USE

Handle is a little thick, which helps to sustain, comfortable
Access to acute very easy as all SG
The weight of 3 microphones well counteracts that of the handle. It does not sting the nose.
Excellent ergonomics ideal weight (neither too much nor too little)
Having this impressive both the battery and some dsuette 3 microphones, plaqus or surplus (that is also what makes its charm) can limit the game mdiator, or at If the feelings of the right hand. However, we made it fast.

SONORITS

The sound? Both typ SG (Gras and just slamming) and very original thanks to the contribution of the middle pickup out of phase (as on the Strats). Many consistency in all combinations, but also a lot of precision and clarity. The single coil is good PAF humbucker clear and powerful, the intermediaries positions, that is totally original, like a Strat that would be super boosts, both clear and thick. Cel actually a hand model, very versatile, with sonorits not found on other models.
It opens new possibilities vritablement.

NOTICE GLOBAL

This guitar (bought by chance on the internet a person for whom it was redundant) is really original, without falling into the excesses too unusual sonorits. There is always the consistency of sustain, the precision, an aesthetic. It is an instrument both very classic and broadens the possibilities of the usual field. To have had two former DJ, (one that I regret eternally) I will not replong for standard microphones SG 2 new generation, and the models very loud- -end which I do not deny the qualities priori, are not my door. In the current context of supply Gibson SG3 this pageantry as a bargain for enthusiasts of beautiful sonorits, looking for a very well made instrument without being provided obligs sell "the farm and the horses."
