In this clip from The Collection on Gibson TV, Paul Stanley of KISS sits down with Mark Agnesi to take a closer look at a Gibson Custom 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG Standard that proves you don’t have to buy vintage guitars to get the best tone.

Paul shares how this Gibson SG from the Gibson Custom Shop quickly became a go-to instrument in the studio, even serving as Tommy Thayer’s primary guitar on recent KISS recordings.

Watch as Paul breaks down what makes this SG special, from its all-mahogany construction to its thick, throaty tone and comfortable neck profile, delivering everything he believes an SG should be.

Listen to how he compares this guitar to his Les Paul, and how he feels it offers a different sonic character with a slightly less pronounced top end and a more mid-focused response that shines in a studio mix.

But there’s also an emotional connection to this guitar, as Paul also talks about how his first real electric guitar was a Gibson Les Paul SG, making it a full-circle moment for him.

If you love Gibson SG guitars, love KISS, and want to hear how Paul Stanley’s love of the Gibson SG started, this is the video for you.
