Guitar brand Vintage, model VS-6, finition Artic White.
Mahogany body and set neck mahogany, 2 humbuckers, bridge-like tune-o-matic, 22 frets, 2 volume, 2 tone 1 3 position selector, it is the characteristics of the SG.
All hardware, pickups and Wilkinson are mechanical, it needs no introduction, equipment equip countless guitar, medium and high end.
The finishes are very good bill, it could be better but the guitar could also coûtée most expensive ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin profile of type 60s, one of the best handle on which it was given me to play, no problem.
The frets are perfectly set up, they are well polished, the action is low, incustations (or imitation pearl ...???) perfectly in place as well.
playing comfort and access to the treble is superb, worthy of much more Honner guitar, and I know what I mean, I have another one in USA Standard Telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul Standard DC, the handle is as comfortable as latter.
The guitar is relatively light, with a slight tendency to pitch down as any SG model.

SOUNDS

I have to admit was amazed by the sounds of the pickups wilkinson!!
I said it is a copy of the SG 61 ', and copies it perfectly apply.
Velvety sound in the neck pickup, a microphone and powerful sharp-edged, all sonoritées are possible, from blues to metal, playing with the controls and equalizer amp.
Before receiving the guitar, I had to purchase a set of Gibson pickups (490R and 498T) thinking that a change of pickups would be essential.
I've finally sold.

OVERALL OPINION

The quality / price is more than excellent!
I still have that guitar today and I'm not ready to sell it!
I also have other guitars much Honner, more prestigious brand, best known, but we must recognize that today, new brands made in China, Korea and others are frankly ready to compete with models much more expensive ...
And we will not complain, right??
I play the guitar for almost 20 years and I assure you that a few years back, it was impossible to have an instrument of this quality at this price ...
I would do this choice without hesitation.
I'm going to definitely buy a model Lespaul.
In short for those who want a very good guitar SG type, go for it at this price, you have a super skyscraper.
