Value For Money :
Excellent
-See description below
UTILIZATION
fast & pleasant arm. the fact that it's varnished makes it a fast neck
the guitar is light but a bit neck heavy (normal with SG's) and the strap falls easily (by reflex I take all the time the strap detaches very easily).
Another negative point, it is very easy to tune (the tune, play Nirvana and breed of the carnage voyer)
the finish is pretty good for a guitar of this price, but traces of glue and plastic surrounding the micro leaves to be desired for its
Another negative point, the micro are surrounded by a kind of fat, and it had dried which formed a kind of stone. I had to disassemble the microphone of the handle and remove the stone (so I had to of course remove all the strings) / the stone was sizzle micro making it sound absolutely horrible
attention it scratches very easily, but that's normal since it is painted
SOUNDS
on a clean channel it's limited. The pickups tend to sizzle slightly, but the sound is still quite rough.
distortion it sounds a little better even if the sound is rough and not very clear
OVERALL OPINION
This is a guitar with an excellent price / quality ratio. not very expensive and an amazing quality for its price. pity the tuners get tired so fast and the pick-ups are limited. but for its price it is an excellent choice, and then it is a form SG, it is super nice ^ ^
EDIT: I removed the back plate to see what she has under the hood .... everything is recklessly put together (can't think of a better word), the welds are poor, the pots hold on on a wing & a prayer and when a knob is tightened you feel as if you tore a "piece" of wood. <div>
So: electrics really are perfectible! once we open it, the price becomes understandable</div>
