I got my baby at the local guitar center for around 850$

I nicknamed my guitar "Blitzkrieg." Why? Because that's what it sounds like. So deep and chunky sounding. It sounds like Satan (in a good way, of course). It is just so powerful and can knock people of their people. Every note is oppressive. Great for chugging and grinding. The pick ups are great and very versitile. Very good sustain as well. The crimson color caps off this evil piece of machine.

Hmmm...*scratches head* This guitar is fairly delicate. It may not SOUND delicate...but it is. I already chipped it a few times and I treat this thing as I would treat my own child. Just get a hard case and you'll be alright.

Very well thought out construction by the Gibson folks. I think it was a good idea to have the cut outs all the way down to the 22nd fret for the high notes. I also appreciate how easy it is to restring. Just push it through. There's no nonsense down there.

If you like deep, dark, powerful sounding guitars that never stop putting out, get the Gibson SG. It won't let you down.
