Plug one of these guitars into my amp of choice, Line 6 Spider V60 MKII, same amp that I own, or the new Line 6 Catalyst CX 60, or Catalyst CX 100. How well do the pickups hold up on this guitar? Also, if I ever plug this guitar into a Line 6 Spider V60 MKII amp in Guitar Center, how well will the pickups sound, if I go to the insane setting on the amp? Super stoked to try this guitar out at G.C. I wonder how well this guitar will handle a set of Dunlop Heavy Core strings on it. Perhaps, the Jim Root Signature 6 string set, that allows you to play in Drop "A". And play all those heavy Slipknot riffs.

I played one of those when they came out, and yea, they weren't nearly as impressive to play as to look at. Whenever I find a Gibson I like, it's one of the best guitars I've played, but most Gibsons I try are just alright and almost never match the price tag anymore. For what its worth, Fender doesn't impress me that often either. Epiphone is much more consistent for me. If its a model I like, and the neck shape even remotely matches what I'd expect, it's usually great. My favorite recently was actually one of those P-90 SGs, even in green like yours. Only got to try it once though before I went overseas for a while. I also like the current Les Paul Juniors.

For the price and me never into a tele, something to kinda try….. to see if I liked the body and sounds, it was good! And I updated the pickup and tuners. And it’s a guitar I actually love now😂. Like I said, it won’t compare to the fender I wanted, but for the money, I thought to myself “I’ll just wait for now” the neck was actually good for $89 at the time i played some guitars 600 bucks, and this one felt better. ( maybe I got lucky) But I even bought a new nut, but felt no need to change it after the locking tuners ,it was good for what it is and left the original one in.

The neck keeps pulling down and gets uncomfortable. With the damage in my shoulder, wrist and hand from my accident I can’t play it for longer than 5 minutes without pain in my shoulder and the constant pulling up on the neck while trying to play is a pita… I may go to Chuck Levin next week and play the standard again.. but for the price I’m not sure it’s worth almost $1.5k more than the Epi. I’ve heard many…. many times Gibson owners saying it may take several Gibsons to find one that “has it”… not sure if that’s true but I even hear pro musicians saying it… so buying used sounds like it could be another pain in the butt… I’ll be honest, my Ibanez JS2410 is quite literally the easiest playing guitar I’ve ever owned. The pickups, the feel, the balance, the neck profile..it fits like it was made for me…Joe and I are built v similar, I realized that when I met him. And he’s my first guitar hero… so I’m thinking I’ve found “my guitar”… really don’t need a Gibson just to own one… though it would be cool to inadvertently find one that I could connect with.

@@chocolatecookie8571 I have had 5 baritone guitars and have not encountered that as of yet. If anything to me they sound more full and deeper even on high e….but it’s true that everyone’s hearing is different. If my left wrist and hand weren’t so badly damaged from my motorcycle accident, I could play 7 string baritones more as I love their tone.
The Kiesel necks are a bit wider at the nut than the nuts on Ibanez guitars. I don´t believe the ESP is wider than that of Kiesel. Also the body of the DC7 is bigger than the ESP or Ibanez. Kiesel is not my favorit brand.
I picked up the cheapest tele style they had, I bought it back when I was looking into a fender ultra. It no way compares to the fender…. but, they are not trying to do that. For the price and me never into a tele, something to kinda try….. to see if I liked the body and sounds, it was good! And I updated the pickup and tuners. And it’s a guitar I actually love now😂. Like I said, it won’t compare to the fender I wanted, but for the money, I thought to myself “I’ll just wait for now” the neck was actually good for $89 at the time i played some guitars 600 bucks, and this one felt better. ( maybe I got lucky) But I even bought a new nut, but felt no need to change it after the locking tuners ,it was good for what it is and left the original one in. They are cool guitars, they get a lot of crap, but bought another, and was surprised, and left it as is.
Mine will stay stock. I really enjoy playing it just as it is.
How come you don't play it at all so we can hear what it sounds like. Very strange to do a review without even a strum.
bet it sounds like a strat with a humbucker
I did a video same day shortly after I posted the reviews. I forgot to upload it. It’s being uploaded as I type this. I got busy…building a friends guitar
All I play are Gibson and Epiphone guitars. My Gibson SG (Duncan Distortions) and my Epiphone Prophecy Extura (Jim Root EMGs) are my absolute favorites. Change those 57s for something hotter for sound, and if you were gonna keep it, sand the neck.
I just played the SG prophecy in blue. Very cool guitar
i have the same model with the stock pick ups. was it easy to upgrade them?
Yes. Absolutely. The Duncan TB5 custom and Jb neck sound amazing in this guitar
Never met a Gibson guy that crapped on Epiphone. Not saying they don't exist, just think that's pretty rare if they exist. Most Gibson guys are just guitar guys and all guitar guys want 1 of everything.
I found the same thing about the neck. sent mine back and bought an epiphone 61 SG instead
I think that’s where I am now. I fell in love with the new Epi Crestwood custom…
Thanks for sharing looking good sounding good
Thank you. Filming with my iPhone really sucks sometimes…it’s the darn auto focus lock!!😂
Thats some baby makin music. 🎶
Sounds Awesome !
Thank you very much.
It seems like gibsons are just collectors items now and epiphones are the players guitars
I played an Epiphone Crestwood custom today. Less than $500. I’ll be buying one. Fantastic guitar
Yeah, those of us who play Gibsons are just collectors and not players…. The real players play Epiphones. Got it.
@@jcwoodstl I don’t think that is what he was saying. I believe He was referring to the guitar not the players.
Does the body being so thin affect any kind of tone or sustain? I’m looking into getting this guitar and I like all the specs, I just wanna make sure the thin body isn’t like it’s only downfall haha. Also, how does it hold up in lower tunings? I generally tune to Drop A or Drop G
That guitar's made for low tunings. Scale length and pickups are well suited for that stuff.
What's the price of This Gibson?
Knew it was the most expensive SG… used market $1200-1900… the one I purchased was $1700
That is such a beautiful green.
It really is a great little guitar. Also the stock P90’s break up well without getting nasty. Epi really stepped up their game.
@@Thenon-mediocreguitarist interesting- my experience with Epiphone is quite limited, but this sounds promising. Enjoying the channel mate.
Got to be honest, as a Gibson guy, those hps aren't for me either. Love my standard though
The neck keeps pulling down and gets uncomfortable. With the damage in my shoulder, wrist and hand from my accident I can’t play it for longer than 5 minutes without pain in my shoulder and the constant pulling up on the neck while trying to play is a pita… I may go to Chuck Levin next week and play the standard again.. but for the price I’m not sure it’s worth almost $1.5k more than the Epi. I’ve heard many…. many times Gibson owners saying it may take several Gibsons to find one that “has it”… not sure if that’s true but I even hear pro musicians saying it… so buying used sounds like it could be another pain in the butt… I’ll be honest, my Ibanez JS2410 is quite literally the easiest playing guitar I’ve ever owned. The pickups, the feel, the balance, the neck profile..it fits like it was made for me…Joe and I are built v similar, I realized that when I met him. And he’s my first guitar hero… so I’m thinking I’ve found “my guitar”… really don’t need a Gibson just to own one… though it would be cool to inadvertently find one that I could connect with. Thank you for the comment and watching my video. I truly enjoy making them. The most fun I’ve had in a long time.
@@Thenon-mediocreguitarist if the epi is the one, stick with that, absolutely nothing wrong with them at all,they are great guitars. I love the look of that green classic,and it sounds great too, I've also got my eye on the Pelham blue special, one of those two definately next on the list!
I bought this P90 sg a few years ago. P90s are probably my favorite pickups. Really liked the green so i had to have it. Sounds as good as any other sg i have and i have the Gibson Tony Iommi monkey and the last issue of the epiphone black Tony Iommi sg. I did put a switchcraft toggle in it and mine was 379 when it came out
I’d come home with the satin green p 90 Epi SG myself. I also am not a Gibson guy or typically like to play them but I’ve always liked the sgs.
E2 Quality seems to have gone way down while the price has recently skyrocketed. I got mine new in 2016, It came with 707s and the finish was incredible. EDIT: Re watched and saw you bought used, but still. The New E2s aren't what they used to be.
very nice man!!!!!
Thank you very much…
Thanks for telling me about guitars, Robin Williams.
I’ve heard that more times than you could possibly imagine.. lol
