Needless to repeat the features Gibson site does better than me.
For this type of guitar, needless to ask for more features.
Very nice shovel. We should all guitars made with a big plane and a pot of matt lacquer. A stroke is less cold than the species of cold shiny dragees. 10.

UTILIZATION

SG is the perfect guitar with its eats which makes an angle with respect to the table and its bevelled notches. Short guitar, flat handle.
We get a good sound with the bridge pickup, but the neck pickup is too muddy for me, at least on my amp.
Microphones series do a very good job, I believe a pair of gibson 490
Easily tune the bitch. it ruins the fun!

SOUNDS

For the big, roots rock, this is THE guitar. I play a Krank Nineteen80. This is the High Gain, and it suits him well. He was big plate agreement, she likes it. For solos, the rawness of the sound may lack sophistication. Then hop a small Phasor or Flanger and it's going well.
With CryBaby is a real delight.
The neck pickup is average I think. I do exploits in the solo parts I want serious purpose.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3-4 years. I previously played on a lot of Fenders, especially Telecaster. I wanted to go to Gibson curiosity. The Les Pauls seemed not ergonomic at all.
The Faded is a great value for money, except for a few flaws:
1 - Mechanical bad: think about the change of office, out of tune all the time
2 - cheapies pickguiard and soft
3 - trapping micro poorly designed
4 - position of the microphones can not make it parallel to the strings without adding a frame to the microphones
Because of these shortcomings, it is not a guitar that is the sub that I put at the beginning, given the mods I had to do next: P90 in the neck, new pickguard, new mechanical and adjustment humbuckers. So the argus and occasionally it's worth.
But this is a guitar qu'attachante.
