have a brightness to them but that’s where tone controls and equalization comes in on your guitar amp . Also I plan to put DR blues nickel strings on it which will turn the brightness down a little bit . And I usually drop the pick ups a little lower than the factory specs , that helps. It also has a locking Grover tuners which work really well . I think I got lucky because this guitar was never played, it was bought and put in a case and then listed for sale as being in excellent condition . Not any fret marks at all. It overdrives very well but I really like these pickups when they’re just on the cusp of being overdriven where if you digging you could get that little bit of overdrive . I really think this guitar is a custom shop quality when compared to some that I have played . I’m using a roland 40 watt cube and a fender blues junior 4 edition . I only have a Wawa pedal but I’m trying to figure out which would be the best pedal with this guitar and a fender tube amp for unsaturated overdrive ?? cheers !!
  19. Yes the tone knob goes dark pretty wuick after being bright. i ll try lowering pickups
  20. Hi all I am still looking for an SG3 in the faded version to buy . Cheers
  21. I am borrowing one of these guitars from my friend and I am finding out that this guitar is wicked bright , as in bright treble response. I actually have the tone down to five when I’m playing the bridge pick up and then it gets dark very quickly . I really like this guitar and might give it a new home except for this over abundance of treble. Any suggestions ??
