deelaz Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 what would you choose? the 61 reissue, the supreme, or the standard? why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 for me it would between the RI and the Standard and then it would depend on what sound I was going for. I have a Standard and it can handle just about anything I throw at it. I'm not sure how the 57 Classics could handle higher gain, although the PUs can be changed.

rafaelh Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I prefer the slimmer neck of the '61 over the Standard's and prefer the '57s also....why I got mine. The only Supreme I've ever played didn't feel or sound much different to me than the '61, but I just didn't care for the color....'61 was cheaper too.

Flamed Froggy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I would go for a standard or a '61 because for me supreme is not a real SG since there is a mapple top. If you need a slim neck you have to get the '61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSJH Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 'Do not have one, but the '68 red Standard with full-harp vibrola was always the prettiest looking and a sterling player. What current neck equates...and is the big vibrola available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I allready have chosen, The '61 SG. There's something in the tone that comes form the combination of Magonany and '57 Classic pup's that works so well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Esthetically, I would pick the Standard. I prefer the look of the Standard's pick guard over the Reissue's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I allready have chosen, The '61 SG. Same here. Best sound around! Although I'd prefer a slightly narrower neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
