Murphy Labs is struggling with faulty finishes and blaming it on the consumers lack of climate care. It’s ludicrous. I’m just so disappointed. Let it go. There are wonderful options.

just got my first sg a Gibson aged cherry 61 with gold hardware. the AMS exclusive. I have always been a strat/tele guy. after watching all your sg videos I decided i needed to try one. it is easily my favorite guitar now.

That's a beautiful guitar. It will look even better once it gets some age and checking. I'd be tempted to try and check it prematurely!

The output readings are very sensitive to temperature, if you hold the pickup for a minute or two you can watch the reading rise. You are 100% correct about the pickups Colin 42 American wire gauge polyurethane coated wire. Its very consistent so the readings should be exactly what Gibson claim.

I absolutely love that color. I just added a TV yellow standard to my collection. Love it.

Brilliant Colin! entertaining as always! Inspired me to pull out my Epiphone SG '61 Standard (The Gibson collaboration version) which I haven't played for a while. I'd forgotten how good SG's sound, you dialed in a really good tone in your demo.

Next one on the way is one of the epiphone inspired by gibson Korina explorers... expensive for an epiphone but.. you only live once..cheers from Canada..keep doing what your doing.. love your reviews.

I bought an Olive Drab one from CME in late 2019/early 2020. Love it. My pickups read 7.2k... they are so clear sounding for HB. They really made me appreciate low output HB's. Also, out of my 4 SG's, it by far has the thinnest neck. It's a keep for life guitar.

Lee is a cool dude. He always interacts with his social media's and that is why I keep watching Andertons vida

Yay! Happy Friday :) great stuff, again. Now, I can say that the SGs ARE your thing Collin, taking just by how you engaged with it. And the way you played it, different to the teles and whats-its you've had before on the show. I guess its a GAS Friday for me too, so don't get angry with me saying I thought you were as happy as me playing a new strat ;) Yeah, I think I am more of a strat person than anything else, in the end. As for Gibson, they do give me this sense I am a valued member of the "Cabo Wabo" club, with all the goodies they attach to the guitar.

Hi there, love your videos, Saturday morning, fresh coffee, watch new Guitarista vid - perfecto! I saw the “chip” and wanted to add, not to worry, as you always say, guitars should be played and enjoyed. They’ll get bumps and scars - all of mine have them! However, if you wanted to fix it, nitrocellulose although toxic, is very easy to work with and very forgiving. It’s quite simple to get either clear or shell pink and do a small drop fill - there are a few helpful tips from Stew Mac - long story short, add tiny amounts to build up to desired depth and in every application the new nitro melts into the old - it dries real fast bit. Needs a few weeks to gas off to a suitable hard finish. Then buff to match the surrounding sheen - nitro clear available in matt, satin, and gloss finishes - hope this helps and look forward to your next upload - all the best!

Nice sounding SG Standard! The colour certainly grabs you, it’s nice to have something a little bit different. Although I own lots of different guitars the Gibson SGs and the Telecasters are the ones I usually end up playing. I’ve always wanted a Paisley Telecaster, I know that it wouldn’t sound significantly different to any of the other Teles I already have but like you I can be a bit impulsive when it comes to GAS so I’m sure that eventually I’ll get one. The internet is terrible if you’re a compulsive guitar collector, without it I’d probably only have around 10 guitars instead of over 80. Looking forward to next weeks video.

SG's aren't my thing, although I think they look cool, and pink isn't my thing either, but I have to say by the end of the video the guitar was growing on me.

Guitaristas I’m a guitar tech in New York and have really enjoyed your reviews infused with your fun personality for some time now. Thank you. I tell my customers about your not at all typically thorough inspections. I do have a possible suggestion or two if you wouldn’t mind. I also perform these inspections for all my customers bringing me a new guitar for set up. The two critical checks I do, especially for the G brand and Im not excluding the ridiculously overpriced Custom Shop models, is verifying proper nut slot depth from string to string and fret level. A conservative 50% of these guitars require some degree of fret level, crown and polish, particularly for those expecting very low action. These common build quality issues are not exclusive to G brand but certainly more common with them. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work, healthy addiction and sense of humor. Cheers, Gary

Congratulations!!! Beautiful guitar, I loved the color Pink!!! Great sounding, you're one lucky guy, in time, I'd rather see you buy a hundred guitars than a hundred guns...

I purchased one of these in yellow for something a little different, it really surprised me. It plays superbly, it’s nice and light, sounds good, came set up very well indeed (from Andertons). What is there not to like? Actually maybe I’d prefer a black guard with the yellow, but otherwise I can’t fault it.

I have a non-Gibson SG. It took me a while to get used to the feel of it with the head end of the neck being so far away! But now it's my favourite guitar. Perhaps a Gibson SG will be in my future but to be honest I can't imagine loving it more than the one I have. That pink one looks cool

Love this channel!! Can you do a Gretsch Players Edition Jet??

My favorite channel on KZread. The only trouble is I have no self control when it comes to buying guitars. Thus this channel may prove dangerous. For example, yesterday I took delivery on the worn olive Casino which was reviewed earlier by Colin. I love this guitar. I note I am relieved by this review as I am not likely to buy a pink SG.
