bluemoon02 « excellent sg »
Published on 04/18/14 at 08:06everything has been said, emphasize all the same type slim handle 68 fine and fast. bought new in March 2014, its aged cherry color dress is the most beautiful effect.
UTILIZATION
the grip is nice, the guitar is light and well balanced, standing or sitting it does not sting the nose.
the handle end and a little narrower (more than my fender) on the first boxes requires time adaptation even for my small hands. the nitro lacquer grip somewhat, it seems this is normal, it is necessary that the instrument aging and patina.
its microphones, classic 57 in the neck and angus young signature bridge, give it power, sustain and precision. the volume and tone knobs are effective and portend a rich and relatively varied sound palette. simply plug into an all-tube amp and magic immediately.
SOUNDS
Contrary to popular belief this instrument is not confined solely directory guy who affixed his initials, I chose it for its quality of violin, ergonomics and micro classic 57 in the neck position. I play mostly blues and classic rock.
connected to a vox ac30cc1 a jtm60 marshall or even a fender blues junior, the sound is breathtaking, the micro bridge just waiting to do battle once one attack openly. its propensity to sustain and promote acute inflamed solos, she released the mix easily. lowering the tone you get a nice bluesy sound.
rhythm position selector in the middle, playing on the natural drive of the amp sounds found british guy led zeppelin, cream ... or U.S. such zztop and others ... just turn the knobs. combination of the two allows easy rhythmic-melodic playing, the agreement holds up well in the bass and lower midrange, notes played are slender and distinctly audible. all offer a nice balance and a rich sound image.
the neck pickup (my favorite) is fabulous! it is warm and round (unless a les paul though). with the tone he went to zero and fuzz sounds that remind you could hear gary moore in particular. it is susceptible to attacks and allows fine and subtle phrasing clear sound or big, fat drive.
the sound is never rough, it remains balanced and accurate in all circumstances. I use it with, besides the modulation effects, a TS808, a mxr distortion +, a little muff or a fuzz face ... I still get the blues rock sound sought.
OVERALL OPINION
I was the owner of a gibson les paul studio (sold quickly), gibson sg a special and various Epiphones (sheraton, les paul), I had come to despair humbuckers with which I was never really satisfied not. sg with this I made a 180 degree turn, it allows me to play in more péchus and fatter than my fender registers.
the only dark cloud on this idyllic picture such as "Luncheon on the Grass" (also known as the "square part") is ... the price! 1600 euros. must nevertheless perspective, it is certainly expensive but at this price there is a sg excellent compared with other proposed models. gibson has left many in 2014 at attractive prices but poor. the standard is slightly less expensive than angus young signed but better read the technical sheet to avoid disappointment (see microphones and materials used for the handle).
I would do this choice (to the extent possible because it is a limited edition), especially when I compare it with other models with humbuckers. her elegant gown aged cherry ending to convince me.
perfection is not of this world, I will end on a flat button on pins lightning bolt that I do not find very classes.
