All user reviews for the Gibson SG Special Faded

t says it all

UTILIZATION

the handle is not surprising when you did the custom of SG.il is flat but it is actually enjoyable trs
The guitar is very well balanced because neither too heavy nor too lgre.
Guitar compact hyper enjoyable.
.

SOUNDS

The sound may seem flat and too dry at first ... and then eventually little by little he found the personalit.Le its SG is typical, drier and sharper than its older brother Les paul studio faded.
I had gone to buy the les paul studio faded (I recommend also because of the price c trs trs is clearly the best LP of the market SOUND IS HUGE)) and I left with the SG has a sound much less open, less fat, which is less powerful BUT BUT BUT that much more personal.
Guitar is very endearing sounds better balance in the lp studio that has seen enormous bass "caricatured"

OVERALL OPINION

j I tried a lot of the guitar before buying and for 450 to 500 euros second hand you can not beat a less be an expert in violin and recognize the right of the canvas timber bad wood because the essential RSID in the violin and violin that SG is good trs.
As for the guy who said below "I think the epiphone is as well ..." that is to say ... No matter what a Les Paul Standard 2300 is EUROS c is the flight OK but say that c is a gibson just as well that an epiphone ...!!!!!

I do not know who said one day "to the rock must be a sg and marshall" but he was damn right because I have the right branch in the five class marshall and ahead guinguamp!

The Gibson SG guitars a fantastic sounding instrument that has a ton of versatility and dare I say more versatility in the iconic Gibson Les Paul guitar. These guitars are extremely iconic looking into themselves. They have very familiar double cut away body shape that resembles devil horns away. Their body shape is a little bit thinner than the Gibson Les Paul is certainly their neck scale length is a little longer and it's you can reach the higher frets much easier because of the cut away in the body. These guitars have a really dynamic sound and very focused sound but still fall in line with the voicing of the Gibson guitars in general. I find that there are frequency range is a little bit more in the mid range and they really excel in life recording applications much better in my opinion and give Les Paul instruments. Overall they're a dynamic guitar and they sound fantastic and pretty much any setting an application that you put the men.

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

These guitars really do well any high gain type amplifier settings. So these guitars mixed with a Marshall or Mesa boogie amplifier than you're really to find that perfect sweet spot with these guitars. Since they have two hum buckers installed you find that giving them a load of saturation and distortion really excel what they're capable of doing. These guitars don't really sound that great in a clean settings such as a Fender clean or a Vox clean, but when you put them in a position to drive to get tube saturation than you will find out how capable of hard rock tones these guitars are able to handle. They sound great in pretty much any setting but they really have their sweet spot and what they're built for any high gain application.

OVERALL OPINION

You can find guitars pretty much anywhere Gibson guitars are sold. They're not quite as readily available as a Gibson Les Paul guitar but they're still very popular and pretty easy to find. You can also find these on most eBay and auction websites but I suggest combing through the classifieds in your local city or your favorite online forum to find one of these instruments. You can find great deals right now because of the gear market prices are so low and there's a lot of deals to be found on these particular guitars. I highly recommend these guitars anyone looking for a great Gibson sound and needs a great guitar for recording or live use. These are players guitars and they sound great on stage as well as any recording session.

I purchased the Gibson Faded Series Guitar for my son when he had his 16th birthday. He really loved the guitar and so did I! I love the split coil pick ups! its awesome to be able to get the sound that i want! i really like the slick back on the neck also! it makes sliding up and down the neck alot easier! if you are a serious musician and are in the market for a nice guitar you can't go wrong with the Gibson Faded Series, not to mention that its affordable. We all know how good it is to have a nice guitar on a tight budget. Also, this doesn’t have to be for a beginner, I am not a beginner and feel that this is a great guitar and its well built.


UTILIZATION

The pick ups are phenomenal and the switching is incredible. The Faded Series Gibson can get thick full jazz sounds or thin telecaster sounds and lots in between. The action is great! I wanted a solid body and got one. Nothing chambered or weight relieved here.

SOUNDS


This gives a very full sound, I do not like the bumps in the media microphones as Seymour Duncan SH4, so I'm happy to have a micro balance! In terms of parasites, it is nothing compared to other guitars home I could try! Microphones terrible!
I love all the sounds of this guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

It's comfortable and it just fits me. I can play it for hours. When my son plays he plays it through a Bose L1 with 2 base bins and Digitech GNX4. The Faded Series guitar is flawless. The plec neck is great and the action is smooth as silk. My associates are always looking to use it. The guitar is making him a better player. Lots of people enjoy only the look of it, but I love the sound it produces.

Gibson instrument company has been the leading instruments for the hard rock and metal guitar tones. The Gibson Les Paul guitars, Gibson explore guitars, and the Gibson SG guitars has been a vital contribution to the hard rock and metal world. The Gibson SG has a great look and a very iconic look that is very distinguishable from many other guitars. As a great feel and overall great tone for pretty much any style of music.

SOUNDS


The Gibson SG has a very solid warm tone. It features mahogany wood in the body and in the neck. You get a rosewood fretboard on top which I will balance is out the guitar very nicely. It's two humbucker pick ups some really drive the sound of this instrument. This is a very cool guitar for or playing hard rock metal but it also cleans up pretty well in at probably a little bit better than a Gibson Les Paul guitar. Sushi use a clean amplifier it will get you a lot further down the road to get some Les Paul guitar can get you. Overall this is a great guitar for the money and solid sounding instrument for most music.

OVERALL OPINION


I like these guitars because you can find them very easily and in most guitar retailers. It has a great feeling a great sound that allows you to be creative and incentives. I like these guitars well because you can reach the higher frets much easier because of the cutaway body in the center body. It's a lot more comfortable to Gibson Les Paul guitar and allows for easy soloing. You can find these guitars for right around $1199 online and in most guitar retailers.

A guitar factory in the United States I think.
22 Frets, 2 humbucker gibson
Fixed bridge
2 volume and 2 tone
A handle big enough but at least we know he is! (Perso j'adore!)

I put 8 because desfois to use that I made 24 frets would not refuse and also the frets are a little Exceeds the handle, but my luthier me fix it.

UTILIZATION

As said prcdement, the handle for me, it's a habit, but what jaime round handle big enough (be careful it is not a log!) But the freight is not great, arrange to do so by a luthier ...

Access to acute is phenomenal!
Ergonomics? Ba I find it rather confortable.Super fairly slight, not a form teachers to play sitting as standing.
A slightly bent when playing standing but nothing very serious and with a good strap is more problem!
T get it easily on a good sound? Ba depent I think it especially of the amp. That said it sounds a vacuum bien.Elle already has good sustain.

SOUNDS

I find this guitar very versatile.
I play a little bit of everything: funk, rock, blues, heavy, pop and a jarrive always find me sounds more or less suitable.
I play on a dsormais Powerball.En settle many, there are ways to do just about what you want, just know after playing (ca, ca is not by rule against, I'll have to work)

It has a super distortion, it sends severe for good big rhythmic metal!
The clean is great as I trouve.J uses it to this one over the microphone dailleurs serious that I find very soft, very round.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for almost a year and a half, this is my first real electric guitar.
I'm starting completely satisfait.Au I apreciation no more than that, especially with the history of freight asssdbordantes the handle, rough, and also the action of the high ropes well.
But after a good adjustment, I rediscovered! Super guitar!

Before I try to try a stratum, an Lp, but on this one I was a good flash so OCCAZ

The report quality price? Ba we know that gibson is like to ruin us!
But hey it is cheaper than a standart and it allows the sound davoir gibson at a lower cost.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice ?----> If this is to take a standart or a high end guitar with floyd 24 box, yes I would do this choice without hesitation! Superb scratch

In rsumune guitar asser "raw"
If I can do a lil comparison, I'd say it's not the big mercedes full option with aircon and everything but it's rather a good lil roadster that gives us a lot of sense

Made in America
22 frets, two humbuckers gibson (I do not know the exact REFERENCE) slecteur with three positions and four knobs, of which Gibson
pais round (but not as much as my old les paul studio that she had a real tree trunk) affects bne, pleasure
9 / 10 because perfection does not exist

UTILIZATION

Channel hyper enjoyable (profile how, I could not tell you but it will be the limit motion), APRS jou have for years on Paul, I feel play a round super late, but it's super enjoyable
Access in acute, it is easy? Are you kidding it's the SG nomdidiou we speak!
Lightweight, frankly, it's a joy to play standing up without breaking the bank back
This gives a good sound a little tampering, but once you found the rglages Idaux can not touch anything
M'enfin of Gibson's nothing wrong then

SOUNDS

Ben in terms of rock, punk, hardcore etc. passes without a problem, the death thing thing I have not tried it must be said that not my thing
I play on a peavey bandit 112 amplui I sound great, now I have to test the bte lights on an amp, a real thing, and should have its dchirer mm !
As for cons I find a clear sounds blah, but said the other, got a question

Shift of 24-02-05: I return to my opinion clear on ons: APRS have tampered a bit SETTING THE my amp, it was clear sounds fantastic position with the middle of slecteur .. . anything goes: ska, reggae, great arpges ...

So I go back on my notes and I put 10, shame me for having doubted
I assume m'enfin good

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over a month and it's too the joy of playing the shovel, I sold my les paul studio so I could buy it ... some members of AF will tell me that I tar am but I was tired of me typing a slowdown vertbres APRS RPET a guitar lgre So, that sounds great and not trs CHRE that you ask for? Oh yes, if Gibson was nice to think t sell a tui in addition to the can (I bought mine from) would have a t top (how did I quibble? ) ...
Yes I do it again this choice but I have a lot of other guitars at the top (I like the Duesenberg flyin'V form, I think they have a mouth and a terrible sound of hell), but the SG haunted my dreams for super long, I am happy to finally have it

Manufactures in the United States, Nashville if I'm not mistaken.
22 frets to the microphones, these are Gibson 490R and 490T (even if the seller told me that the bridge pickup a gibson 498T silent, I am prfre rfrer site gibson .)
1 Volume 1 Tone and microphones for every
the handle is wide enough, it can quickly trs predre confidence, in addition, it is fast trs!

UTILIZATION

Access in acute is more than easy, the fingers 22 reach the box as if the c'tait biensur 5 which is impossible on a Les Paul.
the guitar is trslgre, trs enjoyable to play standing. If you play low enough, the head falls to the ground if we loose the handle, it is important not to!
to get a good sound, you just plug it ...

SOUNDS

Completely, c. .. ROCK!
I play a Fender FM212 and I use as a cry baby wah wah, nobody dares to use a sound effect is so beautiful just by plugging either plain or saturation
Sound, what about her ....... I branch clean channel and I had the sound of Jimmy Page on Stairway to Heaven, op, I go into the saturated ... PFOUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa ROCK SOUND! AC DC, Led Zeppelin when he plays on SG, in short, THE sound!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been a little less than a week, I tried a Fender Stratocaster and a higway one les paul.
The report price is exellent quality, can be a bit expensive ... but US oblige.elle guitar as good as the standard, see best for me because it is a cellulose varnish, breathable wood , in shiny patent contrairemen the standard, it may be less beautiful than the standard for some, it's true, well ... m for 600 euros less than the standard abortion can be the same sound, m my form, as many quality finish, you had to choose ... I put 9 because perfection does not exist, even if this guitar is idalie for me, it will be may be not for another.

See opinion below
Official Website or GIBSON ( )

On the note, you can not fault this guitar much at CHARACTERISTICS: It is very simple and versatile but nanmoins complte.

UTILIZATION

I will our answer to the questions in order:

- The lack of varnish "traditional" makes the handle quite so smooth and enjoyable trs trs to the touch. This is typically a handle Gibson therefore quite pais, what j'apprcie.

- Access in acute favorites is the shape of the body, but it's not really a choice for me CRITERIA, as I play some solos trs.

- Like all the SG, it tends to incline to the ct of the head, due to the lgret the body (it's crazy I'm surprised every time!). Also the guitar is trs fine, I do not like, I frankly afraid of breaking the handle on scne, it seems to rev fragile, but it is common all SG.

- Trs empty it sounds good, a lot of sustain and great DJ's in the round

Lutherie:
This is the weak point of the guitar. In a word: Lament.
Finish unworthy of the name Gibson, it seems to hold hands a low-end guitar. It's simple, it looks like the guitar direct out of the tree trunk!
No binding around the neck, pickguard mount approximate volume buttons and horrible tone (the same as on my old epiphone 300th!).
Prs of the instrument is not beautiful it is clear, we can see the manufacturing default, the default timber, etc ...
in short we expect more for the same price when.

SOUNDS

I tried it in the store on a ENGL Savage 120 and a baffle ENGL 4 * 12 Mt in V30.

The sound is simply amazing (well for me): burning, round, fat. LEGENDARY!
There is a serious omniprsence on the neck pickup, which may dplaire some, but personally that's all what I want.
The bridge pickup is still responsible for midrange and bass, and sounds trs trs hot.

I will not m'tendre its sonic possibilities, I think it should mostly blues and rock or heavy rock well saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it for 1 hour in a store and I t's the charm, but shocked by the violin.
The quality of manufacture is trsdcevante and it is clear that with this MODEL Gibson plays its brand image to sell MODELS "middle range".

Never I would not buy this guitar, I prfre SAVE and take the Standard that it possde trs a beautiful finish.

In the same price range, just to compare MODEL Schecter to realize that Gibson does not care about our face.

I believe the United States produces 22 frets ... .. 4 buttons, 2volumes, 2 Tone switch with 3 positions.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs trs trs I find enjoyable and Access in acute is as a joke ... It is trslgre and snugly against the body well. For audio, simply plug it to make it sound ...

SOUNDS

I play on a Peavey 112, and as I have an MXR phaser effects and a Boss Chorus Ensemble ... J'volue style rather funk .. The sound with the phaser dchire everything and with the chorus c not bad either! This scraper has a wide range of sounds, even if the database type is more for rock and blues.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, I love its shape and unvarnished wood, c softer than standard which is varnished. At the time of purchase, I test as a telecaster higway States, which made me change my mind, the touch of strings it is terrible on the Gibson. The report price is good quality becaufe look like much when even a c US ... I have no regrets at the moment ... Only default, it comes with a cover and not a box .. it is a shame for a guitar of this price ...

ATTENTION, JUST NOTICE hilarious but NOT RELIABLE
Made in the USA of course.
This guitar rve possde 22 boxes and the key is rosewood.
the pickups are Gibson BB King signature as the standard, except that both are 490 (instead of only 490 and 498 on a standard, but in fact it's just a technical question of numbers turns).
the bridge is classic gibson (as in Standard or Les Paul) just so annoying when changing strings, but trs strong bill and easily adjustable.
there are 2 volume knobs and 2 knobs of Tone (1 for each pickup).
The handle is of type gibson is that large (like a guitar folk) but flat (compare the curve of the fender to the handle of a strait trs).
body and handle (al are 100% mahogany, which is one of the secrets of this skyscraper.
I put 9 in this section.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable: it is surprising to dpart for fender habitus, but you get used quickly and is easily playable and Access in acute is remarkable (especially because of Typical double cutaway).
The ergonomic design is perfect, it's a beautiful guitar-shaped and weighing trs light (about 3 pounds) which makes it more maneuverable than a Les Paul (one of the reasons why I have SG preferences, in addition to their nervosa.
micro severe (rhythm position on the switch) can be used for clean sounds (in any case is what I do) is your exact nickel.
micro acute (treble position) for saturation (100% spell ACDC).
DGIG it a warmth and incredible sustain of this guitar (it vibrates when fully in cheek ... never seen with another).
For me perfectly and I put 10 for this section.

SOUNDS

She served for most of my directory pop / rock as well as clear that saturation.
Y is for fans of neo and heavy that it can find its limits (in which case I suggre not to change his pickups but to take a 2nd complmentaire Specializes scratches).

I play on Marshall amp (on which it captures its qualities sr, mine is a hybrid Valvestate 8240 stereo chorus), but also Hughes & Kettner Matrix 100, also a combo, where it wreaks havoc coupled e a multi-effects (Korg AX1500G).
It can therefore, Fawn trs versatile, playing virtually all styles (except neo and heavy and even with the support of a good multi-effects).
There is just the position of the switch in the middle which I've been using forever.
I put another 10 on this section

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months and do not regret this purchase.
Originally it was intended to be my second guitar (I have a fender stratocaster dj US standard 1973, american series equivalent of today) but it quickly became my Premire guitar (having increasing the usefulness of the dual humbucker).
The SG Special Faded is a report qualitprix excellent.
I got on thomann ... 849 (10 shipping): attention, this case may disparatre gradually (they start up a little dj prices ...).
I would do that choice after 1000.
on the other hand I found the standard too CHRE from this special, even in the VPC (plus I do not like their big varnish, which enlve to sustain: the special has a thin cellulosic mine keep a natural tone of wood: MODEL WB).
The two 490 are enough for me to get my sound (pay 300 more for a varnish and a 498 does not tempt me and make me sign away MODELS).
I put 9 because perfection does not exist.

Made in America, Nashville.
22 frets, 2 humbuckers, 490 R and 490 T.
The neck is mahogany, as well as any guitar.
2 volumes, 2 tones, a mic selector.
Comes with a reinforced cover, we have some regrets for the price of the guitar to not have a case.
mine is a worn brown giving it a very pretty face, but it is also available in red.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, a little broad but me it is fine with me, it is very fast going from the second to the 15 box a snap.
The access to treble is super easy, requires sg.
The ergonomics are quite good even if it looks the head but you get done quickly, with a good strap.
This guitar is very light, feels good on the back, it is for this reason that I prefer the les paul sg.

SOUNDS

This guitar is perfect for my style of music played on a rock fort.Je marshall avt 50, it sounds super good, clean sounds are beautiful, the distos serious lourd.Cette sending this guitar is very versatile can play virtually all styles except the big metal can be hard, but otherwise it's a killing.
The clean sounds have my preference even if the distortion is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, I am very satisfied.
what I like most is the sound it out, the handle.
The value for money is good although I think the gibson ones.
400 euros for me than the standart one has the same sound, or almost. Some will find that the lack of polish is unfortunate but I love her like her.
I do it again this election 1000 times.
The only downside may be that the head looks, but overall it's a great guitar.

It is the classic Gibson SG is a pure and simple ... Mine is "color" Worn Brown and I found a beautiful ... Bne is the key, I think it's not so common and current The models have rosewood fingerboard.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a highway, very enjoyable and not tiring at all. It is very lgre, more than my SG Standard. Finally on the famous dsquilibre heads of SG and spice nose that I was never so bah derrang but ...

Sound: it's plug and play.

Me my only regret is the lack of cover on the pickups: Installed guitar wins Aesthetics ... The mcaniques are catastrophic and I regret that the head is not a little better finished (including logos).

SOUNDS

The sound is magical ... but has hardly much to do with that my standard is less fat and more mellow ... Finally I am very pleased with the two (as Sg addict) but you need to head that faded sg is a party model with its Entire CHARACTERISTICS, its sounds and above all its charm

Personal love sounds as clear as crunch Fuzz or very saturated, so ... I find it very flexible and versatile trs. I go from funk to rock to jazz or rock ind carefree.

OVERALL OPINION

Great guitar, very nice and cute as hell. It would be my back up and finally I lug around everywhere.

One must admit one thing: price 1100 euros for this guitar nine Pigalle is an abuse. I got 600 euros OCCAZ 'so no worries of ct for me ... But for 400 euros plus the standard provides a clear finish suprieure + a tui. A MDIT ... But as I said a small mouth, and the characters for 800 euros or less, it will go for it

Objective approach:

Body Species: Mahogany
Species: Mahogany glued
Profile: Rounded
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Scale Length: 243 / 4 "
Nut Width: 111/16 "
Inlays: Pearloid Dot

HARDWARE

ELECTRONICS
Neck Pickups: 490R Alnico magnet humbucker
Bridge Pickups: 490T Alnico magnet humbucker
Controls: Two volume, two tone, three-way switch

Subjective approach:
The guitar seems well finished, the look is sober. The standards are boisures (so good if you prefer). Electronics has been welded properly. The wiring is good. The absence of a split is not tolerable for this award.

[7] Because no wood or high quality vintage, no split.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not a reference. A little too big to play really fast (or as long as it used to be).

Action string too high of origin. Manufacturing defect on the 14th fret. The band bites on the edge. Two frets are taller and have had to be polished to diminish the action. All of these elements, for that price, are unacceptable.

Mechanical standard nut of good quality promote an easy tuning. Holding long-term agreement is less impressive than the average for other guitars us.

The guitar looks on the head and balance to play sitting is questionable.

The versatility is limited by the absence of splits or "phase switch".

Released by-instrument against a clear impression of strength. The varnish seems durable and the handle slides well.

[3] below average in this price range

SOUNDS

Very nice in this exercise. The pickups have a beautiful personality and a nice smooth defined in the meaty crunch. It rewards the user with a balanced body and beautiful mids. The saturation is very good provided you do not push the gain on the bottom. In this case, the sound becomes runny. This is disappointing because it is far from winning a prs or a warrior or a custom tokai.

[7] as very pretty guitar though a bit limited by its specificity.

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar with a very good reputation that will pass any loser in a God on guitar. Indeed, I felt it magically attracted the attention of young audiences, even if it is lower than many competitors.

My guitarist bought it and used it for a long time. I often tried. Since the purchase of his tokai, it no longer uses it rarely, so I could borrow this tool for my studies.

This is a guitar correctly, which runs at a good Korean guitar. It has a very strong personality and his influences are pleasant sound. Not really practical, it has some defects unacceptable level for its price, but its reputation is well worth the effort.

I do not recommend this purchase.

[4] a little below average, this guitar will delight fans looking for the gibson sound. The rating is severe because I replace it in its price range or she is miserably crushed by many of its competitors.

Made in America, body and mahogany neck
22 frets, 490R and 490T pickups two

access to acute virtually unbeatable, it is hard to do better
the grip is perfect profile for a weight gnial trs reasonable GIBSON
the sound is a Gibson, a ring right away for me no pbs, a big sound quite heavy in fat and saturated and a wonderful clean sound that is just enough of the same dr

SOUNDS

Lightweight for rock or hard trs its reputable no longer do, I also used to blues and has been super serious
I plugged into a VOX AC30CC2 with just a VOX wah-wah, I take the direct saturation of the amplifier with VOX and the panel is standard and SG magnifies everything the extreme
clean sounds are quite drs and remains serious for the saturated fats they are heavy and aggressive if we push a little bte, I am a dan blues-rock style fawn bluesbrakers, Yardbirds, Stones , U2 and Hendrix MASTER I know it's fender but I do not like him then sonnerais ...
the highs are a bit withdrawn but the amp easily be corrected
I love the serious WHOOOOAAAAA

OVERALL OPINION

For a week I bleed your fingers on it, I can finally compare it with my Ibanez SG 74 bigbsie (MODEL 2377) and although they did a great job with Ibanez, but the two are completely different (see my opinion on 2377)
I do not go around, but we often talk about the lack of rigor in their Gibson guitar I am happy to rev this purchase, I love the sound, the look, the extremely jouabilit good
I never REALLY jou on Gibson, I sduit
Report qualitprix excellent for me since bought new 550 in the United States directly with gigbag
I would go back with eyes closed in spite of what can be said and worn brown finish is really beautiful

United States manufacturing
Mahogany body + !!!!!
22 frets
Gibson 490R and 490T Micro
Tune-o-matic + stopbar
3 position selector, 4 knobs .... normal ...

The varnish is very thin, leaving the wood to breathe, giving p'tit cot "old shovel"
most enjoyable!

She is beautiful!! THAT'S ALL !!!!!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a real treat, even for fenders!
Access to acute perfect (SG requires .....)
Sometimes I even try the 23rd box ...

It is light, stings a little nose, but frankly, you get used to very quickly

SOUNDS

So I take home with me ....
I look a little (and shed a tear of happiness)
J approach my marshall JCM 800 ....
verified that the neighbors are missing, or if any, they prepare to die very quickly ....
I am the branch ....

And l. .....................

......... Pooooouuuuuuuwwwwwaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

It sounds severely gibson! and those who say that the faded, it is a "sub-gibson" (and I've seen written ....), bah I say he probably knows to use it po!! !!!!!!

In saturated fat and the sound is heavy but relatively clean tjs
Clearly, it's worth FENDER not for sure, but it stands up very well ....
There's the sustain !!!!!!!!! (Requires mahogany)

I'm bleeding fingers pdt qq hours

I believe that even a penguin could make out the sounds of the enormous shovel!!

Much cheaper than the standard or the classic, the quality is really good

Go ahead guys it's all good !!!!!!

I put 11 because I could 10/10 in.

OVERALL OPINION

No more blah, it's very heavy, it sends STRID wood.

If you hesitate .... bah .... hsitez and buy more, you will not deus !!!!!!

Question caractrisiques any technical adj t say not to add more pene.

If I make a few remarks, the handle 22 boxes is a bit short for me I prfr a 24 but hey you can not have it all. In addition, mechanical pos me quite a problem: they are sensitive and trs must turn to millimtre cl prs under penalty of being wrong (in comparison with m Fender Stratocaster MECHANICAL). In addition, the agreement required to be desired sometimes leaves a question - dixit the grant of a music store - the cover of the rear mcanique which relaxes the pressure on the mechanism relaxes and guitar is dsaccorde. I have personal exchange for Grover (Start type) and wait to see what happens.
[edit]: The Grover walk wonder she is much better agreement than before.

UTILIZATION

Overall no problem except that I bought this guitar departing esprant be able to play faster than on my Start ... and oh surprise! the handle is much more impressive than I thought ... Nevertheless it is a matter of habit and they get used to it quickly. Another prjug jumping, I find it heavier than its reputable collgue Despite its featherweight.

Access in acute: This is a SG I will not draw you a picture.

The interface (knobs, selector) is easily accesible and settings, I find the transition much better than on my Fender, can be changed even during a game if I can give you a small pipe, personally I ' uses a saturation powerful enough (but not heavy metal either) and I drop the volume potentionmtre one of my microphones (often the handle) to a third of its power around. It allows me to get a smooth edge of the Crunch in the neck position and was able to pass a more instantanment aggrssif by changing the position of my slecteur.

SOUNDS

Then it is that the real fun begins:

Quite simply, exactly what I was looking for. Being given that the microphones are humbuckers (double coil), the sound is fat, feed, and round.

In Clean, the neck position allows getaways Bluesy Jazzy even for the most tmraires with a little compression and a little reverb is a rgal. I rarely use the bridge position clear in his position I prfre intermdiaire that adds treble without losing the warmth of his grave.

By pushing a little knobs of the amp, one comes across a small very nice Crunch families who done its rle.

And if you still feeds a little bte, we arrive in the area of ​​prdilection of this guitar: the sound is raucous tantt SOMETIMES in the neck position as a razor blade in the bridge position, in short, a feast for all Rock 'n'Rolleur respectable.

Personally I play rock with a big gnral preferences for the years '60 '70 including "The Who" with guitarist Pete Townshend was one of the most famous Gibson SG users Special. I play lots of blues and also I trs open all kinds of musical influences. I t surprised by some poyvalence this guitar without galleries that of a Stratocaster (try to play a funk on SG ...) is of the same honorable but more importantly, this guitar lets me perfect to fill the gaps of his colleague from the standpoint of sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for just under 6 months and I'm really pleased: not only the look but it is mythical and more trs a good guitar from a price.

With the exprience I would do this choice because the sound fits perfectly my expectations, it said in a guitar rock sound without compromise but capable of subtlety that her look fabulous not let prsager .

United States manufacturing
Mahogany body +
22 frets
Gibson 490R and 490T Micro
Tune-o-matic + stopbar
3 position selector, 4 knobs

UTILIZATION

Channel ultra pleasant.
After 1 month of use I am still as much in love with my guitar.
Without access to acute diffucltes, although far from being comfortable on this part of the handle under normal circumstances.
Perfect balance, guitar very light, sheer bliss able to move scene.

To which is sound, it's become its really very good.
For the style I play (punk hxc) I think we hardly do little more appropriate.
Big sound, but precise in all circumstances.
Happiness.

SOUNDS

As said above the sg correspont perfectly to my style of music so fond of hardcore punk, try to buy it (I did the one with conparaisont Ltd Ec 1000)
There really is no comparison.
I play on a line6 spider 212, I'm not a fan of this amp but the guitar sounded, and even though so there's no problem to hand.
Big sound distortion specific (micro fever is a pure delight) and a clear and accurate net clean, I ask nothing better.

OVERALL OPINION

Months that I use and I have almost nothing to say, if is is the fragility of the guitar on the back (belt buckle refrain).
Large scratch (no problem but first seen against the light: /)
Anyway nothing serious and cu his side and the rest of the guitar (violin nikel etc ...)
Value for money very honest I board any guitarist looking for the big sound, please do not fall into the big sound tros (esp emg 81 and Youpla).
In hindsight I would remake that choice without hesitation.
Go buy it soon

Hi
This American is very good for those who start with a spineless mytic guitar or even be a low-cost pleasures I have a personal day flying v faded I m not open because I've also had a cot gibson les paul studio and a 76 certe explore it more enjoyable to touch the faded but she raproche baucoup of gibson of legends.

mount tun o matic bridge are relatively fun to play and are EXCELLENT with these micro gibson I think have a 498r and 500t as on exploring 76

UTILIZATION

Handle the relatively enjoyable also a finish one can hinder a cause can not polish a painting, an any case still super light but also the weight n is to share this dish standing when she fell from the front and is obtained by a super against his thanks to the micro gibson

SOUNDS

Such a versatile guitar in every good death metal and black metal s abstenire or micro meter of death.

I play on my Marshall JCM 2000 amp tsl100w faded with the beautiful sound of saturated fat than a clean super-sounding hollow and round

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last 3 years I m not in full but I pensse c is an opportunity to buy a guitar at the conclusion of a very good guitar ente high end for me a guitar to keep the advantage is that if you make a stripe or a shock you're not disgusted n

the -: to finish or low price
What is not sold in rigid fly box

the +: the sound
same as the cover is thick ass

a choice that I would do it because having a well c but not two

Everything said about the t CHARACTERISTICS below.

-1 just for hiding away microphones. would have had more face again.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a vritable killing! Neither too late nor too big. An happiness comfort with the near absence of varnish. We feel fine wood, soft touch is trs. The hand slips on the handle very easy even in that sweat a lot, not like most of the varnish.

Access to acute is simply shameful ease. It really is THE rock guitar solos.

The ergonomics are perfect, unlike my piphone G400 which had a strong tendency to pitch down by RAS. The guitar holds well, it is lgre (even more than my lgre G400). The only guitar I have that rivals it in terms of lgret is my Melody Maker.

And for his see below!

SOUNDS

So the point is the crispness of the BTE.

Really great versatile even if there is no split of the microphones. We can go clear sound terrible a big distortion.

I play with a ToneLab Plugs into a Power Engine 60 and it was the foot. With the versatility of the ToneLab and SG I really can always play without any worries and with a good sound trs.

I prfre all of the same guitar in a rock record trs and hard rock. For the ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones .... is that of happiness.

Also note that the knobs are progressive trs, which does nothing more night in the versatility of the beast

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months that I have and I will not let go.
I love his mouth, versatility, and the well recess!
I also played on a Gibson Melody Maker and an Epiphone Sheraton. Each has its field of prdilection complte and wonder!

The report price is gnial quality for those who like me would never have allowed to slam more than a guitar in 1000. The economy made by Gibson on the finish (varnish faded notament) make the guitar trs particulirement affordable and beautiful! We can see the grain of the wood.

It is clear that if I were to lose it and then resume the SG I Do not hesitate a single second. It is a unfinished SG vritable tape the eye but the sound and feel are l.

I have worn in brown roots and really! I love this scratching.

So that's final grade 9 because of micro caches absent. some STRID but ... ^ ^
At least in this price range is unbeatable, rare for a Gibson.

-22 Frets
-490R and 490T Gibson humbuckers
-Tune-o-matic + stopbar

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable and a great ease of ACCS to Aiges (heel less massive than a Start for example) the guitar thanks trs Legre its mahogany body and Vitera the "back pain for two days" APRS a concert ... Trs sound and also enjoyable, we make a Gibson SG! Not need to be a pany to be found in this instrument ...

SOUNDS

I play pieces of the style AC / DC, Guns N'Roses ... Finally all that is close to the Hard Rock, Blues, Punk Rock ... And also the sounds are good, aggressive but not too rough draft and keeping all the power of the attack that one is in serious or Aiges and with any micro ... Harmonics come easily, I play on a small Marshall amp and a transistor despite the lack of quality of the amp (have to admit ...) retains all the guitar has power, but if it connects an all-tube ... So it's the paradise!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought only a month ago and I'm madly! The look is devastating (even if I'm not a fan of the color) ... At this price the it would be stupid to miss. Dej with test models SG Signatures, Standard or GT, it is clear that despite some ides reues this guitar has nothing to envy "high" ... And we never will say that Faded is a "sub-gibson" ...

For CHARACTERISTICS, see below for advice more than complete.

I find mcaniques not terrible, they are super "sensitive", it is played to a quarter of hair to ring true, but nothing dramatic, with a little patience you get there.

Faded finish is, in addition to being beautiful, very practical, because no wear as little claws on the classic glazed finish. It is very enjoyable, the guitar does not take a ride over the months.

Warning: I have version Worn Cherry, and I saw when I purchase a large enough variation in color in this color, some from cherry red to the right support (which I like too), on the other going to the darkest red "wine lees" (I love). So it's worth it to compare several guitars in several stores before making his choice.

9 because of mcaniques perfectible

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, it looks big enough the very first time, but soon we will get tired more. In addition, Faded finish makes trs enjoyable and does not seem afraid of sweat.

CHAC in acute SG, so no problem.

ergonomics issue, we bought this guitar are not equilibrium but his mouth is clear. The game is not standing problmatique, even if it's true that it stings a little nose, but it's still reasonable. The game is sitting ennervant, the guitar tends to slide towards the rear.
10, even if the balance is not perfect, is not it a buy.

SOUNDS

Ben if you find not a good sound with is that the problem is derrire guitar and he tries to play with

It is perfect for what I play, ie a bit of everything.

I will not dcrire dtail all in what other opinions dcrive much better than me just say that I really like the position intermdiaire, I find it makes a heavier sound very beautiful.

10, no explanation, must try it.

OVERALL OPINION

I am delighted my little gibson. It is a favorite, and I do not regret one second. I love everything about this guitar, with just a BMOL for mcaniques, but so small.

report quality price is excellent, not to finish that faded, in addition to earning money, the patent will not take lots of little claws in two days.

I would do if this choice? hsiter without a second, so my only regret not having had before.

9, because nothing is perfect ...

Look a little further down says it all! It dcriron you better than me!

UTILIZATION

I find the handle enjoyable with a good trs Access in acute, passing from the first fret at the last no difficultj'ai t surprised by its weight, it really is not heavy , the change in my jackson performer! are readily available in good sound a little prs all styles.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music is punk rock, punk, rock but I think may suit Dotres kel musik style because this guitar is played on a polyvalente.Je Fender FM 212 R ki and the sound comes out suits me well! You feel a little something to clean it even when we play that the Difference of other guitar.Pour a fat one puts the rhythm guitar on the position and for a more clear position on the treble is all con rglage and with some of the amp gives it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days and I am surprised at the trs enjoyable guitar! Ke I've seen people complaining about the finish I find it really OK without the patent gives its style has really at its mouth is really good! I find that the ratio quality price is good and I trs remake that choice without consulting hsitation and I fortemen this guitar!

All been said

UTILIZATION

For the comfort of game I like too, the handle is frankly not easy, but you get used to.

The balance of the guitar is not great because the strap attaches to the back. Finally, what is a SG.

SOUNDS

Very good roots well, there's nothing wrong about that. It sounds very professional on a good amp.

OVERALL OPINION

But beware! I of course, negative opinions on the Gibson faded series, but I still made the leap. AND I should not have. The build quality is downright poor for a guitar of this price. Imginez the mechanical break, simply (after 5 years of normal use, and I'm careful with my instruments). Just that it speaks volumes about the candle-end economies made by Gibson to line their pockets.

But it's not all the dirty adventure is when I wear it to a pro for a setting. Answer: I can not adjust the truss rod is broken !!!!!! So I'm thinking, never fallen, I blunder when I carry it, so I see it. May well be a little bit by it but if it breaks so fast it sucks.

Fortunately it went well finished in cash converters because they are not always very clever ... Then they took him for a SG special faded ... not

So here, I know that this guitar gules a hell, but if you can not take the true it seems to me that other brands (esp, epiphone) make them similar. In short go your way.

Made in the USA
22frettes, humbuckers without cover (490T in the bridge, 490R in the neck)
Fixed bridge in two parts (tune-o-matic tailpiece +)
a volume knob and one tone by micro switch 3WAY
Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard markers with just "point" white.
Mahogany body (available in red or brown, natural finish), very fine polish, black plate, guitar sober.

UTILIZATION

It took me a while to get used to the handle big enough, the hour of cramps behind me when I paid an American Stratocaster, I struggled to play a round as thin and with so little taken ... So he surprised by its size but you get used to playing regularly and developing a suitable technique!
Access to acute perfect, you can go up to the last fret without concern (the advantage of facing the SG Les Paul ...)
The weight really is not excessive, the form is terrible (always remember Angus Young ...)
The sound ... It just comes! Really good pickups fitted as original equipment!

SOUNDS

The advantage of typing in the "low end" home Gibson is at the cost of a good Epiphone was really good microphones, while in Epiphone, we look great, but ultimately not very good microphones and electronics not always on top ...
At least with Gibson, I am alone! I changed pickups twice: first a Gibson 500T, but it did not suit me, I preferred to replace the original microphone that really filled me with its relatively low output level for a humbucker and balance frequencies ... I finally decided to pay me a Classic 57 in bridge, and it sounds a hell harmonics with a shovel and perfect balance of frequencies! As soon as I would have the means, I'll put in a second bridge! When the neck pickup, do not go too much because it has a fairly consistent output level which is not always pleasant to give nuances crunch ...
I play everything, with different sounds (clean, crunch, crunch boosted, lead) and it provides in all areas! I play reggae, ska, funk, blues, british rock, punk and sometimes a bit of hardcore / metal, and can do everything! Then the sober look in fact quite a scraper mat! I play on an Orange Rocker 30C with two wah (Dunlop and Vox) and a Radial Tonebone Hot British, and it sounds A LOT!
This gives a very full sound, I do not like the bumps in the media microphones as Seymour Duncan SH4, so I'm happy to have a micro balance! In terms of parasites, it is nothing compared to other guitars home I could try! Microphones terrible!
I love all the sounds of this guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought used for 550 €, two years ago it was not brand new, but I gave him back a shot of youth (the opening round, flycase SKB, change in micro short ,...) I have pampered!
I love the look, the finish (very simple!), The sound, in short, everything! In terms of comfort, it comes with practice, not easy at first so the handle is thick!
It was the first Gibson I was testing, purchased without the plug, I was not disappointed (I've been a Epiphone Les Paul 100 SG at this anyway ... What leap!)
The price / quality ratio is really great, used it even better!

With experience, of course I do it again this election! In fact, I'm in my plans to pay a second (or the same color, either red, I do not know yet) to mount a different config micro (EMG P90 or two ...) but I 'have time to come and see!

I love the guitar now!

Described again and again, mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, mine is enameled in yellow (not the most common color), virtually no varnish, mechanical Gibson deluxe knob good progress, micro 490 R & T tune o matic and stopbar, Made in America So much for objective description.
More subjective, the finish is truly indigent without roots, it looks like an sg low end of the sixties, except that when one looks closely, it is really well built, no adjustments on the economy (the junction body / sleeve is perfect), the frets are perfectly in place, the dots are beautiful (real mother), the multi-ply pickguard beautiful and mechanical components are nickel, this side, it's good Gibson.
Delivered in gig bag (yuck), but hey, is that price is not too much to ask (€ 569) Epiphone even in this range provides only the shipping carton.
Finally, should not lie, that the SG level closer look and finish of a Melody Maker view of an old junior as an SG Standard.
I put 8 / 10 because I like the style roots, but if you prefer the style gilding everywhere, binding, inlay and beautiful varnish, then she deserves just because 5 and still very well built with quality components.

UTILIZATION

To be clear, the handle is a massive opportunity that invites the user to literally get into the solos of John looonnnng cippolini ... or has the hard rocking riffs of three agreements on the manner of a schoolboy in Australia.
The feeling of lack of varnish on the handle does not bother me, but surprised at first.
Standing for the game not tested, so I do not know if the head looks dangerously like his sisters, but hey, I do not think there is any difference at this level. For weight, however, its lightness is a plus, no fatigue perspective unless they cut a twig!
The two tones match perfectly and are quite progressive volumes idem.
The action is low, the tuning to the air to hold twice after two hours of play, in short, it does it well.
And hop, 8 / 10, and it is deserved.

SOUNDS

First, there are some prerequisites to be met, namely, love rock, so far ok, but not any .... Instead, the 70's rock trend because voila, the scratching sounds very seventies (unless it ?????). be me Both have a 490 output level rather significant, the high-flown humbucker, there's not to say, the home of Kalamazoo can do micro ...
The sound is not that of Paul's, more wiry, no fat, the muscle that .... But not the shwarzy muscle, no muscle-no, the muscle has the Iggy I would say, dry nodosum, just ready for the street fight ...
So plugged in my JTM on clean channel, it delivers a slamming, scratching a volume of 2, the sound is not really clear, not cloudy, then the greater the volume of the guitar, the more extensive becomes Crunch and hawking, a bottom knob, you can limit the change from OD .... but happiness ...!
Canal boost engaged, you get a more creamy, more fat, but not commensurate with a Les Paul still, I would say more old school Hard Rock (yes, like kangaroos in shorts .... But not only, get personal enough with the sound of stones during the tour 69 ... yum!)
In short, the grain Gibson to wear (almost) all scholarships, "Can You Hear Me Knocking" as if you were there, "High Voltage" and why do more when three chords are enough ... .. etc..
Personally, slight preference for the neck pickup, do not ask me why, I find a hair cell my taste, that's all.
Here, it is not the best pair in Gibson (I much prefer the 57 or the Riviera of my P90 from my junior) but they go perfectly with the guitar and forms a truly endearing.
8 / 10 because if all the scratch is less than € 600 had a sound of that quality, Would there less crap in the stores ... and fake!

OVERALL OPINION

Bought on the spur of the heart (the color worn over a Yellow giving it a personality similar to a junior) I would do this choice without any hesitation.
For the past have had an SG epiphonienne, the difference is enormous, despite the rustic and not over limit, you have in your hands a real instrument, and this sensation is immediately palpable.
So it certainly does not flatter the eye or the ego, but the sounds that come out are first choice, the exact opposite of her cousin Korean (I even talking about the G400 I tried Chinese there is little ... a disaster ....).
Oh and I forgot: LET THERE BE ROCK!
