UTILIZATION

The handle is a comfort and a perfect profile, round and fairly large compared to a stratum or a reissue SG 61 (after it's not a stick shreed), I have a strat mexico which also has a superb round, the two are different but the best of the best.
The instrument is a remarkable lightness, yet the violin and quality of wood used are excellent, we see that this is an American guitar and not made in bangladesh-les-Bains ...
The shape of the body, well it's an SG, as well comfortable standing than sitting, the guitar is well balanced, access to acute magistal is (still better than a strat), one reaches the last box without any problems.
After the look and feel of violin making have their weight in gold, but you still have to see what gives its trendy =)

SOUNDS

So for now we say is matter of taste, you 60's rock like a little psychedelic rock or hard rock 70's 80's like Led Zepp very fat 'or later AC / DC or even quieter as Lynyrd Skynyrd? Ben is the guitar you need, the clean sound has often tend cruncher, it can sometimes be awkward to play jazz or arpeggios well cast, but hey SG is certainly still versatile enough (less than Start or a Les Paul and we agree) but it has its records. Sounds clear to the stairway to heaven, warm and precise still be very affordable, although I find his position clear in acute not super terrible, but it can have its charm.
In c the crunch as its gets really interresting, the microphones will attract serious blues hot sumer see if we push a fat little more (even if the blues slamming a stratum has its charm too). In micro acute ben sa potato, fat and sharp as a SG worthy of the name (c is the only difference with the noise level of the Special Faded 490T), and once you are in my gain, Sustain is terrible and the riffs and solos to the AC / DC and Black Sabbath (there may not always bridge pickup) will be fatal!
After jazz lover (she can still pass), soul, heavy metal and funk mostly try another model, the SG will not be made too for his (its hard to go well for the Iron Maiden, Metalica to but limits).
I only takes me 9 because I like the clicking sound as funky, but its a Start I (it is rather because his level, for me, perfection does not exist, but in the field of the SG, one would approach).


OVERALL OPINION

I use now for 3 days, I love ...
Have a nice alternative to my strat (which is always good to have different type of guitar), or rather my strat become a good alternative to my Gibson =)
I tried quite a few models before as the Epiphone G400 (not bad at all for the price, but lacks personality compared to a Gibson), the Gibson SG Raw Power (not like too slammed, less fat ) and the Special Faded has my eyes is the best value in the range, the sound is almost as good as an SG Standard, but the finish also shows the price difference, after everyone's tastes =)
The value for money, I will not run, we will say that it is its price (1100-1200 € in nine store is pretty expensive) but it has high-end made in USA, so I'll say which has for its money ...
I like everything about this guitar, in the register for which it is done well on ...
With the decline (3 days bof what level decline), I REFERRED that choice without hesitation, but well try the instrument and inspect the property store before buying, to see if it suits you it does not fall on a bad model (rather rare for Gibson in this price range, but it exists). A marvel
