After watching your videos playing the Epiphone SG, I went out and bought one. Love it.

[mikemercer]

I have one of these in alpine white, and I think it's awesome. I have never been a fan of the Epi Les Pauls, but the SG can be magic if you get a nice one.

[JP-jysk]

Great riffs! I freaking love the old school riffage and the mid-gain crunch. Yes!

[eljefeguapobarbon]

Mine in Graphite Black is so much fun to play and sounds killer too!

[jordantaylor]

Awesome review and playthrough! Using multiple amps is something I wish more reviewers did. Keep up the good work!

[siwusek]

Good work man, really inspring riffs and conclusions - cheers

[szymonhoubowski]

I really like your channel. Cheers from Poland :-)

[frankieabril]

My main guitar, currently under construction/ a little bit of a makeover, is an epiphone SG standard. I always like the way they looked and never got into it because I had longed dream to, but no I needed something that could play heavy and looked cool. And seeing all the fender heads out there or Les Paul heads, I realized it was me and my SG against the world. I've had so many compliments on my guitar after people have played it, not necessarily beforehand or anything but once they've grooved with it they can really give it the props that deserves. And I respect you for not lying about the guitar not speaking to you but I truly bond with my guitar and I don't feel like for even one second that I'm missing out on something by not having a Gibson. Quite honestly to a point I feel like a Gibson could never play the way mine does and I mean that in the sense that it can't play as good as mine can. I'm sure on paper can but this just something about my little baby, so I saw your link about what you're going to be reviewing and I had to make sure that you weren't going to be lying on your video lol. I don't really know your channel that well and don't think you were going to lie but I like standing up for my guitar and he did great justice portraying it sounds and pros and cons. Great video sorry for the long comment thumbs up I shall check out more of your video videos after this comment

[frankdardano]

Good playing, original noodling around comes up when an accomplished guitarist plays for his own enjoyment, not just for learning or practice. Thats when breakthroughs happen. PLAY ON MAESTRO!

[willman]

Great video. I don’t like the way Nitro leaves my hands feeling oily. I prefer poly. That said, I prefer the Gibson over the Epiphone. It’s a catch 22.

[Pastor_Grant]

The new headstocks make Epiphone look way better. They are doing a good job lately but the one I picked up at Guitar Center was NOT GOOD but with a good setup maybe it could be something nice. My Gibson 61 reissue is probably the most comfortable best sounding guitar I've ever owned.

That Hughes & Kettner sounded ridiculous. Seems like a perfect match for the SG. How much gain were you using, just curious?

[XlouietheflyX]

From my experience with SGs that tuning issue is the neck moving. This happens on my Gibson SGs with the '60s slip taper neck profile. Various bridges.

First off I’m a blues player and I’m left-handed and I have a hard time finding Guitars that I like I bought a Kramer it said in the description on all websites that had Alco pick ups so when I opened it up there ceramic ceramic are way too Bitey for blues

[jameskennard]

If you had to choose between the epi sg standard or the classic worn what would you have for metal, I play rhythm mostly doom and death, but play around with other sub genres

[MrRaErickson]

I have the epiphone sg and love it. Is it worth upgrading any of the hardware in your opinion? Better pickups and tuners? I don't feel it's worth upgrading to Gibson in my opinion

[bivotarshamble]

Nice backing tracks dude 😬🫦🕺
Also, what are the 5 tunings used ? I Amy know a couple, but not everyone would 🧐🤔🤗😬
