Just click here autentic a Gibson SG U.S. standart of 68 (or 69 I do not know).
But it is a very rare model, because it left a copy with Bigsby (as in the photo.
The frets are almost nonexistent now, but it gives a new style of play, I find even that pleasant.

UTILIZATION

We will say that I have not really tested at the highest potential to be, because I bought it less than a month in Britain, a person I remertie particularly by his kindness and generosity ( AF Member)
and I had to part with it for a while because I had to go on a trip to engleterre, not want to damage it ^ ^!

basically I had to play it only 3 days .......

So much fun to play, it's a pleasure!

Thick handle on as normal Gibon, access to the latest frets is vrément décncertent, one can place a solo dimebag's without any trouble (as long to get used to fret a little flat).
In weight I think she tends to lean slightly forward and is unlikely to be a little heavier than normal SG, I have not really compared, but it seems to me. After adjusting the height of the microphones, I come with an equal volume (2 years ago completely different, so very very ch * ant), but the most interesting is vrément the big difference between the microphones. The bridge pickups us out of acute pest but with little bass and the neck pickup gives us a round, heavy, hot and very serious (see a little bit too much). the middle position so new offers an assortment of these two sounds, very pleasant to listen, and play

SOUNDS

Noise level, I was able to know exactly pa potential
for I have only tested on a fender vintage lamps 100 watts (still beautiful beast) and on my Marshall 100 ac valvstate a Line 6 Uber Metal .... and sounds, there was, c vrement beautiful ...

but I am still waiting to return to France in September and resume rehearsals with my band, but this time with a pearl of love! (How beautiful ....)

Ben I play mainly heavy rock, metal, so we can tell which is the case, even if Dean or Jackson should be better now in my game
As I said previously, a lot of bass on the neck pickup and a lot of Acute bridge pickup. So use one at the same time is quite complicated to find his ideal. After some time I managed to find how to use them instead of using the two, so now it's a real pleasure.

OVERALL OPINION

I use only 3 days as I told you, but I fell in love.
I am also in search of the stem of vibrato that was lost by my dealer ... (Very hard to find)

Quite a change has to do (especially mechanical level) but hey, that's when you see a retailer that gives her at the end!
1000euro-and in good condition, especially knowing that it comes from Britain, Morbihant, she has already suffered changes in temperature, very beneficial for the resistance of the guitar

PS: excuse me for spelling I'm on an English keyboard, and sorry no accent!

I use it now for just over 1 year and a half, and what I like about it is ... age. and yes, playing with a guitar that has lived so long with the pet of all the side, she has lived. and it feels!
The least is that I find it a little too rock shot 80, while playing with the metal is not unpleasant, we do not find the same sensations. that is why I would not put 9 and 10.
I left so I have not tested many different models, but enough to know that what I have here I like. I refer this choice without hesitation. Us an opportunity like this does not represent like that. especially 1000euros (which is priced the same, not necessarily within the reach of everyone) I think it's worth it.
