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!
