All user reviews for the Gibson SG Standard

Gibson USA SG bought new in 1996, original mechanical replaced by Grover (oil bath), and the original pickups (Gibson 490R and 498T) replaced by bare knuckles abraxas (neck) and nailbomb (bridge).

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a very engaging, full of pep, very comfortable to play, handle end, access to acute weight. Strong personality, I think. Even in the original configuration, it sends bcp in different styles (blues, rock, metal), as well as clear, distortion or crunch always with the unmistakable energy. She did not sound the girth of a Les Paul, but it is a crazy dynamic. I find it very sensitive to the nuances of touch, depending on how you play it.

I changed because I found the mechanical Kluson without oil bath home a bit limited, especially when pulling hard on the rope. I will also change again, as Grover are heavy and tip the head down standing. As for pickups, the original set is coherent and dynamic, but lacked a bit of definition and clarity for my taste, but this is very personal. I made the choice to radicalize some configuration with severe acute softer and more biting (I'm happy choice, for those that may be interested). The guitar starts screaming with nailbomb. The warmth and brightness gives abraxas and I was blown away by the sounds into the microphone splittant (I added a push-pull on the grave)

SOUNDS

I play on a Marshall JCM900 and a Mesa Rectoverb. In the original config, I found a penchant for marshall it sounded perfectly, it was less magic on the mesa. Problem completely solved with the new pickups, evolution evident on the mesa, more than the marshall

OVERALL OPINION

I am very fond, if I had to keep one, this would be it. This is also my first "real" guitar after an entry-level, so it has sentimental value, which skews a bit my point of view ... but I'm still a blast to play. Good itches!

Made in U.S..
2-piece mahogany body, micro 490/498.
I think everyone knows ...

UTILIZATION

Round super nice, a thinner Les Paul but well filled by hand.
The guitar is super light, well balanced and all the squares are accessible with the greatest of ease.
The pitch is shorter than a stratocaster or telecaster where less tension strings so that with the original strings 10-46, the bends are very easy to make.
I have a rising stratocaster telecaster 10-46 and in 9/42 and the SG is between the two in terms of string tension, for me it's perfect! but that's just my opinion ...
Cherry in it really mouth! and I can not criticize matter finish!
One last point, the mechanics. I have often read that the agreement did not ben this is not the case on mine, I admit, I do a repeat for 3 hours without household and is always granted ask?

SOUNDS

The sound is very pleasant light or saturated, tone and volume buttons are progressive and can well find its sound. The bridge pickup has an output level well above the neck pickup is more aggressive, sharper see sometimes a bit too sharp but just play guitar tones / amp and voila.
On occasion, I would climb many 57 and 57 + to see what happens ...
For now sounds to me very suitable. It makes recovery style whites stripes, cranberries, joan jett, nirvana, black desire ...

OVERALL OPINION

It will be 3 years since I bought it and I love it!
I had a strat and I wanted a guitar with doubles, I went to buy the SG, I tried and bought live!
No regrets! Good for abuse, with € 1,000 more I would take a standard reissue

made in us, all original sleeve slim type 60, in my favorites gibson ...
Characteristics have already been given ...
I do not like Floyds, perfect for me ...

UTILIZATION

for my hands is the one that I need, I do not huge paws .. access to acute perfect.

SOUNDS

I bought in Tokyo, secondhand, tested among 14 of her sisters, when I played open, we looked with my wife, our ears had said yes at the same time.
For rock, jazz, blues fat is cool, too pop, but pop evil to take some air ', need a second guitar or simple tv jones ... something ... anything less fat
Now, with good fingers, everything sounds right ...

OVERALL OPINION

5 years that I have, it replaces my lp custom 85 that I can resell to change the injection pump of opel ... it is a dream right?
She comes largely at the ankle, but this is not the case with all ...
Again, try the vacuum instruments seems to me to be the least stupid thing to do, that is if we can ...
A sg, microphones are changed to handle this is harder, it is not in fender ...
this guitar, I can not sell too many things in it, and yet I do not play for more time with my TV viciously took his place for my rock trio ... sg will find the frequencies too low, and my mesa f30 + 2x12 rectify do not help the clarity of sound ... TV is winning in. ..
Now, I am doing a piece for Zique created quite hairy, and sg is the part to flatten the hair and goitrous embagousées the first row ...
The sg I need, but the TV also ...
2 are essential if one wants to enter into specific styles without taking the head to change all his gear ...

pity try before you buy, it will avoid surprises, sg is a very good guitar, it may not appeal to everyone, I'm a nag who does not like to complicate things ... guitar -----) ------ amp) speaker

I do not know what is the current production, but hey, buy something like that just seems stupid to me nine.
too much risk of the rape turn into red noodle ... oven drying, globalization coughed, I do not trust, appointment in paranoid-zine ...

In case of loss, I will be very sad because not sure to find one that vibrates much, maybe I will leave on a lespaul std 94 I do not know, yes, I do that because my sg sounds like a lp and lp is the sound that I wanted to find cheaply ...
can now handle things very cool, although I'm not pissed ...
I go back to look for in a country where you can try more than 3 in the same store ...
yes here ...
That's it ...

Hello, mine is a red cherry in November 2009, U.S. production of course.

For the rest, it is same as other notices, body and Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, jumbo frets I think.
2 microphones: 490T and 498R with each volume and tone control with 3-position selector.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a surprise, first, it seems long, but long, it can be confusing at first but if you hurry. Then, not too thick, but not flat either (like my Ibanez RG or a Charvel), this is a guitar shredder but rocker.

Access to treble is super simple, and super comfortable ergonomics, we just love the SG shape. Guitar too heavy for Gibson LP.

Attention to strap fasteners, one behind the heel of the neck is misplaced for me, I find that the imbalance in play guitar standing and especially if you move, una classic strap will tend to be removed more easily? By experience, mine was picked carrémeent support. I asked for no more worries and straplocks strap.

SOUNDS

My styles are rock, hard rock, heavey, pop, pop, a little bit of everything what.

The SG is the best for rock, more or less punchy. It will be limited in heavey-metal, I prefer my Ibanez EMG 81/85. on the other hand for the rest, she excels, rock, hard course.

I play a Blackstar HT5 first generation, the couple works perfectly. I have a few pedals from: Marshall Guv'nor first generation The EHX Big Muff, MXR Zakk Wylde Chorus, all going well, except maybe my Zvex Box Of Metal, but then we get into the big, big sound.

I love the sound of each microphone, but alone. I do not like the sound of the environment, the combination of the two does not imply anything for me.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased used in August 2010, it is dated after the certificate in the fly in September 2009.

This is my first guitar at this level and price point, and frankly, not at all disappointed.

I love its shape, its weight, its microphones ease.

I do not like the tie strap behind the neck, really misplaced (long live straplocks).

The price / quality ratio is good vraiement was a real scratch made in the USA, a very good level of finish.

I think yes, I remake this choice, in any case, I recommend it to all.

Needless to repeat everything that we know already about all caractéristiques.communes sg standard.

UTILIZATION

The neck suited me really good grip, light guitar compared to my les paul trad pro.
The access to the treble is very easy.
Microphones, 490 r and t I think are really great for rock blues.

SOUNDS

The sonorités.sont warm and accurate.
After that, I played on a VOX AC15 with hp greenback at home and on V212NT equipped de.70th anniversary in repet.
The sound is genial in 2 cases ..
J uses mainly pedales.mxr en.disto, overdrive and fuzz.
A boss chorus ..
It really does ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've always loved the gibson.
The sg standard is surprising but I've sold because I have already a strat and lespaul us auxquelles.je am sentimentally attached and I will never return.
That said, as soon as I could, I m sg buy a standard or a 61 reissue.
J really loved this guitar. No I have nothing to reproach him.

Now I've used a registry blues rock ...
I don t like metal, I do not know what she can give in this area.

Gibson SG Standard Ebony color. 2 humbucking gibso I go back on the specs ... Bought used (rather exchange against my Carvin ct-4 + Wampler Triple Wreck).

UTILIZATION

The grip of the guitar is natural and comfortable. The guitar is slight but sturdy, the handle is very pleasant for me even if it is not good auusi than a telecaster custom 78 (best round I've played in my life).
Flatter and wider.
With proper adjustment of the handle games and fast, precise and very pleasant.
Plugged into a combo Marshall JCM2000 DSL401 with in effects: A ernie ball wah, a Boss DS-2, A Xotix BB + preamp, A Blackart Toneworks LSTR and a line 6 M9: I do what I want and go where I want with my hair ...

SOUNDS

This is a model of quitare jouabilitée and versatility. Clean, Blues, Rock, Pop, Metal, Bal musette experimental munich, this guitar can do it all and do it well.
This is a standard in standard but it is not for nothing.
In short it is a guitar player who is meant to be played again and again and again and always give you satisfaction. The sound is clear and you would look over the other guitars in the same ear after that.
Asked a little to Mr Angus AC / DC what he thinks ...

OVERALL OPINION

I possess a lot of electric guitars but this one is the best loins. Not the most expensive yet ... Have found today in 1100 euros while many skyscrapers in the example 2000 € 1800 or do not auusi well.
I certainly VAIT updater plit with microphones and virato and it will last. After the sg, the only guitars that still come to me to have the dream musicman ...

George's Music Berwyn PA, I paid 1050 dollars for it new. I had a big problem finding one and had to drive two hours from delaware to pick it up, I wanted to buy one down here in Delaware but no one had one in stock and it takes a while to order from gibson, 3 months and up...

This guitar is simply gorgeous, I mean you have to see it to beleive that people make equiptment like this. The inlays were amazing looking, the headstock was just detailed and beautiful, its nice and light and has beautiful hardware. The finish shines perfectly, and the cherry color is just fabulous. The wood is just great looking. It came in a beautiful brown case with a pink liner...which I could have done with out, but if anyone buys an 03 or newer they get black with grey inside so that solves that one physical aspect. It sounds amazing plugged in, and I had to lower the action somewhat to get it to where I like it. It requires SOOO little force to get great tones, you could go so fast on this guitar its not even funny!

Its beauty is its greatest stregth and weakness, it requires alot of upkeep to have it look new. Heat changes really effect it too, you have to let it get used to the temp before taking it out and playing it, I have one finish check from my lack of care in the first weeks, but it is worth all the effort to own somthing this nice, I had one other problem with this guitar the notch for the sixth string is not big enough to hold it so in hard playing it pops out, you can fix it with a file or a new bridge so its basically a non issue, I love my baby none the less! Some say the neck is too thick for thier hands and its wide, but it just makes it a dream for speed. Its personal preference I guess, but I love it!

heh I described it in the what I like unit, but I would just like to say again, like fine art.

Its just such a nice guitar, some people say you can buy a cheaper gibson and its the same, my brother owns a sg voodoo seris which cost 950 only 100 less than mine, there is no binding, or laquer finish, and it feels sort of the same in your hands, just like the faded sg's, it is about the same to play, but it just feels cheaper, it no inlays, binding, glossy finish, pick up covers, headstock inlays or any of what makes the sg stand out so much, gibson on the headstock is just a decal on the voodoo, and on the sg standard its a perloid inlay that looks fantastic, I say dont go cheap, spend the 100 more dollars or even four or five depending on the pricing in your area and go for a standard, it is well worth the money. Its the best decision I have made in years, and dont listen to what gibson haters out there say, they just cant afford one so they complain about them like thier junk. I will end with this, a gibson is the greatest guitar you can purchace, and if they say its too much of a premium price I say who cares, if you keep it five years its still worth what you paid for it, its a beautiful investment that will make you smile every time you look at it.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Made in the USA (Nashville, TN, or Kalamazoo, MI for the older ones)
Mahogany double cutaway body
Mahogany set in neck
Rosewood fingerboard
22 frets
Trapezoid inlays
Gibson/Kluson vintage tuners
2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way pickup selector switch
2 Gibson humbucking pickups, covered
Tuneamatic bridge and stop tailpiece, or vibrato tailpiece
1/4" output jack

UTILIZATION

Playability is a dream on an SG Standard. The double cutaways are very deep, and the neck joins the body near the end of the fretboard, closer than on most guitars, so fret access is sublime. The neck feels fantastic, as if the carve and fretboard radius were built for my hand. Controls are easy to reach, yet plugging in a straight end cable is a tad annoying, as it juts out near the controls. My guitar has a Maestro Vibrato system, and it is great for subtle Bigsby-style vibrato, with a severe helping of cool. It's a classy, yet edgy looking guitar.

SOUNDS

This guitar is bold and aggressive, but can be smooth and subtle. The inherent acoustic resonance is undeniable - you can feel the guitar vibrate in your hand, probably more than any other guitar I have ever played. Bridge pickup tones would cut through a steel bank vault, with all the bite in the world, yet all notes and chords retain a crystal clarity. The neck pickup tone is thick and singing, which is what you hear on the early Santana records.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is fantastic, a true classic. There is a reason why this guitar is one of the most enduring and iconic designs of all time - it rocks! The SG Standard is a true winner all the way around, and I would recommend that every guitar player try one out at some point.

I have been eyeing a Gibson SG Standard for quite a while now. I picked this one off the wall at GC in Texas and I fell in love. The coil-tap is sweet but it isn't perfect and to be honest if you are truly looking for that single-coil tone then just buy a Stratocaster. What it does provide is the ability to gig with one guitar and get darn close to that true single-coil sound when you need it.

UTILIZATION

The finish is beautiful, I have the Vintage Sunburst and I love it. The sounds are bold, cutting and pristine. They shine on solos they just have that ability to cut through the band. Many of my band members thought I spent much more than the retail price. The neck is amazing smooth and comfortable. The binding is beautiful and adds to the authentic look and feel of the Les Paul. Just in genereal the feel of this guitar is great and it has a really nice color to it as well. I think this version comes in a few different colors.

SOUNDS

The guitar is heavy don't discount that if you play long sets. I am used to a relatively heavy guitar. This LP isn't chambered. which is something that I enjoy. I feel that chambering, although reduces weight, calms down sustain. This baby will hold a note while you grab a sandwich and when you get back it will still be humming.

OVERALL OPINION

The overall sound of the guitar is everything you would expect from a Les Paul. Every note shines through out of this instrument. I play it through a Mesa/Boogie Mark V and it basically sounds as perfect as I had imagined it would in my head. You can never go wrong with a Gibson, I definitely recommend getting this one. The SG Gibson Standard is at the top of its class.

Nashville (Usa) Made, Mahogany body Ebony Black Gibson SG standard, 2 volume, 2 tone controls, center, 300k Linear Volume, 500k Non-linear Tonebridge.
Center, bridge and neck pickup selector, the pickups are alnico made 498T in the bridge and 490R in the neck, Gibson updated rendition of the original PAF humbuckers of the late 50's early 60's.
Rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets, with chrome stop bar, pickups and tune O-Matic.
Nickel vintage tuners with perloid buttons. Comes with a black Gibson hardshell case.


UTILIZATION

A very nice guitar to play with, easy access to all frets and lighter than a Les Paul, a really ergonomic a easy guitar to play with.

SOUNDS

I had this guitar for 10 years now, and I've used it with a lot of different amps, cabs, effects etc.
I recently changed the stock pickups with Bareknuckle ones.
With the stock ones it was quite acid and "trebly" but I changed my tuning to D standard and with the new pickups it's a rock/heavy rock machine.
It can easily goes from clean Jazzy dark tones in the neck position to heavy rhythm and sharp leads in the bridge position.
I've toured a lot with this guitar, and even with the standard tuners and with a 11-52 set of strings it maintains the guitar in tune for a lot of time.
A great guitar for blues too.

OVERALL OPINION

This a guitar that today can be found for a lot less money from 10 years ago. My advice is to try it before, especially if you buy it used, I've read from various sources that the Quality standards from those years were a little bit up and down.
If you find a good one, however I strongly advice to take it, it is a rock monster, that can easily cover a lot of ground even with the stock pickups, great value for the price of it, I would easily buy another one in an heartbeat.

Gibson SG us (MODL all there is more standard) ... with traditional home gibson CHARACTERISTICS: Cordier, Tune-o-matic, rosewood fingerboard 22 frets, 2 humbuckers (PAF) , slecteur 3 positions, 1 volume & Tone rglage micro ... Simple and effective!

UTILIZATION

Channel Gibson: a mean we like it or not ... I do, so ...
Access in acute, for the era, unbeatable ... and today is that of happiness.
It is much more than her big sister lgre Les Paul, better balance, empty a can be felt at the sound. It is also lgrement chamfered, a more ergonomic and non ngligeable Aesthetics.
The sound is fat hope (gibson!), With respect to the micro serious (neck), I find the position a little lacking acute "prsence" potato ... nothing to do with the Les Paul, and it is for me-the-main the default. I do not have incisors and powerful attacks of the Les Paul ...
That said, even when sound palette is varied.

SOUNDS

I adorre, I intended to sell it 'some time ago, but I gave this ide in the emerging of the tui and so again sduis its forms ...
It should do what I want to the extent it is complmentaire my Start ...

OVERALL OPINION

Anne of purchase, 1999 ... Basically, I cracked in redcouvrant ACDC, I had the ...
I would do ...

So it makes an SG standard in the United States. It is mahogany (body + sleeve). Rosewood 22 frets, pickups: 2 Humbucker that will make you cry with joy .. : 490R in the neck position and 498T in the bridge position. SETTING THE Volume and Tone by microphone. Channel pais but not too much (not as a gro Les Paul) trs enjoyable, fast Anyway I love it and I'm comfortable TRSA.

UTILIZATION

The handle is perfect for me, it feels fast straight away at ease. Access in acute could not be easier. The ergonomics are fantastic: forget the weight of a Les Paul that will make you drool, here we are dealing with an SG ridiculous weight (3 to 4 kg), it is ultra platte, the weight is I think, ideally rpart (some would say there q'il more weight to the head of the instrument but I do not find). Question her .. Well, it's Gibson .. it was a wonderful ds's the first connection before you even rglage you find yourself playing any qoi to make it talk a little bit ..

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music I adore Muse, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin ... is frankly gnial .. I use a Marshall JCM2000 and frankly .. What about the fact that a gibson the religious instruments are reputable and that is that this mark would notice me dispens ... Basically it is THE rock sound. I love it. Question ca lens provides really good (I had often said that in light ca sonait too bad, but it's too not true it sounds really interresting way trs. And of course .. It is in bold dynamite .. Enough to have a heart attack has a region of 80 brushes .. The sound I prfre is without doubt the sound fat zero .. Tellment "enjoyable" ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, I love above all this sublime form, color, heritage cherry, a beautiful red "VTU" a varnish sublime too. His sound is just part of intgrante Rock, there are countless artists who have used the Beast (Angus Young, Pete Townsend ...) I essay is almost no other models, falls madly in love her ds the first moments and of course aprsl have heard .. It was mystical ecstasy (as would my teacher loves french ..) The price compared to the Les Paul is simply eccellente, it remains in APRS 1600/1880 euro must then see what .. but it's a Gibson, this is an instrument mrrite worship, you see a Ferrari for the price of a Renault? So here .. If I chilled this choice? Above all .. yes I love this guitar, I will keep it for life ..

Manufactures in the United States.
The body and neck are mahogany.
Rosewood 22 frets.
Pickups: 2 Humbucker 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge).
SETTING THE spar volume and tone for each pickup.
Channel rapid trs comfortable gaming

UTILIZATION

This guitar is trslgre and weight is rpart.
No problem regarding Access in treble.
That branch on any amp, it sounds good and the guitar is SETTING THE could not be more simple.

SOUNDS

I use a Marshall JCM800.
This gives a clear trs of good quality but the distortion is not great (well for those who love the blues, they will find agnial) so I use pedals to get a distortion pedals, this n'manant not the guitar but the amp.
I tried it on a Dual Rectifier and l. .. is happiness!
On a twin, or a Hot Rod Engel is also trs well!

OVERALL OPINION

I play with this guitar for over 7 years and frankly I still love it as much.

MODEL 2002 United States Standard, cherry red.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a handle Gibson. In the words dedicated "we love or we dtest" I love me, and I do not see how we can dtest.

The balance is perfect, the weight is insignificant (I play mostly on a Les Paul), Access in acute is optimal. In short, it's a rgal to play it, even more than on a Les Paul, it is to say! When I branch for the first time on my amp, I could not help but play. The playability and feel are truly exceptional.

SOUNDS

Like Les Paul, it sounds right away and give a silly grin all lovers of big sound. It is bold, rich, ractif, the Gibson's what! Plugs into a mesa boogie with a baffle rectoverb Slash Marshall Edition is standard.

The only BMOL is compared to the Les Paul (my guitar pricipale). Indeed, the SG has a slightly less sharp prcis pchu and his big sister, which I will always prfrer this dernire. That said, one between the nit-picking, and provides the dj is exceptional, and it reverses the diffrence with the comfort of his game a little suprieur.
Personally, I play in a band fan of rock / hardcore / noisy, and I use the SG guitar help of Les Paul and plans more noisy.

The nine, is that I put the 10 les paul.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months and I am fully satisfied. In gnral, I use my Les Paul in rpt 'and concerts, and Sg home, and troubleshooting of the Les Paul.
I prfre is the ease of play it provides and its versatility. I tried many other models before buying, and from the Les Paul (I know, I insist, but I'm crazy), no other guitar does not sound much my taste. I speak of the Rock (at large), a course.
It's a Gibson SG uen it is a myth ... justifies the use.

The report is qualitprix I think everything is justified. I bought € 900 Used Internet. It is new, not a single pet, and I Whereas it is an excellent deal. 0 those who find the price compared to Gibson EXAGRES services offered, I say that perfection has a price.

Gibson Guitar with set neck, 2 double pickups, no vibrato 22 frets and 4 knobs (volume and sound of two pickups). It is very well and the wood is beautiful.

UTILIZATION

It's easy to play .. The guitar is light and you're good with, it holds well. You can change the pickups and selector is nickel. In addition you can adjust the volume of two separate microphones so you can cut a switch and shake, that's a funny kind sound effect that starts and returns.

SOUNDS

The sound is very good but I was less accurate than my other guitars (especially Jackson) and it whistled when I was playing hard with the marshals (it was going in but not big crunch sat) so I took her to the repairer who has said he could change the pickups. He told me it was a shame to put EMG as the jacksons so he put Seymour Duncan. It's a little better but not much. I think I'm going to put EMG anyway!

OVERALL OPINION

It's a great guiatre more blues or hard rock Metallica (except perhaps the albums they have short hair). What is unfortunate is that the pickups are not great compared to the EMG to the metal but otherwise is good.

Simple: www.gibson.com or by typing "Gibson SG" in the Forums or www.guitariste.fr AF

UTILIZATION

The handle? I have comments on the sleeves type strat. I made the era a car I thought that as beginners with small hands ... a handle end would suit me.

Then one day I put the hand on the handle ... and the rvlation ... easy pais ... it requires the precision and this is what I need!

Top!

The ergonomics of this scraper is excellent as a general rule ... lgre, it can be played sitting or standing without dropping or s'clater back!

SOUNDS

It is the only aa t rvlation ... the gibson are gnral consodres as trs type rock, blues, mtal ... it's not wrong ... but the SG will be as a scratching rvle particulire versatile especially in the clean sounds.

If you love fiddling and rgler ... one comes across the sound ... truth and of all kinds ...

It can make you scream like him find trs sound velvety, soft ... pure joy ... Discoveries true for me!

OVERALL OPINION

This is a scratch that I do not lcherai if tt ...

A legends that I hold in my hands and makes me shudder every time I branch!

The DLIR!

I have the Gibson SG standard since I started guitar because it belonged to my father. It dates from 1972 (around). The same pattern is now nine over 1600 Euros

The body of the guitar is mahogany with a veneer red / burgundy (color a little sleep) translucent. The neck is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard.
The pickups are two humbuckers (original model) brand gibson (AlNiCo). These pickups are the same as those on Mount Gibson Les Paul. Their references are 490R and 498T (reference current I do not know if he used dj era the people?).
There is a 3 position selector, 2 volume and 2 Tone POTENTIOMETER (1 micro!).
My model is also equipped with a vibrato legacy (note the holding of the agreement!).
The finish of this guitar is impeccable (it's gibson!), All accessories are quality (mechanical clutch, bone nut, ...). The handle al of this model is not very broad and rather rounded, which gives a comfortable touch of the game but the rest trs rock all the same. Current models of Gibson SG std I've tried have a handle bcp broader patent and a non-translucent.
In the spirit of the guitar there is nothing wrong about CHARACTERISTICS.

UTILIZATION

The handle is round and narrow and comfortable enough to ACCS Acute correct.
But this is not a handle made to Steve Vai and co ...
No problem to play sitting or standing. It is not too heavy and chamfers are places.
Obviously we obtain easily the typical Gibson: warm, living, excellent ...

OK so comfortable and (in style) nickel.

SOUNDS

Without plugging the instrument, we see already his strong acoustic mahogany BRINGS roundness and warmth to the sound.
Once we recognize the first branch agreement GRAIN GIBSON. Frankly the fact ca!
In the clear is always very warm and the limit of its crunch. By varying the tone and volume is obtained from its magnificent jazz and blues.
With a little more saturated it gets really IDAL for rock-blues. I tonnerai not telling you that you can get the sounds of AC / DC ...
By pushing the background distortion, it becomes the very big sound. Hello riffs of Sepultura ... It's full of bass and sustain (set neck to the body of the guitar!). It's really no fault!

Parenthse between the model Les Paul Gibson has grace in ca table saddle and its greatest thickness of mahogany a little spice to the attack and a little more sustain!

I put "only" 9 / 10 SG 10/10 because I'll put the Les Paul ... both are good but there's qq Difference prfrer that make me the Les Paul.

OVERALL OPINION

The great guitar for rock, blues, jazz, metal, and more ...

Damage currently rising $ and especially the abuse of importers make Gibson unaffordable. Knowing that the quality of the instruments has not volumes and the price has almost doubled in 10 years, what should we think of the report qualitprix ...

This guitar is a Gibson so please it is not made in either Taiwan or coréée I know not where but Nashville Unis.elle States has 22 boxes and two humbucker pickups
a 498 T in the bridge position and an R in position 490 Channel
There are 4 knobs, 1 volume and 1 tone with mic and a 3 position toggle switch to change pickups
and the latter is not as well placed on the LP where the risk of breaking that rhythm plays a little violent ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is an absolute delight, we eat. well on the celluloid varnish Gibson is the reason for agreeableness (not search I just invented that word) absolute
access to acute is that of a SG that is to say that one can even touch the handle is microstellement damn well is going well with the shape of the guitar retort
it is light and thin it can easily play sitting
the sound is especially remarkable is the quantity playing well ...
joking aside an agreement with a good power-plated heavy distortion of Marshall and it is glued on the opposite wall

SOUNDS

I chose this guitar is that it suits my style of music that is to say the great big rock
I play on a Marshall AVT that is to say a half a lamp and no effects (except of course the disto ...)
The sound can be as mild even in heavy distortion

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years and I use it the more I love
I do not never part
I spent long moments on the les paul and sg before emon choice and it is ultimately the SG to me by far the most confident
rappoort the money is exellent, as even if it is in the vicinity of € 1800 largement.bien she is sure that I would do this choice because I have already done it once
I regret that choice if I would rid the guitar

Should I repeat? everything has been said, right? Well, go: the 324 made in Nashville th day of 2004 in Nashville (United States) and is the 42 th guitar being shipped from the factory that day! 22 frets, a joint body which is round at the 19th fret (different from the 61 reissue), this handle is available in the treble. It is fine and pleasant, the key in rosewood is a bit "rough" but I prefer that to the maple gives me a plastic look .. The pickups are two humbuckers 490R and 498T selectable with a switch: 1-2-1. The biggest complaint comes from that: one's a bit messy in the midrange and bass, but that tile in the treble, I had to put my serious knob to 0 on the amp for sound "solo" sharp on the strings ... then there was the arrival of micro magic! the 57 classic plus, and there: slurps! rebalancing of all this, the slightest gust of pick you can feel the feeling of guitarist: all lights! Otherwise, the body is thin mahogany, it is light, a little tendency to pitch down, but I hold it to 60 °, so no problemo! On mechanical, it's true that at the beginning I drooled after the Telecaster that NEVER goes out of tune, but after some interventions (reserrage, patching holes and screwing) I must admit that it's going much better: good plastoc the tulips, frankly it's a bit cheap for a skyscraper that price!
The fittings are of the classic Gibson, it is set in less than two, tune-o-matic, stopbar is the arch known and the "arch that goes!" the hardware is chrome.
I go down the note because of two things: an important micro drafts, and mechanical plastoc tulips!

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, yes, very very fast for me who am not a great guitarist from the Telecaster, it was a shock, as a small round gem, access to treble is good. The beautiful beast looks a bit of pif and you have to be careful anyway: Straplock mandatory safety!
The sound was good but not present in the treble, and for that I note down.

SOUNDS

Completely! a crunch sound, but again since buying the 57 classic plus, it's caviar! Of course, the shock of having to hand the guitar of my dreams was huge, do not spoof the SG issue, even without the 57's a very nice, but there is a severe lack of definition in acute feeling, solo position. I play on my little Laney 15R and I had to put the knob to 0 serious!
I get a fat sound, but lacking acute micro home. From the 57, everything is rebalanced!
I hate not having a solo in his present position in the treble!
And now all is well!
BUT the SG standard microphones origins should have a lower score because of them

OVERALL OPINION

For three and a half months! What I like is its lightness, its shape, its color changes with the light (it is a heritage cherry). What I like least is the filth of varnish as soon as he sticks his hand above is a bugnes, which is, after very difficult to remove! Same hand is the cata! This is THE guitar I wanted, I have a US Telecaster, Vintage 113T a (wedding anniversary!).
The price / quality ratio is good in Germany and no one in France, sorry.
Yes I would resume an SG reissue But surely a 61, even though I hate the small pickguard.
The rating is down because of the varnish, and microphones, again!

Well, let y. ..
United States manufacturing
all mahogany
The cellulose varnish discrtes made small "waves" and is trs sensible perspiration as well as small impacts (the varnish is "soft"), rosewood key is not really great punctual inlays are really improved, the mcaniques are antiques ... I personally think that gives him a small ct "roots" nice, but for the price, they might be a bit less dcontracts at Gibson!
22 frets, two humbuckers, two tone, two volumes, a three-position switch togle ... etc ...
flight wig with pink inside (I love ...)
good j'arrte ... everyone knows the SG and all over a cell and said rptbr t /> bah, all songs are good sets: 7 / 10 because of the finishes for improvement

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics total:
the handle is playable, not too late nor too pais (my taste eh!), the frets are thin and do not hang plutt hand on the edge of the handle
the highs are perfectly accessible, the guitar is fine, lgre with good chamfers: a rgal!
it leaves more willing to play with the handle inclinbr /> GNER have nothing right hand when playing and are accessible CONTRL
trs it sounds very empty, with a sharp attack and good sustain
in the hands you can feel it vibrate littralement! thundering!
mcaniques dsaccordent is the permanent, not much admittedly, but hey! it must monitor the grand mre ...

SOUNDS

You plug it all in a very light and forward Gingham!
the register of the guitar is the mdiums! (M'tonnes you ...)
clean sounds are biting on the micro acute
they are significantly more severe on the micro plush but low exs
intermdiaire position clears some of the characters of one and the other without making much more, my taste of course ....
the crunch, the three positions, you stick a little smile systmatiquement beats with a dash of drool flowing at the corner of the mouth ...
systmatiquement ...
saturations, uh, you know .... raging, that's the word, furious!
this guitar is a moth!
dlivre saturations snapping it, not too rough or too prcises:
the bass is not Submitted exs and treble are mdiums and hear
I can not find it appropriate to sound dark but very serious cons, I think it Exelle big rock in the register pchu well!
The most surprising in the end, with the SG is its versatility: it all goes well and in a few prs all styles!
Royal!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it as lead guitar for a while now
in the directory of times (there is also the directory compos ...) she immediately found her place, either on pieces of Red Hot, Cake, from The Black 'and Rage or Limp Bizkit, etc ...
versatile, but with a good personality marks the jades!
I was swells just have to put a little bit of tuning CONTRL both pieces but hey! I forgive him ...
trs varnish deteriorates quickly, it will quickly take a finish "vintage" I think ... sorry too!
it is so enjoyable that lgre and almost forget to remove the APRS concert
the prices in France is simply a scandal!
ouh! ouh! Gibson ... not good!
I leave it the way it is, without changing anything
I want a deuxime to customize my fawn (h. .. h)
so yes, I will repeat that choice ...

Overall Rating: 10, of good quality matrial, all that is original for 30 years is like new. Anything.

UTILIZATION

It falls into the strong point of the SG over a Les Paul and even (AC only my opinion) a Strato: The jouabilit!

The handle is exceptional (it's not the best SG in speed, the best is the '61 Rissue if I am using the ones I tried but still on a Standard ca excellent we mean well): The Channel-body connection is the 17-18th fret so much that almost nothing is blocking one rises in the treble. The heel begins to take shape under the collar 16-17 (13-14 against a Start): a real bar between the fingers, Access in acute is SU-PER-BE, I never jou a guitar as fast (except the '61 SG Rissue, but that's another story). The problem that I have known beginners on the other hand is that it is a bit "lost" without repre point, we tend to play on the 15th instead of 12th, but well you get used to fast all of the same.

This is in d trs largely mimics the form-but-never-gale of SG, these horns are wonderful, they do not block the hand, if in dplacement to the right, neither toitet once you are "inside". The heel on her t tudi much better than on a Strato (I RPET but everyone knows what it is, and I rarely essay from Les Paul than Strato ), I can do without problem on the 22nd fret bends without worry. As for weight, the Les Paul was soundly defeated (But is that really a quality I let each judge). The SG PSE 5 to 6 pounds (2.5 3 kg) against 9 for LP ... loquent. Obviously so much with everything, we go without a rhythm problem in a solo frets Premire suprieure an octave, time to give a helping hand on the micro slecteur Rhythmic or to switch intermdiaire Treble, all without pter back.

As for her, I think it is a Les Paul or equivalent lgrement better, but considering the price diffrence and since you get all the same very easy with a good sound an SG Standard, that can rev well into the comparison with the Les Paul. Indeed, no need to call for a Crsus trs good sound once you SG: I have a Custom Fender Frontman 15R, and a Planet Waves Cable (excellent, by the way) and it sounds perfectly fine, even with a gain 3 or 4 trs ca gives a good sound effortless.

I can just NOT put anything other than 10

SOUNDS

Playing Rock, Blues-Rock and Hard Rock, sometimes with the Blues, this guitar is sized for me. The sounds she dlivre are fabulous. Clearly, the guitar did not blush, it is trs good: the sound is warm, lively and prcis (not as prcis on a Start when same). In full, as it falls in the area of ​​prdilection scratch, we can expect something good, and ... it is not: p The sound is smooth, powerful, aggressive, and that of the two humbuckers which saturation of thunder effortlessly.

As said prcdemment, I play a Fender Frontman 15R amplifier, a small transistor 15W. Well even on this amp it sounds good, even though trs. Of course, I also have tried this guitar on higher-end amps (Marshall, Fender amps and other lamps) and it's a good rev comes out.

The neck pickup is good for the trs blues or rhythm in gnral, it sounds full trs for serious and a little "indoor" in the treble. Treble on the microphone allows Submitted least serious, and more acute perants, ideal for a solo so angry. So we go to a powerful solo a solid rhythm with a single hand on the micro slecteur.

The sound I prfre is the sound lgrement saturated (gain 3 or 4), that I like least (because I do not dtest) is the its too saturated (above 8 for gain), because both the '61 SG Rissue prcise enough to afford it, both the Standard loses clarity this level of saturation and we fall in boiling -incomprhensible, I specially do not like, except for strange effects.

I do not put "only" 9 because I love the sound of this guitar, but it can not do or sound or ultra-clean ultra-distorted sound (I'm not even that sr what a guitar can do, but I can not put dcemment 10)

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for a few weeks, buy OCCAZ of an individual who had since '76.

What I like most is its sound gnrale, good quality of stuff and especially his jouabilit all for one of the most affordable prices of quality guitars from Gibson. What I like least is that you possder a Start to get good sound ultra-clean, which many (including me now that I took a Rissue) can not have, but I got good reason: D.

I had a Squier Stratocaster for beginners, there is a little over a year. Not long ago, my salary does my pennies for my reus tray with honors, and my personal SAVINGS, I told myself that I could make a big pleasure with a new guitar of quality. At first I thought a Les Paul, I had the budget. So I rflchi for a Les Paul, but too heavy, too encombrate to go to the treble, etc ... Not what I needed. APRS, as I had a Strato entry, I said, Strato better bill. So I tried a Strato and the same day a SG Standard in 1972. Et .. I made my choice) I even, APRS, with the remaining budget from the original, bought a '61 so I LOVE rissue of this sound ( diffrent are, I'm not a fan of the SG: D).

So I had an SG for half of a Les Paul or SG More precisely two for the price of a Les Paul, and believe me these guitars are not half as good DEFINITIONS, The report also qualitprix seems excellent, if they can drop like me in business. Stay patient and jump on opportunities, the dollar was never as low t and it will not last, the new guitars are probably the cheapest of the decade to come, and those of OCCAZ 70 'are ctes little at the moment but it will come.

With exprience, I would do this choice? Hmmm good question. I think so.
