All user reviews for the Gibson SG Standard

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 ...

Varnish: I believe nitrocellulose, fragile it seems, if everyone said that must be true

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.

So blah blah blah, everything has already said t the manufacture of the scraper, 22 boxes 498T and 490R blah blah blah blah tune-O-Matic Volume 2 blah blah blah blah ... 2 tone

UTILIZATION

So I am the All School Metal Fury, I need a scraper Legré, powerful, strong, easy to play ... I found it. Absolutely wonderful. The power you want in voila, the presence of a grain very Gibsonian, chuis thrilled. In addition to the form ... well, jai spent my first night looking so it is nice, (black is beautiful, heritage cherry ca angus young is too I hate it too "dja view" ...)
Well, it's finishing rikain koi so it's a little bakla missing the last clim.

SOUNDS

It's perfect in my zikk of stale, I the User with a marshall 9200 and soon with a v-twin pramp rack. the ca klak already when I played with the modulations of a Boss GT6.
The sound is very saturated fat and clean and very hot round. Impossible to do as a strat course, but one who pays a SG and SG will not strat so everything is normal.
It's true for cons I Do not operate the microwave serious, I do not lutil of your use, my faith will be seen later.

OVERALL OPINION

So I've had 10 days, Ive already done a concert with, instead of a Gibson Nighthawk Special jadore that. L jai pet the head, chuis dgout.
In short, I'm too plaizir fact, it is light, it's a really powerful, handle hyper accessible by leaning against her cot head, and ca ... ca me reulou thou coward, she falls from the cot of the head, jarrive not understand how this is possible. It is really too slight wholesale ... Finally, you should try standing hallucinate.
Gadjo good without my stinky, I could not pay me a Epiphone, chuis like "you want an SG? Take the Gibson or nothing" So I do not hsit long before I take it (1,290 , 00). I think it's still too expensive for the quality of this filing on its skyscrapers, and I think what will increase further in the months ahead von.
Seeking an SG, I do it again this choice, but that pitetre Jorai davoir have waited more tunes for me to pay the Custom I do not know ........

So mine is 1973, US-made course
I bought it for ACCESS to a reasonable price (700 euros) but a passage was essential in the luthier (electronic dusty and especially one of the previous owners had filed the frets almost to the wood, for a purpose that m escape a little) so about 200 euros more but the result is worth the expense
Otherwise the specifications are applicable to units of the time ..
obviously the appearance is that of a guitar and some thirty years served, but personally I think it gives it an extra charm ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, a bit thinner than my Start with still a good grip (I have no hands lumberjack either ..)
I think we can consider that it is fast, although I find the term a bit ridiculous, with excellent access to acute, but it's not really a guitar shredder (it is written much like this? ) I have nothing against these people, and it is for everyone, but this guitar is, in my humble opinion, more a game for a little "roots" that tapping with both hands as typing, share the nuances it allows. well, it's a personal opinion and not allowed .. and then tie the extra lights does not really suit him, it was not designed for it ..
very slight, lean a little towards the head (quite large on the models of the time) but nothing really annoying

SOUNDS

This is the most interesting, of course.
from the first notes, instinctively, I took to play some piece of doors, and even at low volume, without any preliminary adjustment, it sounds the fire of God!
I play either on an old Marshall tube or directly into a multi track depending on the circumstances, and in both cases, the magic is there (a little more with the amp anyway)
micro grave is accurate, with just enough of drooling for good rhythmic blues not too clean, for example ..
in the bridge position, it is a wonder! with distortion moderate, we obtain an expressive and impressive finesse a bite .. hard to describe but instantly recognizable!
Once revised, the pots volume settings allow for enough, especially in the second half of the race

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year or so, but I really like that since his time at the maker a few months ago (I think that buying a guitar of this age, it's a budget that 'there should be anyway.)
This is an authentic instrument, which makes you faithfully what you put into the qualities and defects.

at a cost of less than 1000 euros is a bargain in my opinion, even if it is obviously not an insignificant sum for most of us ..
say that the price of two cake-it was an instrument of high quality and designed to last, proof!

United States manufacturing ..... bla bla bla .... everything has been said on this scratch .... it's solid, fast, with great access to acute .... 2 490R and 498T humbuckers, 2 volumes, 2 tones, Tune O Matic bridge, stop tailpiece bar, chrome hardware .... Because it's great sustain of a mahogany set neck.

UTILIZATION

Super guarantee its preferably in a tube amp for this little side roots ... the guitar is so light and great for very long concert ...

SOUNDS

Versatile guitar for a Gibson .... but a big taste for blues, rock, or hard.

OVERALL OPINION

My guitar in 1993 .... I use it in studio and on stage plugged into a Carvin All Tube with a few pedals to color .... it's good and even very good ... (watch the mechanical origins are struggling to keep the agreement very long time ... but it's the only negative) ...

Okay so everything has a roughly t say so I repeated it, the handle is simply gniale the best essay I have is a real motorway fingers touch is exeptional.
it is great against the knobs Designed by slipping when you sweat a little finger, too bad they are not antidrapant.

UTILIZATION

The matrial finishes are good too. against by the varnish is super sensitive so it leaves traces to clean rgulierement.
Ergonomics trslgere no problem but looks up when playing as the setting is at the top center of the guitar.
and therefore we obtain the same without her rglage.

SOUNDS

Then I play rock surtt mtal the sound is standard big distortion tt on.
I am using ac 1 2 marshall JCM 900 c standard body jvou said. It must be heard to be believed not to beginners j'tait Strongly believes and pushing a pe volume of my amp it has rveill and I saw the power of the standard guitar . the clean sound but not good as this guitar is not really made for its not like a fender here requires c disto. after you see a pluto big crunch like ACDC or distortion of Death Pantera .. ac a pedal of course.

OVERALL OPINION

So I have this gutar for just one week in black
I bought it on ebay for 1 year old 760th yes yes you do not rv, 860 ac dc postage I am super happy daut over it before my first real guuitare javais an ibanez ergo in dimarz m pa ct that the evil has nothing to do. I think it's worth the price, no more than 1200th new. is a super skyscraper vrmen very nice sounding of thunder I believe that j'laime.

-Like the other. Standard 1992 (black).

UTILIZATION

- A jewel, but must love ... super easy to play ...

SOUNDS

-I bought it because I had no money for a Les Paul ... But it must be very very well with my style of play, although I expect soon to acquire a std LP sleeve 60 '(j 'y'm too used to the handle end !!!). But not for anything other than the childhood dream ...
Marshall vs8080, Cry-baby ,...( 5150 .... and now Peavey Classic 30).
-Heavy, heavy sound. May be too heavy, but it also comes from the amp ... I plan to buy a V-twin as a pre-amp and like it ... HP emulator vera after the Paul ... (It is controlled in a species of hunter used computer, it will be a post honeyburst 2002.), But here I digress! ... The childhood dream ...
-SG is great for walks in the arpeggios as for screaming solos. (Stairway to heaven without problems, however STH. It was a double neck SG EDS1275 live ... at least!), It is also good for killing and IWHM for velvet blues ... of course if you like simple bobi microphones. or-floyd roses! me perso .... I have chosen my camp.

OVERALL OPINION

-I got it secondhand in ninety-four (94) to € 550. Before, I had an Aria Pro II-the cat. which has since remained in its case!.
-The handle of the SG is by far his strong point, but its light weight and humbuckers that sound good fats should not be forgotten (although some prefer to change to a more modern, more accurate ... must see ! I am willing to exchange a pair of PAF against the original EMG ...!). It appears that his weak point is its lack of sustain, compared to a Les Paul ... of course! Otherwise weaknesses I see no ... Even the color of the case, we ended up getting used to ...
-Recently I had an Ibanez in the hands ... I was lost ... I could not find even the octave !!!.. For me the CS has become a habit, almost a drug ... I Gibson!
I have never tried the SG copies, there are yet many in the stores, after I'd go see comments from owners of other copies Epiphone ...
-For me it was an exellent deal, even though at the time I do not realize ... it's worth several times its purchase price, although I find that the price in stores, for a guitar as basic that the initial investment has already been depreciated several times, is a bit high.

Javais a twinge in the heart before the dessayer Guibson Standart. If you've read my other tests you know why.

How dmerdera this guitar legends?

Dabord the technical data:

Neck: 1 piece mahogany, al 22 boxes
Scale: 24 3 / 4
Mcaniques: Gibson bathroom dhuile
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Body: Mahogany Full
Pickups: I do not know
CONTRL: a slecteur 3 positions, 2 of potentiomtres potentiomtres 2 Tone Volume


Then limpression overall:

Linstrument is nice looking, its weight is INTERESTED in hand, not too lightweight, not too heavy. The wood of the body and the handle is correct and the graining is beautiful. For once, the body suffers OF ANY default, by the handle against evil is punctual and you can feel the wood grain, wood for the key is using what looks ugly and can be found on quon Corenne a 200 euros or an old oak table in my grand-mre. The binding of the handle is again possible with tremors. The varnish is affixed burr and gives a nice overall look. The guitar comes in a hardcase properly.

[5] Not great but not bad

UTILIZATION

Good news. The handle is poorly sanded but the frets are affixed. We can play this instrument a little more than others srieusement guitar brand. No frieze either. However rgl Linstrument nest and then cest APRS ltabli a passage through the test can finally Get You Started.

There is a round a little big, thick dune consquente seems typical til SERIES sg. His grip, however problmatique nest. The width is comfortable and acute CCAA is easy and fun.

[8] Plutt play, this guitar is fun to play trs

SOUNDS

We are in the great and beautiful here. This category in, I could never take a nai Gibson default. Sg ny This is not abstraction and offers a wide range of sounds.

When empty, the guitar well and rsons possde sustain correct. When the branch, you get the crunch of quality cleans fleshy with a nice smooth and nice distortion. Simply good.

In our potentiomtres ensure that the rglages effective and can take more advantage of the wide potential of microphones.

[9] nalready not perfect (almost)

OVERALL OPINION

Ringing beautifully, this standard is an instrument to play nice. The finish of the handle and net bad and the cheap wooden button, cotent overall points. The guitar also score a bowl, putting even small hiccups prcits forward. But in the register of SG, the gibson is lovely runner. Only the tokai ls 155 and some guitars luthiers prtendre can surpass this guitar (more fun to play because the sleeves even more effective, less Chres, to drink more and more pointed finite). But the two guitar mics prcites nont not Gibson. A lment here that makes the difference.

[6] Jai could try this scratching all day long in a shop in my region. There were guitars normment else better finished and more convincing to the touch. But here sagit dune affair got gibson please and touch many guitarists rputs. The note seems correct in light dun performance / qualitprix lgrement dsaventageux related competition.

Made in America
22 Frets, 2 Humbucker 490R & 498T
Tune-o-matic tailpiece stopbar
2 volumes, 2 tones
round profile 60 "rounded"

UTILIZATION

The handle is gniale! enjoyable, fast ...
Access in acute? What is more acute faile of Access in a SG MODEL 68 '? A model 61 'heel is not the same, but the CHAC 22me failite frets is a devil. rgonomie trs good weight issue I possde a G-400, which she also pitches down, but Gibson does not sting at all, I often drop the guitar and it stays in place, question well it's a Gibson! dja empty it sounds of thunder, once it's branch bridge pickups, volume and tone background and sound!

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music, I only rock 'n' roll crunch point so a good bar! I plug directly without effects! not even a volume pedals or whawha, nothing! my amp (peavey bandit 112 a top but should not for now) do not even know the channel clean, my footswitch? my dog ​​eats it (vridique!), the only thing between the guitar and the amp is my transmeteur wireless sound I have is a good crunch that sounds like "clean" when plays a single note, which becomes even surly ds we play a note and more, all sounds I dtest is that saturates too! kind mtal etc ... beginners in the SG too saturated but I back down from the bridge pickup and is nickel, the other microphone I use it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, I prfre in it, nothing, just that there's nothing more that would fit. I tried several MODEL none suit me even a Les Paul is a bit too bold as his. report qualitprix nickel, with the exprience I would do so this election more than once.
Note: only one Stud! the bridges are one-year death APRS! APRS is all but normal wear compared to my frquence utilistaion and changing strings, yeah change the strings every month eats the bridges! but my score does not drop so far

Dj prcdemment said. Gibson C, so it's solid. Book Flycase buy from Thomann. I put 9 in the absence of vibrato (well I made clear that c 9 as if it had had a yen because they rduisent Whereas sustain.

UTILIZATION

It is a round of bcheron, round IDAL for rhythmic solos too, but limited to the Shredder, so given the thickness of the handle (an ibanez compartment). But hey, Gibson is not for shredders. Access in acute nikel is in ac comparaiison a les paul!
The guitar is pretty lgre, but a trend nosedive the base of the strap is the base of the handle. APRS in terms of getting a good sound is in the fingers that was being played. Especially with a Gibson.

SOUNDS

This is one of five guitars that made the rock. And no two notes that jou understand why: we really feel that the guitar spits power the pure state! I Reue and hop a little paradise city and the slap Wow! I played on a Yamaha Pacifica before (very good for that matter) but the LE SON.On but easy to see why most guitarists runs on Gibson! Everything is there: an incomparable power, sustain inou treble worthy of the best days of this good or other Angus Jimmy Page (the reformation dde concert tonight!) Or, finally, another slash.
Anyway, you understood the sound is the big highlight of the bte regardless of the amp (Line 6, Fender, Marshall).

OVERALL OPINION

With two months back, I would advise that nimporte, ready to pay the price, to the proccurer. Compared all the other guitars I tried this is by far the best (in front Fender, PRS, Yamaha), albeit in a different style more oriented Shredder, it is better to buy an ibanez.

A little history: In 1960, Gibson is at the low point in the market for solid-bodies. The LP sold poorly (only 1700 standard LP sold between 58 and 61). Fender dominates. To boost sales, Gibson ProCD a complete redesign of the Les Paul, approaching (my review) of the Fender Stratocaster, a thinner body (more lgre), a double pan blow lgrement asymtrique (for better Access in acute) jack on the body, COMPTITE prices, ... The Premire SG (Solid Guitar) released in 1961, are called Les Paul / SG and are available in Standard, Junior and Custom. However the "new" Les Paul does not like him who lends his name. It will become just SG in 1963, when the contract between Gibson and Les Paul will end. When the original Les Paul, it does come back in 68 for the Goldtop and Custom, and even 75 (!) For Standard (sunburst), following the resurgence of interest that he include some big names 60 '(Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Keith Richard, ...). Once replacement for the Les Paul, SG A model is now well within the range from Gibson.

A beautiful guitar and well finished trs.

UTILIZATION

Warning: the very first time it seems to hold a toy in his hands, small sleeve, short scale. It will surprise the big paws (and more I come from the classical guitar then understand my astonishment).
Apart from a easy to play once used to. It smells all the quality levels. Lgre, excellent ergonomics, perfect balance, easy Access in sharp, a pleasure of every moment.

SOUNDS

You like Black Sabbath and AC / DC you will be served. the 2 humbuckers dlivrent a heavy sound and warm, but heavy ... Perfect for the blues (fats), hard rock and even metal. Pure joy, but mostly its a part: it is the sound of the Gibson SG.
It suddenly becomes Angus Young: All APRS me "Highway to hell ..."

OVERALL OPINION

At what happiness sounds like nothing that SG standard. And what quality manufacturing, all in a superb flight case. If you are like me your a fan of AC / DC or Black Sabbath, go for it! Everything is there.

Manufactures in the United States, and blah blah blah, you know all dj!
Two microphones.

A BMOL: the volume buttons are a bit difficult to handle.

UTILIZATION

The grip is identical to that of a Les Paul Standard.

SOUNDS

On my recording, the sound is sometimes a comparable low and that's what I was looking for (I used the microphone acute and severe with an inflated equalizer pedals).
But the microphone can be acute trs aggressive.
It has a good varieties of sounds in this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound of a Gibson Les Paul Standard with less weight.
The handle is the same.
I tried three other SG in the store and once in hand it impossible to return to the other!
I use a Fender Deluxe amp: it produces a big sound that allows me to compensate for the lack of a bass player in my group.
But if I use the micro acute, it is also aggressive.
Steve Albini itself congratulates me for this purchase: a guitar that can play all styles and on which we will never lose money according to him.
I am delighted and Espree keep a good time.
