LOOK OUT: Common Gibson SG issues you'll wish you had known about

Описание: For many people, myself included, SGs are a blast to play and, at their lower price point than Les Pauls and 335s, a cheaper gateway into a vintage guitar. HOWEVER, most of them, vintage and reissue alike, suffer from some very common issues. Know what to look for before you shop. Great ones really are out there, but looking for these issues will help you from making a huge mistake. Thanks for watching!

0:00 It’s almost cliche, but I love slide on an SG
2:21 The SG is awesome, but it has some unique issues
3:12 MASSIVE changes to the Les Paul model in 1961
4:41 ISSUE 1: the neck joint
8:07 ISSUE 2: the tailpiece
9:38 ISSUE 3: a “fix” that makes it worse…
12:24 All “bad” SGs do THIS far more than good ones
14:37 If you decide to hunt for an old one…
15:52 1965 brought some significant changes to be aware of
