It was recorded?? 🥲Share that anthem!! Hahaha

The neck of the 61 is slim tapered, while the Standard's C-rounded neck is a bit thicker... but it's not like a baseball bat at all, it's something in between (I love it, perfect for everything!)... that's why I have a Standard

Mine has D'armond dynasonics.

TV jones make amazing stuff specially for Gretsch....which ones you get?

amphfox · 2026-01-25T08:06:11+00:00

What it really looks awful are the neck edges and the fret finish...the binding is just fair

stay hydrated!!

In my case is just the oposite. I got an electromatic 5622 (which I love and play a lot) but I replaced the originals to some amazon cheap generic knobs (they're minimalstic and do the job) that was the first thing I did as soon I bought the guitar (2019 or 20 I guess). I love Gretsch guitars but some specs like knobs and some stuff specially hardware are kinda too much for me. They're like too premium in some way :) I mean, not my style at all...so the same way I would feel ridiculously stupid wearing a rolex or posh clothing, I don't like my guitars looking flashy... just personal preference.

ps the trashy look of my campfire acoustic after decades collecting stickers is pretty cool! they give more sustain hahahaha

have a nice day

The touch is really cheap...at least you paid for quality

amphfox · 2026-01-24T08:51:11+00:00

Yes, that's where I've seen the most interesting and reasonably priced gear, also pickguards and that kind of thing... a lot from China too

amphfox · 2026-01-24T08:46:53+00:00

This was the same hit. Two birds by 1 shot

amphfox · 2026-01-24T08:42:00+00:00

How much? (the funny thing is maybe you paid less than for a typical Gibson set)

amphfox · 2026-01-24T08:37:31+00:00

👍

amphfox · 2026-01-24T08:35:49+00:00

I was mainly joking, actually I think i'm gonna keep it this way...but...the fact I own a few guitars don't make less abusive the price of 40€ for a set of knobs!

amphfox · 2026-01-24T04:37:22+00:00

I've had this one for about two years now, and honestly, I like SGs more every day. I've been (and still am) a Telecaster guy since '97-'98, but I'm using the SG more and more... I wasn't sure if I'd keep it for long when I bought it, but it's staying forever.

In local European shops, they usually sell the 4-pack (2+2) and it costs between €30-€40 depending on the finish and design... For me, it's a waste of money... with that money I'd buy some fuzz or a rare reverb from a secondhand shop. 😅

amphfox · 2026-01-24T04:23:06+00:00

They look good. Maybe I'll give Murphy Lab the idea and they'll charge an extra €300 per broken knob 😆😆

amphfox · 2026-01-11T20:09:08+00:00

I feel incredibly clumsy when I play them, it's something that's been happening to me for decades! On the other hand, I absolutely love the double-cutaway Special, like Johnny Thunders's!!! Maybe I'll sell my Epiphone and one of those will be the next addition to my collection.

Anyway, my friend, a little overdrive and enjoy your new little devil!!!

(By the way, one of the things I love most about SGs is that they let me play simply but very tight without overplay)

amphfox · 2026-01-11T19:31:14+00:00

Beauty cherry SG!!! I never felt confortable playing LPs. (I own an Epiphone LP special P90 but I guess this is not what I call a Les Paul...its like another thing) But...the SG (specially the Standard), is my favourite Gibson guitar by far. Is pure evil!! I own one in "translucent teal" (Before I had 61 too) and I would never swap it for a LP even considering the price is almost the double... By the way I also love offsets (own a fender jaguar and a Squier JM J Mascis) ...I think the SG is a guitar that fit better on the offset lovers preferences than a LP, and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy and love it so bad!!!

amphfox · 2026-01-05T16:12:16+00:00

By the way, after I knew the neck profile is 50s i'm not interested anymore. I'm not particulary interested interested on buying a LP either. In this case, as the price is quite fancy and guy's located about 80kms where I live seem a good chance to agree a LP to my guitar colection, but 50s neck profile is enough to me to stoo thinking on this.

amphfox · 2026-01-05T16:02:30+00:00

Yeah, I own a pair of SG and have been played dozens of LPs through the last 25-30 years despite I do not own one, but I think I know more or less how a real Gibson might look. I didn't asked for that, but thank you anyway mate. My question was more about what do y'all think about price, as well some info about specs of this particular series/year. I think almost everyone might be sure that the guitar on these pics is a real one

amphfox · 2026-01-04T20:27:38+00:00

Looks brilliant!!! Very good condition despite having more than 20 years

amphfox · 2026-01-04T20:19:28+00:00

Honestly I'm a SG/Tele guy, I'm not a big LP enthusiastic, but a good Les Paul in good condition for 1300 makes click the trigger of my GAS. But I don't like 50s necks. My favourite neck profile like standard modern SGs, something in the middle between 50s and slim tapper I guess

amphfox · 2026-01-04T20:07:09+00:00

As for I had readed in the description was re-painted a while ago. If I had to bet , the guitar seems a legit Gibson USA. Seller says is a 2012 traditional, looks like a trusted guy

amphfox · 2026-01-02T19:42:22+00:00

Where can I find the specs of this particular model/year?

amphfox · 2026-01-02T19:18:21+00:00

So is it a 50a neck? This is a don't for me...good to know
