"SGreat Luv" by Paul Vigos from Athens Greece
10/21/2003 5:00:42 AM

Style of Music: rock
Hometown: Athens Greece

In my 30 years musical experience I consider that I should own an SG and a Les Paul plus a strat and a tele. I managed so by adding 2 years ago an SG std black. The result is that the strat was forced to be sold, the Les Paul -though it is a great guitar- is about to be sold mainly to the heavy body. Maybe the tele will be hold a second option. The SG sounds fantastic. My play field is mainly R and B and rock. Playing the blues, I discovered a better fat bluesy tone with sustain and while playing rock I managed to improve my speed. The fret board is very "comfort" and the large frets help a lot.The greatest surprise was yet to come. A fellow of mine who is a jazz player and "archtop body" lover tried my SG to play some classic Wes' tunes.... I could not imagine that a solid body guitar could play even better than an expensive 335 or super 400. get one

"The Best" by SGuitarist

There is no better guitar in the world. I have played Fenders, Esps, other Gibsons, just about everything, but nothing even comes close to this guitar. It has the smoothest and fastest playing neck that I have ever played in my life. The sound is awesome with incredibly good distortion and the cleanest sound I have ever heard. Plus it looks awesome. I don't think there has ever been a better guitar.

"Totally tubular music machine" by Henry O.

Style of Music: Rock/EMO/Jazz
Hometown: Wasilla, Alaska

I bought this guitar a week ago and it is simply amazing in every aspect. The tone is incredible from jazz to blues to metal and back again. Clean, this guitar is equal in every way to a Les Paul and the super sustain is truly something to behold. Plus the SG is so much lighter than the Les Paul it's like a hummer and BMW... sure, they are both nice, but what would you rather drive? Best electric for any price end of story.
