Hold onto your hats, guitar nerds! Ive been on Youtube for a year as of today and I wanted to make a big ol' video commemorating it. I took four current iterations of the 1961 Les Paul (SG) - A Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul Re-Issue, a Gibson USA SG Standard ‘61, an Epiphone Inspired By Gibson 1961 Les Paul, and an Epiphone SG Standard ‘61 model - and ran them side by side and explored as many details as possible to see how they compare and contrast with the (almost) actual model from 1961!
If you've ever been in the market for a '61 inspired SG and want to know probably too much about it, then this video just might be for you!
