Papaloudi « For Those about to rock, we salute you »
Published on 07/31/13 at 00:14Made in USA is written on the back of the head ...
mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard 24frettes, 490R and 490T pickups with hidden micro black mechanical Kluson deluxe 1vol and 1 ton micro, tiny belt fasteners (quickly change with strap lock. this is nearly the description technical, ah yes, finishing little surprise, it's as if there had been a slight layer of wood stain on the body and neck, not shiny at all, satin matt but rather pleasant to the touch .
UTILIZATION
the weight of the instrument is to kick really really amazing, it's almost like a toy, super light explained by the thickness of the body (a roughly 3cm) but very well balanced.
thickness is as surprising when I unpacked the instrument I said: "The jack goes through the body, it is not possible
" but not everything is going well.
the playability of this sgj gibson is absolutely remarkable. I strato 2, I had a lp a Ibanes es ... Finally, I got a lot but there ouahhhhh what a pleasure, left hand: the fingers slide over the handle without difficulty, the action is set, neither too high nor too low, just enough to chain notes effortlessly, little play for hours, spend bends gently, slide the slides, it's magic. right hand: I often play with the hand on the bridge and neck, my mediatore found naturally in the middle pickups. in an area where the strings are neither too hard nor too soft, perfectly thunderstruck passes (it is more difficult to play on my strat) then you probably see what I mean.
SOUNDS
then the sound, yet the strings are all new, it sounds a little metal vacuum, I have not really had time to plug into a real amp but I do heat my hot rod this afternoon see it in the belly. but hey, I think I would not have any surprises, micro 490 is classic, no risk. I'm just waiting to see the sustain, and deep in the clear, crunch and saturation.
oulala after two hours of testing on my hot rod, I am in love with this SG. Clean sounds very clear, not too low, well balanced. very soft micro sleeve provided to adjust the output level with the knob flight 7 or 8. since when I open thoroughly, little crunch and good momentum. + handle easel, to find the right balance but when you mix the two, it adds an acute hair and it gives a great sound. pickup, a little too sharp for my taste but the notes stand out well. in saturation is nirvana. everything passes, acdc, Led Zeppelin, Queen, good rock 70s. a little light ben harper, amen omen, waiting on an angel .. it does. and I not pursue a funk chti chick a tio jackson five and eventually whole lotta love. Really good in a lot of records, I really do not regret my purchase.
OVERALL OPINION
overall view, this sgj is really not bad, outstanding playability compared to a strat or lp. the finish is clean despite all fine and matt varnish that reveals the raw wood is quite pretty (tastes and colors ...) the animal is any slight, but really any slight, very very thin body 3cm ( hence handling). if you want a gibson is the model to have for less than 600th, I advice this little guitar has those like me do not have to put in a 3000e instrument. pleasure is that the rock be with you.
