Made in the USA.
Mahogany body with a pice.
Mahogany neck type 50's with rosewood fingerboard 22 frets and a radius of 12 "with Gibson's classic, in fact, no nets or pearl boxes, but only points of pearl, not plastic (hey, it's not piphone).
2 humbuckers Gibson 490R + 490T.
Tune-O-Matic tailpiece stopbar +
Chrome hardware.
Mine is finished in Worn Cherry.
It is sold in a bag Gibson.
I put 8 in the finish because the logo is not mother of pearl inlaid but simply buffered (even if it is golden buttons and a little cheap.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very pleasing but originally, the attack is a bit high, so a small ncessite rglage. CASC to treble, no problem.
Very good feeling to touch and it slides right in view of the satin finish varnish.
The body is fine, no need for cutting the stomach, all fawn, there would not be enough wood!
The sound is easy rgler. Volume and tonal by micro, pots are very sensitive and rpondent well, especially with a config like vintage Plexi amp o one is forced to juggle pots on the guitar. The spectrum of sound is asses off, we get good clear round and warm and very dynamic and well loadings Dfine (well, adpend also the amp). To bend the Furious zak wylde, prvoir the small piece of scotch magic Vitera the high E string to grab the microphone and then put the covers.

SOUNDS

It should be very much my style of music, ranging from good vintage rock (Eagles, Led Zep etc ...) at the Hard Rock (ACDC, Trust, Iron Maiden ...) through the Blues.
I played on a home amp (Plexi 18Watts, 1987) and basta! No effects, RULES volume amp, and after its legalization was happening on the guitar).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two years and I never ever pulled apart ... I promised my wife .... No kidding, it's a very good instument, docile and quite polyvallent. Stamp thanks finishing. I have also a Les Paul Standard, but I'm really comfortable with the SG lgre more and more manageable. The report is very good QualitPrix. It may be between the range of Gibson but the violin works. You can always hook her other mics if you want to make it evolve. Besides, I think changing the buttons and I may be putting the covers on humbuckers.
In any case I would do it without hesitating choice.
