nothing more to say that in other reviews, if so, is that this newer model the key is made in a wood fired (I do not remember which). Having owned older models with a rosewood fingerboard, I can say that there is no difference in the sound made between the two. So totally satisfactory.
At the microphones, I changed the 490/498 for original classic 57 ', not that the original pickups are bad, but I'm used to classic 57, and I now all my team guitars. The sound is of course fabulous!

UTILIZATION

comfort game is THE highlight of this guitar. Originally I'm rather fond of Les Paul. But we must admit that repeats or in concert, lightness, balance and the handle of the SG are exceptional. When you start playing this guitar, you can not stop as it is fun to play! The one who brought me here this effect is the Telecaster. Plunging head is confusing at first (especially when coming from the les paul), but you get used to very quickly, and it was not a problem quickly.

SOUNDS

We go there in the subjective. Personally, I find the exceptional and perfect sound, because it is exactly what I expect of a guitar. I will scream against the common places that want:
- It sounds like ACDC
- Clear sound is bad
- ...
I remain convinced that those who write it do so only by conformity, and that difficulties because they read it elsewhere. Let me be clear: we can all play with any guitar!
Indeed, the SG will excel in the ACDC sounds, but I have a standard and paul Epiphone sheraton which are equally excellent in the register, I had a telecaster which was also very good, you just adjust the amp on!
Personally I find this extremely versatile guitar, and even though I play mostly heavy rock that spot, I can cover all styles avec.Mais course, I'm not trying to sound "like so and so", I turn to my all styles way, and this guitar is perfect for that.
Similarly, intermediate position, or on the neck pickup, rendering its clear in my excellent taste.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar satisfies me! I laugh when I read comments like "mine is 19X, time or making was exceptional, nothing to do with the current crap." The guys who write it have never played on the stuff they are talking about and simply relay stupid platitudes that can be read on all forums. I'm a fan of Gibson, and I bought / sold a considerable number. I have all purchased by small ad without having tried first for most. I had recent, old, all models and all eras. And quite frankly, I've never been disappointed, and I never noticed any significant difference in quality between the different models. After, one is never safe from a defective model, regardless of the make and year.
In short, if you are comfortable with his Gibson, and especially with the ergonomics of the SG, this guitar is perfect, you can do everything with.
