In this Gibson SG buyers guide for 2023, Dinesh walks us through the differences between Gibson SG models, exploring the Gibson Original Collection as well as the new Modern SG collection. Dinesh plays through the sonic differences between each SG model to help you find the perfect guitar for your playing style. From the classic, biting tones of the Gibson SG Standard 61' to the hardrocking SG Standard model. We're covering a lot today!

Kicking off with an explainer for the Gibson Original Collection, Dinesh guides you through the unique characteristics, feel, specifications, and tones of each model and what makes them different, including pickup configurations, tonewoods, neck shapes, and more. If you are wondering how to buy or what to look for in a Gibson SG, whether the original collection SG or Modern collection SG is "best" for you, start here.

Watch as Dinesh shows us the difference between the 61' Maestro SG's, the Gibson SG Standard '61 faded Maestro Vibrola as well the major differences in sound of the Gibson SG Special with P90s compared to humbuckers! Wondering if you need a Gibson Modern SG instead? You'll love the sound of what the Gibson SG modern can do with its Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker Pro+ pickups!

Finally, make sure you stick around for the bonus section at the end of the video because...SG players, we heard you!

With the recently released Custom Color Series, Les Paul players were able to get the sound and feel they wanted with more color options. Now, SG players, it’s your turn! We are thrilled to announce the new Gibson SG Custom Color Series including the Custom Color SG Standard and Custom Color SG Standard 61.
