USA, fixed bridge, 2 humbuckers with 2 volume + tone settings.

UTILIZATION

The handle is perfect (for my taste) and for those like me who do not support the weight of a Les Paul, this is a good compromise. Although talk of compromise for this guitar is not fair!

I got this guitar for my 20 years (I'm almost 43) and I still have it.

Great sound, easy to use and above all reliability.

It went from the maker when I came to receive because there was a piece that was taken down towards the bridge if I remember right. and she returned to the maker a few years later, when I wanted oter micro cache and I had done more harm than good, otherwise nothing to report.

SOUNDS

I played lots of different styles since I: new wave, pop, metal, rock, funk ... and it is at home anywhere
For metal I had tried other brands oriented in this style with the look and everything, but at the sound here was really not, so I still have my SG.
Always connected in marshalls.
Currently with JMP1 changed.
Always happy with the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I therefore used for over twenty years with great satisfaction.

Currently I have a dozen guitars and it is in my top3.

What I like most, sound, weight, ease of use, easy to play standing as seated, reliability over time.

What I like least, the varnish is gone to pieces because of the belt buckle, but there is a good bit my fault, but I remember it was pretty quick party ... the mechanical origin who were not top and I spertzel replaced by mechanical or other blocking (remember exactly)

Yes I would do this choice because it was a gift, I would do even more!
