Gibson SG Standard '61 Electric Guitar Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter

Gibson usa ain't what it used to be. Granted u can tell the diff from an epi....but not 1400 worth. If ur gonna get a Gibson, GET A CUSTOM SHOP REAL DEAL.

One of the very best in my collection of 17 guitars...highly recommended...classic beauty!

Perfect right out of the box...no flaws...no blemishes...no defects...worth every penny! Snug fit in hard shell case...came with tools, and picks, micro-fiber cloth and leather strap labeled "Gibson" - nice surprises. Super addition to my collection of guitars.

I decided to go to GC for lunch break and ended up buying this after playing it through a fender blues jr. there. I wanted to play some gigs with this guitar before leaving a review. The reason why I bought this guitar was because my Les Paul was getting too heavy after long gigs. True enough, it doesn't sound as great as my LP, but this SG sings and has its own tone. I am surprised how much sustain and "ringness" it has while playing. This guitar is lightweight comnpared to the LP and has a wider neck at the base, it feels like, which is great for leads close to the pickups. This has become my number one guitar. Joy to play and sounds great The tobacco burst is pretty dark on the one I have compared to the picture they show on the website... And I love it. It used to be my back that would get tired from playing gigs, but now, it's my fingers from playing so much on this thing. Just get it... It's Gibson, it's worth it.

Son wanted a guitar, so I bought him a mim strat. Fast forward a year later and his skills have progressed extremely fast. He also gravitated towards alternative and vintage metal so he wanted a guitar better suited to his style; something that had a bit more bite and crunch but balanced and still offered beautiful cleans. We settled on an SG. I've been playing for around 20 years and primarily play acoustic but also own a Jazzmaster. I find myself playing his SG quite often. Styling of the SG had me always passing up the SG throughout the years but man after getting to know it, this is such a great guitar. I'm extremely impressed, this guitar has soul and is extremely inspiring to play. It's a gorgeous guitar, extremely well made and the sunburst on this is also stunning! The only negative was the setup when we bought it. Action was high and fret buzz. After a set up, she's perfect!

I got this guitar recently, ordered online. I was sent a floor model, because for some reason, though GC said they had it "in stock", they couldn't find one in their warehouse, and sent me one from a store miles away. It had dings where the neck meets the headstock, due to being hung on the wall. Most of the hardware was loose. The thing would not stay in tune and would not intonate. I spent more time tuning and fussing with it, than playing it. Had to have it set up professionally. because lubing the nut and the bridge didn't help. I'm wondering, if it'd been sent from the warehouse direct, those issues would be present. The finish is beautiful. The fretboard is smooth. Just wish GC had more guitars actually in-store, to try before buying. Let's just say, for near $2000 (over, after taxes), I expected better.
