UTILIZATION

Channel varnish trs trs enjoyable and well finished, it glides really well, it is quite thick but it is ergonomic as it is quite round.
CHAC is the acute gnial, so that the guitar becomes a diabolical weapon for solos (the games dchain Angus will not make you say otherwise!)
The shape of the guitar and the bridge is quite ergonomic (it is a sg, but what is more classic) but the guitar tends nosedive, but the problem is less than other pronnonc sg , since it has the attachment of the strap on the horn.
Finally at the sound, although fiddling RULES everything we quickly found a sound that suits us.

SOUNDS

Unlike what his appearance might suggest, this is truly versatile scratching even if we draw the quintessence saturation and distortion. For my part, I play mostly rock of the 60s and 70s, but also a lot of electric blues and this guitar suits me well trs (when I told you it silent versatile!)
I play on a 112 W amp behringer (120 watts) plugged into a 4x12 of the same brand.
In terms of sound, we can say that the personality has a lot of scratches because of its signature pickups

In clean

the neck pickup seems most appropriate by giving her round and warm, yet not be the bridge pickup with INTERESTED sounds more clicks and more crystalline despite the fact they are a bit colder with the microphones handle.

In saturated and disto

Then l is a really impressive! gibson mics really give normment potato while remaining prcis and sharp as razor blades!
On the neck pickup when the saturation is pushing one obtains a very serious and hot fat, perfect for hard blues!
The bridge pickup is done more for him on the big distortion by giving her a powerful trs, trs trs prcis lively and that allows you to go on for infinity solos with slides and large Feedback!
The only small problem is that saturated distortion and the characters of this skyscraper has not really expressed a certain volume of the amp, and it's not gnial for those who have hostile neighbors!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week
I love the look, the comfort of games, especially finish and sound .....
What bothers me a bit is its tendency to pitch down, although I start to me: and then all Manir, until proven otherwise, when you play the guitar, it is the handle!
I already try a squier, and another sg in this price range and I do not regret my choice!
The ratio price quality seems excellent to the extent that the microphones reprsentent More than half the price of the Beast (500 euro bought from Thomann)
Before buying it, I was afraid it does not match my style musiqual, but with the exprience is sure that I would do this choice! Frankly I advice everyone!
