UTILIZATION

This guitar is simply wonderful. The materials are of outstanding quality. Gold hardware, triple binding on body, neck and head, shell galore on the head, burning on the tailpiece, three-piece body, neck-through ... phew!

Those who like to enjoy the wood: mahogany thickness is consistent. The weight of the guitar is affected, but still acceptable with a good strap. Add a table with curved flamed maple on the central ... It's beautiful. In short, finish and attention to detail impeccable.

The handle is very nice. Access to the highs is childish. The mechanical quality, holding the tuning impeccable.

SOUNDS

The electronic microphones and split the sound helps to qualify. Micro serious tone to 7 / 10 and the fingers played, very round and very hot. By mixing the micro splitter, eyeing one side at Leo Fender while retaining a lot of heat. And between these two types of sound changes are important. This guitar is therefore suitable for many styles.

Because of the wood used, I would say this guitar is like a Les Paul, but it is much more versatile thanks to microphones and split. In short, versatility and impeccable build quality are the adjectives that I attributed to him.

OVERALL OPINION

<ul> - I have this guitar for several years
- I love everything about her and especially the astronomical amount of wood that makes sense "to have something between the hands."
- Price / Quality: this guitar is not unfortunately. Its coast is climbing.
- I have tried many models including the Les Paul, before making my choice on this model. For me, it's incomparable. The Yamaha offers more than its rival in terms of both versatility of finishes.
- I would do without hesitation that choice any second, especially since it can only appreciate in value now. </ul>

I got this guitar a few years, and what other testers say is true: it's all good, certainly much better than the Les Paul Custom that I had prior to the SG2000.

The handle is through, beautiful room, with ebony fingerboard (it bounces too much for me), and the bridge is placed on a piece of brass rather than simply inserts the gibson.
I did not split, but the volume knobs are bypassing their own when they were fully open (electrically speaking they were no longer there), the sound was so straight to the amp. Yamaha made a variation of this assembly on the rgx drop6, but as a separate switch. The result is the same: his very frank and direct, without losses, significantly improved.

UTILIZATION

Chamfer to the coast, and placement of the standard guitar (not like the gibson sg, which makes you find yourself 3-4 boxes above ...).
Acute attacks perfect weight rather consistent. The neck is quite thick, not too broad, but the profile did not suit me at all. I tested the SG1000 present the same profile as mine.

The wiring is stupid, the gibson, very complicated and not at all intuitive, and the toggle switch is right on the path of tapping. Okay. No wonder Leo ale card ...

SOUNDS

Well, it's amazing clarity and tinsel, not the idea we have a sg. For me it was too shiny, too smooth, even sustain Dante. Tintin and without the split for the funk.

OVERALL OPINION

Used four years, traded it against a Universe that suited me very well, both sides have each a great deal.

I left a lp custom terrible was wrong, and I found myself with the sg which did not suit me either. Perhaps this concept I know.

In any case, the SG2000 is a beautiful piece of violin making, and despite its current rate is fairly high price. Note that the SG1000 is not historically correct (and non-standard set neck through), and is not much cheaper, so is the 2000 must be taken.

In short, try it before buying is essential, if possible on your amp.

I put the max rating because it is not her fault if I did not like ...
