UTILIZATION
- The handle is it nice? The neck is wide but flat (form D), at first it may be a little confusing for those who play on Ibanez, Jackson etc. .. who are really close, but what comfort Put *** used once! I love it! - Access to acute (last string) Is it easy? Of course! I never had an easy access to acute if one of my guitars! - Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Personally if I on SG because I love the sound, the look ... but I have back problems ... So I sold my Gibson Les Paul Standard to acquire this OS. My problems are solved! The SG must weigh two thirds of the weight of the Les Paul up, what light! Only problem: The game is like sitting up a bit "boring" at the beginning when it is not used because this guitar stings the nose a lot. - Do you get easily a good sound? Plug n Play, you plug, and you scratch it sounds! I put 10, but -1 because the handle that stings the nose.
SOUNDS
- Is it suitable for your style of music? This guitar is perfect for my style of music that is quite large! Pop, punk, rock, hard rock, heavy metal ... - With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? I play on an Orange AD30HTC orange 4x12 cabinet and a cutaway, let me tell you, it sounds as clean, crunch to the AC / DC, Airborne, and more than I use a distortion pedal Vox Bulldog Distortion Cooltron. - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)? In clean: Position serious: The sound is round, full, true happiness for rhythmic. Middle position: The sound is round and still further that the neck position. Means each string ringing when making agreements. Acute position: Here, I like less, the sound is flat, not warm, and it quickly crunch. Moreover, this microphone is enough to clean teeth, you have loved, and personally I do not like. In crunch: Position Serious as clean, warm sound aerated grain. Intermediate position: more grain, teeth, his very ample. Acute position: its sharp teeth to perfection, a true happiness! all with me: "Highwaaaay to Heeell! ...." In disto: Position serious: Perfect for the rhythmic ozzy osbourne position: the sound is very warm for a distortion, it's a little drool .. Acute position: Perfect for sounds to Metallica (old albums), it's super sharp and hot at once, but that position it does not bleed! - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? I prefer this guitar in the clean postion neck and middle, while the sounds crunch, overdrive in all its positions, and a distortion (not too high gain nonplus, this guitar is not made for that) in the bridge position / intermediary. I have no sound I hate, I just have preferences in terms of sounds. I love, love, or less, but I do not hate in any case!
OVERALL OPINION
- What thing do you like most/least about it? What I like most are: Ebony, style, finishes (custom shop pearl inlay on the head, the inlays are beautiful button ...), the sound of violin making in general .. . ALL What I like least: nothing, this guitar fills me in terms of violin and sound. - Did you try many other models before getting this one? Oh yes ... Gibson Les Paul Studio, Standard, Custom, Gibson SG Standard, Gibson Flying V, Fender telecaster, stratocaster (all U.S.) and so on! It's really the best, it surpasses them all by far! - What is your opinion about the value for the price? According guita ** TV, the price of nine was at the time of € 3057, I used to hit about half. Given the tone, the finish, the price of the new is abused! but totally justified and one realizes immediately when it was in his hands. Gibson is: very expensive but very good. Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ... With experience, yes, I do it again this choice sometimes twice a day! I put 10/10 for the first time a guitar this is me and fills me so much!
