«  Microphones and split? The foot! »

Published on 11/14/14 at 07:17
What country has she made? USA
What type of bridge? Tune-o-matic
What type of race? One piece, 60's profile, access to acute madness
How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration? 22 frets, 2 pickups and split Classic57 pulling / pushing the volume buttons
What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)? Classical, 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, 3-position selector

And Min anda system hidden behind the head.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
Extremely nothing to do with my Epiphone Les Paul.

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Oh yes! It's even why I decided for a SG! I began to ache thumb when I played on the Les Paul dint of having to leave 12th fret while I shot the 17th (Les Paul players clearly see what I mean, damn neck heel) but now it ' is ancient history!
Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
It is excellent, the guitar is light, the bridge is great in the palm of your hand.

Gets it easy to sound good? Well nothing that clean sound to rock a personality already, but I must love kiiiffe. The split pickups also gives great results. With distortion it's just madness

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music? Well uh paaaas I know, I play flamenco, why is not it necessary that ??

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? VOX VT50 probably I will change all lamps in no time. Side effects, mainly a Heptode Deep Crunch and Double Rock Zvex.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)? With the bridge pickup and the 2 overdrives I get respectively a rather clean and crunch like a Marshall distortion much less clean. In clean, the splittées positions are light and bright.

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? The pickup in splittée position is particularly pleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? Not long but I'm getting used to fast! (November 2014)

What is so special that you like most and least? And split the pickups, it was really two guitars in one.

Have you tried many other models before buying it? Some other SG Standard store, I actually flashed the comfort of play.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Ordered online on a famous German site, I hesitated to choose me since its release. I saw the price yoyo playing for months (she even went to 1600 € for a while) and I preferred to wait. When I saw the SG 2015, with its zero fret and the large logo Les Paul 1800 €, I decided for the 2014 model, much more sober and 600 € cheaper. There the price / quality ratio seemed more attractive.

With experience, you do again this choice? Certainly.
