I've had this SG for five years now, and the guitar has come a long way from its original sound, look, and feel. If you adjust the pickups, you'll find a variety of tones; I used the factory setup for a long time, until I recently lowered the lead pickup and raised the neck for more LP sounds. Anyway, it's a one trick pony in the wrong hands, but can do many things in the right ones. Any style, any song, any gig, any amp: It sounds great. Bright, dark, and anywhere in between.

I truly love this guitar. I've had it for 2 weeks, and out of all my axes I like this one the best. It looks really, really nice. the fretboard is especially pretty, the crescent moons on the ebony looks killer, and if you've not played on an ebony fretboard, you are missing out! It's like rosewood, 'cept 10x better. and it sustains forever. The faded cherry finish sets everything off nicely. This thing is HOT when it comes to tone. As any Gibson man knows, you can get any type of sound out of them. You want Punk? Metal? Jazz? Classic Rock? this guitar can really do it all, seriously. the neck pickups are nice and thick, reminiscent of a les paul, and the bridge pickups sound like an SG should! the bridge pickup has some serious bite to it. The neck is a bit thick ( I'm used to the pencil neck of my 71' SG) and takes some getting use to, but after a couple of hours playing it, it feels very natural and smooth, and for the price, you really can't beat it. It has fantastic tone, looks hot and plays smooth. I am thoroughly enjoying this instrument! You will too.
