Gibson SG Std vs 61 Std

[GearGasms]

I see a lot of people ask the question: What is the difference between the Gibson SG Standard and the Gibson SG 61 Standard? I'll try to answer those questions in this video via extremely poor playing coupled with a complete lack of personal charm.

Isn’t it neck carve and pick guard?

Larger neck profile on the standard with bat wing pick guard.

Slim taper neck on the ‘61 and tear drop pick guard.

Neck carve, neck joint, fret size, tuners, pickups and pickguard are all different

Seems to me pups and tuners could be different depending on year?
Never realized the neck pocket and frets were different.

I’ve owned six.
However, only one was a standard, four were ‘61 and a CS ‘62.

I’ll have to watch the video!

A 69 double necked SG would have been more your style.

The thinner neck on the 61 sg is fantastic. I've been really happy gigging with mine. Great guitars
