SOUNDS
This sound is very unique and extremely different from the normal Gibson Les Paul tone. It is a versatile and very playable guitar that allows its use to reach the upper fretboard with ease. This is a guitar that is a tribute back to the original SG I came out almost 50 years ago. I absolutely love the town of a Gibson SG P 90 pick up installed. This is the kind of guitar that I am used on numerous recording sessions personally. I love the black ebony look of this guitar matched rosewood fretboard. The P90 pick ups are at at an outstanding pick up to drive a good clean distorted sound. This guitar is very well balanced and warm . The balance of this guitar is very good as well being at the price point that Gibson is asking for this guitar.
I love the sound of this guitar match with a good Marshall style amplifier. The two just blend and mix perfectly to my ears. I wouldn't trade that tone for anything.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find these guitars new online or at your local guitar shop retailer for right around the price of $799. This is a great deal for what you get out of this guitar. The P 90s are great pick ups and I wouldn't change them unless you are upgrading to seymour Duncan P90 pickup. I recommend this guitar to anyone who doesn't want the girth and thickness of a Gibson Les Paul tone but still wants that articulate mahogany wood driven guitar sound. This is a great guitar and a fairy comparable priced guitar for the budgeted consumer.
