Everything has been said.
except the nitrocellulose varnish can be ... so be careful not to leave too long in contact with plastic support, there could occur a chemical reaction that would dissolve the varnish.

UTILIZATION

The handle "slim type 60" is a marvel, you have well in hand as it is wide, but in parallel it is very fine so no problem to play.
by on access to acute, the very construction of the skyscraper and the thickness of the handle make it ideal for the beast solo hardcore.
again, this SG is very light and balanced so that it pitches down, which can be negative if there is something else at the same time (eg, a guitarist singer who does not play the song in full). However, this specificity makes the shovel to fear for the health of their vertebrae (the balance in mind allows a better distribution of weight, not only on a shoulder).
for her, again, it's magic. there's a void to hear it ringing. but it is connected, it is a donut in the monumental geule. incisive, scathing in treble and bass round and deep shoeing anyone salivate.

SOUNDS

It is a skyscraper that would suit all styles of music (thank you to the "classic 57 pickups"), but it is very punchy and therefore the clean is pretty special, it's a "false clean".
I used it on different amps: a transistor (Marshall MG50dfx) and lamps (Marshall 1987x, Orange ad30htc, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe), she always made a great, although I think it speaks divinely with Orange (the basses of Orange and those of the SG marry to perfection (a must-try)). obtained with this union and an adjustable treble are emphasized or a terrible sin, the crunch has ACDC ideal for frenzied solos.
it is in this size it is best expressed, powerful and cantankerous: a sound image.

OVERALL OPINION

How not to be dythirambique is such a joy to use, it makes you want to go on and repeats, concerts, or "live in bedroom."
Everything is great on this skyscraper: microphones, wood, sound, weight, race and even the balance, although the latter may bring different views.
I play dozens of guitars (mostly Fender, Gibson, Gretsch) and for me it is she who has the most strengths.
the quality of the Beast is outstanding but the price remains that of a Gibson. of course I recommend trying it if you get the chance.
Whatever happens, I referrer to 1000 times that choice and not part with it until the undertaker me tear my fingers stiffened.
