UTILIZATION

- The handle is particulirement enjoyable. perfect touch
- Access in acute typical design SG
- Dcoupe legendary but rpartition problem of weight (the head neck is drooping plutt). That said the lgeret on the guitar can not be so disabled by dsquilibre.
- Sound that sprang directly from the maneuverability of the handle (even with my level pretty fair), the agreement is not poss problem and the precision of the keys allow for improvisation, without the risk of picking Buzzz ...
- Attention, small default, the potentiomtres volume and tone (one for each pickup) seem a bit fragile. Finishing this level is a little pick (but serious kidney).
- Note also that the patent is not very reassuring. I exploded a little on the body of the handle prs. It's not really visible, but it's a bit frustrating when you're careful ...

I put 8 for the small problem of finish, but still a good quality instrument trs.

SOUNDS

I must admit that I have not had the chance to play thousands of guitars, however, I try some before I DCID including cort, yamaha or ibanez.
I do not know if it's one that has the best sound quality intrinsques, however well it matches my expectations trs that level. I find trs versatile (even if it is more appropriate sounds more rock). The distortion that happiness on this guitar, the clean is still more than acceptable (note that this is not a Fender either. Here it is clearly in the vein Gibson, the sound is warmer and heavier) .

Subsequently, I had the chance to play on a real SG (that of a friend who plays better than me). This is the my purchase I really look good. Indeed, even if the quality of Gibson are indniables for use as an amateur, the diffrence is far from being standard, I think that less be a guitarist a level dj trs advance piphone adequate. Attention, I probably do not say that I spit on SG, I would damn myself to be one, however, I do not find reasonable average, to spend such a budget as an instrument of guitars such as the G-400 are all made to fit our happiness. But if you're lucky enough to have the funds ncessaires ... Go for it, Gibson rulez!
But in the meantime, I assure you that what gives birth this little wonder is any evidence of Happiness.

Now if you want to quibble, I think the most INTERESTED is considering a change of pickups If you are not 100% satisfied for a sound a bit more "clean". I rflchi now and wait your advice;) because if we just do better on the cheap ... why not use it ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I m'clate it for about a year and I have been a lightning speed progress (such as what fun is probably the best catalyst pdagogique) this skyscraper is a fun machine!
- Del to its sound, its look is j'apprcie that most (not the most important plays but trust me), black is just beautiful!
- What I blame him, it is the lack at the finish (polish and connectors) but that price is really the lesser evil ...
- In a report résumé quality - great price in short, a guitar with which you can go a long way.
- I referrer that choice without hsiter I plan also to keep it for long ...
