Guitar made in Asia

Two Wilkinson humbuckers (excellent)

Two volume controls and two tone controls plus 3-way toggle switch. Nothing new! I like the Gibson-type neck.

UTILIZATION

I like the playability of the Gibson-type neck

Access to the upper frets is no problem

Typical SG playability. This guitar is lighter than an original SG and not very well balanced. My Strat is better balanced

Good sound, good pickups. I find it sounds better than an Epiphone. The sound is very similar to an original SG with my Peavey tube amp.

SOUNDS

The sound is really good when I play rock in the line of ACDC and Telephone.

I play with a Valveking 112.

The sound is round and warm. The guitar is very good with a light distortion. You can also play the blues with it but it's definitely not its favorite music style.

As I already said this guitar is great with a light distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

10 months (no problem whatsoever)

Pros: Sound, hardware, weight (not too heavy), finish, looks.

Cons: Unbalanced weight, front strap pin.

I also tested an Epiphone SG and it didn't sound so good.

Stunning value for money!

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
