«  Better than a les paul standard »

Published on 01/10/12 at 07:13
Everyone knows the SG from Yamaha to be the top of the basket of the brand with the user and Carlos Santana (to name him. There is therefore a guitar made entirely by hand in Japan, factories acoustics brand.
the inspiration of the model is more on the side of the Les Paul instead of Gibson SG from home because the body while mahogany is broad, convex, adorned with a superb fit for a blinding Custom surmounted by a real flamed maple table and not a single layer of wood.
as the inspiration we find the old method of construction, the simplest of solibody, mahogany body, mahogany neck with long tenon with an ebony fingerboard of 22 boxes for comfort which is rather late 60's way home gibson polish.
The fittings are gold plated type TOM and a pair of mechanical oil bath typed Grover.
Question electronic sound is provided with a pair of Yamaha humbucker splitable via a push-pull.
The routing is done via two volume and two tone with a toggle switch 500k.

UTILIZATION

The daily use of the guitar appears quite comfortable as long as you do not stand up because of the beautiful 5.8kilos are widely felt, more cutting Florentine cutaway appears uncomfortable even access to reveals himself as a solo LP.
However there is a cut at the belly remaining super comfortable when you got a little beer belly.
The sound is easy to find since you can do absolutely everything with, the most insane metal to blues SRV is absolutely terrible.

SOUNDS

For me it's still a fabulous guitar studio or collection.
Since the ring with an old Berhinger transistors and has denied that his sounds with Randall RM4 Laboga and The Beast is a pat on the guitar that has everything but his personality.
I would say its the most fun is not split the neck pickup is a feast for the solo blues and metal sweeps.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and I never tire of it, this guitar in spite of considerable weight and a cut cutaway unbearable, it is still a great guitar for recording and for a guitar that has of the mouth in concert.
With experience, the choice I would do without hesitation.
