SG 61 Reissue Satin Ebony vs SG Standard 2013

[igorrro10]

Hello there

 

Please dont see for my langue errors ;)

 

So I am going to buy for my father Gibson SG 61 Reissue Satin Ebony.

For past 35 years he has been playing at old from 70's Musima Elgita --> http://cheesyguitars.com/musima_elgita.html

He plays Santana, Eagles etc, at the moment just at home

He likes soft necks

 

But I dont know which model is better SG61 vs Standard 2013

 

I can buy SG 61 brand new from shop for 1300 USD

 

From another side I dont know which ampli will be good for Gibson SG staff.

I have a couple proposition:

 

1. VOX AC4TV

2. Fender Mustang II

3. Line 6 Spider IV - 30

 

many thanks for any answer

I personally would just go with a new SG 2013 standard since now they have redone the 2013 sg standard by installing the small pick guard and the classic 57 pick ups. I cannot see spending any more for practically the same guitar. Some are probably going to chime in here and give another opinion but I would save the money and buy the regular 2013 SG standard and not the reissue. As far as the amp goes, I guess it would be a matter of preference of the style of music you father plays but I do have one of the Vox AD50VT modeling amps and I believe they are alot better amplifier than the line 6 and fender mustang amps. I think the Vox modeling amps are one of the best on the market and there are several models to choose from at real reasonable good prices. Good luck, Tim

There are good and bad in all the Sg models. A Sg special can be better than even a custom shop Sg.
