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 .
