24fretsjk « A real SG, no complex! »
Published on 12/30/12 at 11:46This is a U.S.. Say it right now, it is a Gibson SG and for possessing the Standard, I'll try to be as objective as possible.
When choosing a SG, this is primarily for its easy handling and access to particular frequencies. But also, we will appreciate its weight lighter.
Regarding the settings, a volume knob and a tone knob for each microphone (490R and 490T).
And its vintage look gives it a charm and the rest, I mean the sound goes with it, and I'll post.
So 10/10 for its features because we do not ask more for a guitar.
UTILIZATION
A really convenient handle and a Quick Start (22 frets). The typical form of the fact that the SG is good with a very good balance, and lightness enhances its maneuverability.
Followers solos are always delighted. This is my fourth SG faded, one I had equipped pickups Gibson 500T and 496R. What made it a good punchy SG with such microphones.
But the one I just bought will remain entirely original. Earlier, I referred to the standard that it is painted with a micro bridge a little more powerful (498T). But in the end, the sound faded reveals a much more natural, more aggressively. You really feel that there are more layers of varnish to muffle the sound too. And I am very sensitive to ergonomics and finish, I must say that the lack of polish does not an SG at a discount. And then, months have raspy hands, slide the handle alone.
Simply plug it into a good amp and it is on an old Fender or Marshall else (but I do not forget all the other brands ...), it sounds immediately as it should.
10/10 here too, because the SG is known for its ease of handling.
SOUNDS
You can play any style of music, although his favorite is the rock and good saturation. But being a good little blues is a treat, and play with the volume knob is a breeze.
In fact, I sometimes play without plugging. And even empty, as it is full of energy, we feel that it is made to please us.
For my part, I play mainly on the micro bridge, but lost with the micro neck from time to time makes me think it is quite attractive.
The SG has a typical sound and very personal. I love it, and as others swear by Les Paul, the SG remains for me the guitar fetish. It is as if you were talking with someone who you would feel immediately much sincerity. Well, this guitar is quite right. It shows you immediately what she is able to provide. That is a lot!!
As said earlier, I decided to give him his original pickups because they fit him so well. So ... 10/10 sound level, no problem.
OVERALL OPINION
So I use the SG faded for many years and I'm tired. And I'm talking about his so-called fragility. Sure, the lack of polish weakens a bit. My Faded SG still remained intact for the little we take the minimum of care (a guitar does not throw and is delicately ...).
Over time, she slips a bit and that's all the more charming.
I respect the purists "GIBSONNIENS" which are very sensitive to the finish at the same time the quality, but at age 46 (and many years of guitar), I understand that we should not necessarily put 2000 3000 euros or a guitar to burst out and SOUND.
I redid the choice for this guitar several times and I still do it again, because with a price / quality ratio like that, well as incredible is the foot.
Already available new, we find at truly affordable prices used, and it is as beautiful version in Worn Cherry Brown.
A super skyscraper that is 10/10 without any problems.
