Guitar made in Korea, 2007.
22 frets
Stop-bar tune-o-matic
2 volume knob, tone knob 2 (one for each humbucker), 3 position selector (treble, middle, rhythm)
Mechanical groove
Of all good, we approach the gibson.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, access to acute is fantastic, Angus will confirm;)
The guitar is not especially heavy but pitches down (to remedy it I use a strap suede approaching my clothes ...)

Sound: Micro-round draft enough, is added to the acute but hey you do with ...
Micro-bridge well Rock'n'Roll 60s, 70s and blues it's very nice ...

Finally the sound is not bad at this price but I think changed the Gibson 57 'or Seymour Duncan and my guitar can compete ac a real SG, for a more reasonable price!
Otherwise I think the strings are set too high so I'm going to change that!

SOUNDS

This guitar is more appropriate to Blues / Rock, Hard Type AC / DC but for the drool metal mics too! For other style of music, your way past ...

Marshall MG30 DFX with it sounds great, even with the original pickups.
The SG sounds warm and fat with the bridge pickup, but too serious with the neck pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, I am rather very SATIF.
I love the retro style, the price ...
I immediately hung qd I tried it in stores after an SG special is rather for beginners. This is my second guitar after a pale copy of Start. The price / quality ratio is very honest, I think I refer this choice willingly.

For those who dream of a Gibson SG sublime, cheaper and exellent with new pickups!
