    Level-sound, effects scaffold, but I can get what I want with no top gear

    SOUNDS

    This guitar-trs well be my kind of cad post punk, cold wave and especially the Batcave.
    -I jous hlas a 10W amp kustom because not enough money to make a best before a long time, if I have a PDAL Berhinger Vamp.
    "I obtiend facillement a cold Joy Division overdrive or distortion of fairly blatant Christian death, if not with the pedal I can get sound of Cinema Strange. Finally, to my kind, I'm really gatt and those, low prices.
    "I love the distortion and screaming overdrive, see its quite a crunch to play against by the Bauhaus, I do not like the sounds too nag-type metal

    OVERALL OPINION

    -I have been using can prs 6 months and I absolutely love my little sg cherie
    "I likes the shape and sound heuresment for me, is not perfect, if not in the least I can see what I can not really say.
    -Before I played a Cort x2 which is certainly more than the buggers sg special, but less well made and lacks charm. Otherwise I try dj BC Ritchie (I really like it) and an Ibanez that I find harder to play than my sg.
    While personal-report quality is exellent price on this guitar, it is not a CHRE and in the stomach.
    -I think I would do is choice with experience, unless my door Monnais or greater.

    Made in a communist country so China or Korea well I do not know
    22 frets, 2 humbuckers pickups epiphone open coil, Tune-O-Matic
    two knobs: volume (for the two microphones) and tone (both well)
    Channel quite late, I finally found

    UTILIZATION

    A handle VERY nice, if you want to make the slide block 12 to one without giving it more difficult than buying a caramel, it is for you.

    Then the weight, well it is a Sg so it is very light, also correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me to be the lightest Epiphone? In terms of form, well this is also an SG so we love it we love, there's no choice! sg on the other hand like any self-respecting it pitches down so do not let go too lo…

    Do you get a good sound? well everything is relative: If your friend has a Gibson, get your handkerchiefs but if he has a Chinese poor quality, then you will have the upper hand by far with this guitar violin

    SOUNDS

    Perfect for me although I think to buy a Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I play mainly punk and metalhardcore (but I've seen people playing pop and jazz on it without problem).

    I plugged into a Peavey amp 80 watts through a small Ultra Distortion pedal and I have two choices, either get her a pig who pukes dark and heavy riffs and solos that burst in the Beastie Boys (micro neck ) is a well cold would grind to a happy drunk and punk that leaves a little feedback if you set the tone above 8 (micro bridge).

    This gives her an easy to nag Madball but lowering the distortion I get out of the ACDC without porblèmes. The punk stuff out very well also

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for almost a year, this is my first guitar.
    I especially like their comfort, we have it jumps around so you feel comfortable! on the other hand I suppose it would change the pickups to navigate in the sound.

    Frankly if you do not have much money you buy this one rather than under communist shit reeks of shoddy work ... this one sounds really pretty and has a really low price for a guitar!

    This is a very good guitar for beginners and start playing in groups and when I hear it is rather moving towards a Squier start strato when I find it silly PAREC someone who loves and Sg Les Paul has always had a little trouble playing on strato: it's too different and it seems to go to the enemy too! ^ ^

    See above.

    UTILIZATION

    No problem. 2 volume knobs and 2 knobs of Tone t would be welcome but for the price we will not complain ...
    The handle is lacquered type SG 61 trs enjoyable.
    Warning: I thought the silent action of the strings high enough and I took to using the Tune-o-matic and it carrment better! Made even when attention is that strings do not border on ...
    The knobs are not terrible and we go a little bit of everything there, especially with distortion.

    SOUNDS

    Micro-bridge: It sounds good for trs crunch and saturated sounds, both for rhythm and for solos and benefitted from a good power. The rock sound is trs, trs medium but can be done all with the met…

    Micro-bridge: It sounds good for trs crunch and saturated sounds, both for rhythm and for solos and benefitted from a good power. The rock sound is trs, trs medium but can be done all with the metal.
    Micro-round: It is used for clean sounds. The sound is round, soft trs. This is the one that will be used to shred and sweeping ... on the other hand, not for its rhythmic saturated. The sound will be rough, too serious and too powerful. Too bad.
    Micro-neck + bridge: The combination of both gives a nice sound for bluesy improvisation in its crunch. In the sound is pretty clean lens, trs beautiful. I use it when I have to play a song originally on a strat jou (even when it is not the same thing, but ...-_-").

    OVERALL OPINION

    For the price it's worth, this guitar is really good. It sounds as good (see more) that most of the guitars that are sold to people who know nothing in music stores for much cheaper! This is THE guitar for those beginners who want to play rock, hard rock, despite the weaknesses of lgres neck pickup and the knobs!

    To see the technology review it before I note in considering the price, I'm value for price Note Lover's Gibson neck is screwed to the fender and unsized

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice for a guitar of this price Access to acute care is good hands shaped handle screwed and less than the original. In terms of sound is acceptable, but it's good for the price
    The sound really depends on the processing chain after all depend on your mics do not saturate quickly, go to 10 It is then in a saturation amplifier and pedal pure

    Of the grip it needs adjusting string height and also pitch. On this guitar I have not had a problem with loose parts, unlike my Les Paul Special II

    SOUNDS

    I bought this guitar for my youngest son who loves ACDC It begins and the Boss I guess it goes to the muscular rock with a clean sound this guitar is impeccable for the price.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Because it is a gift, there were no comparisons with other great guitar of this price My other son started on Squier Affinity Start is equivalent to begin, although the hardware of Squier I feel better For once I who am Gibson, I find copies of brand Leo, are better than the Gibson copies quitar Now this is 40% less than the Squier I have had A 135 Euros which is given for a guitar that has at least the qualification of musical instrument and not a toy. This copy of SG, SG is not, it's nothing to see. I play on a real signature SG is more, and we're in two different worlds This SG Special II SG look, but luxury and less. It is perfect for the beginner, or have a scratch over the harem story alternalif tuning. In terms of finishes, it's not perfect but it is an entry level. For the use to which it is intended I will ever be the choice. At the aging I do not think there will be problems. In the family we are pretty careful. At rendering the patent it is consistent with the picture, the wood grain to see well. It has made a guitar string and quickly, so maybe that one series to another there are differences. Finally, for beginners it is a sacred guitar, not a shovel as there were in my day.
