«  A real, real sound! »

Hello,

USA, of course.
I waited to put up a notice and the previous one, because actually I think it is mostly dealers who would sell guitars settled.
I would not say where I bought mine, but new and well settled with good strings over (WB, lol), action game down without twisting.
Now for the freight, they are flawless and frets nickels, anyway, I do not feel one hanging from the handle, even with its layers of varnish and less. There may be a lottery in the control.
Microphones 496 and 500 which tear, a real sound.
The basic adjustments with the controls mentioned above.

UTILIZATION

As already stated, a great handle, easy to play, see Tips for maintenance.
The interface is what is done best with the SG in terms of weight, collector of shovels, I dropped my Strato (Fender) and my two Lespaul
(Cort Epiphone and Evil) Because the weight! I no longer play on my two Faded as needed, Gibson and Epiphone SG flying changes. To say that with the weight of years, the weight of the guitar is important.
Access to acute, given its shape, the better off.
The sound, despite its lighter varnish, is the same as her sister, the microphones are also something, then the whole Mahogany anyway.

SOUNDS

Surprising, but yes it is very versatile.
I use a lot of effects, the choice of the microphones is just for the select or clear lens, with respect to saturated, it's great. The heat of a Vox AC 30 or AC 15 ADV for the home, everything is good.
I do not hate any of my sounds, I have a weakness for fat sounds and also the types of overdrive, slightly saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

She began her second year and has succeeded on many guitars.
Surely one of my best in its class.
Pros: its weight and foremost, his vintage form.
Cons: the chance of not having one.

The value for money, uh bought cheaper than new and less good, ie € 690 at the time, for sure I buy it back on.

Gibson Faded made with a beautiful gift to the world of music.
