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.
