Trs trs a beautiful guitar (mine is mounted with a microphone DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge position has cast even more: D)

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs, D round it was well in hand, I find it more enjoyable than bcp sleeves Start 'Access in acute excellent. The weight is reasonable, but it should in no way release the neck of the guitar, otherwise it's the shovel on the ground Guaranteed! The guitar is too bad pitches down o the 9 / 10. In the sitting position is trs enjoyable and does not slip unlike the Les Paul. The slecteur, the tones and volumes allow to find a sound that suit all styles. But with age, for the moment slecteur has a little trouble (I descend so a 8 / 10) has not impede me since I left the microphone on acute changes but sometimes takes a bit bitognio to shake that sound so good.
The mcaniques are well made, they are good agreement. The finish is good trs in woodwork, the neck and body.
Is not to say this guitar, it has to face!

SOUNDS

Originally j'tais trs satisfied with this guitar at the sound (is that on my pov '20W and with the crap that was using a guitar before this ptite SG has not forge the ear). I started playing punk, alternative rock, metal, and I must admit that this guitar is doing well trs in each of these styles. Also note that the microphones were significantly amlior from the micro Epiphone ago qques years, the Alnico V is the best bill over the sries.
But making progress and finding my style is dsormais No-Alternative, I finally see the limits of the beautiful lady despite the purchase of Marshall ... In this case I think Dinvest walkthrough is the best in new pickups, I have to opt of DiMarzio and now the sound of this guitar is a killer!

So I'll note the change in micro performance APRS is 10/10, but it's true that the microphone is a bit garish acute and the neck pickup too rough (a mix of both playing the tone works well r results but a little mushy in heavy distortion)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than one and a half, I am satisfied with this purchase. It's really a good trs guitar when you can not type in the Gibson and that a change in the boundary microphone is possible. This is a guitar-oriented Rock but still versatile and trs possde potentiel.Je have a good pay 400 new. If I had the choice again I would do it again (but keeping in ide change microphone ncessaire silent for me), otherwise I will turn to a Lag can be Rx-200. But I think the Epi SG is a good guitar when you start to dbrouiller, j'la advise ^ ^
