Gibson sg standard 2010 made in USA

Easel Tune O'Matic

Channel 60's profile mahogany

-22 Frets with keys oysters, two of Gibson a 498 t in the bridge and a 490 r handle
-2 Volumes, two tones and a three-position selector

UTILIZATION

- The handle although it is more impressive than a strat is very nice and is great in hand, shred plans are very possible for the most talented.

-The interface is excellent, the guitar is very light and profile C can navigate well on the handle without anything coming gener our progress. A downside, however about the game seated, the handle tends to nosedive.

- Access to acute is optimal, is is disconcerting.

- It is easy to get a good sound but a lot depends on your config as a bad amp with bad effects = bad sound (regardless of whether the guitar is 100 or 2000 euros)

SOUNDS

- This guitar suits my style: Alternative Rock, guitar itself has a lot of medium, more than treble to me (this problem does not necessarily have can be solved by setting the tone and the trebble your amp max)
However this is a much more versatile guitar you might think, you just tame, play on the guitar tones from the amp ... You can play with almost all pop, blues, hard rock, jazz, grunge, punk ... except sounds too extreme or too slamming (strat / tele style)

- The sounds are rather fat and rather focus on the midrange, treble and the bass is round and warm.

- I use a Laney Cub 12 and a pedal overdrive Boss SD1

- I love the sound of this guitar very rock. There really its not that I hate, as I have already said just spend a little time on the settings to find what you're looking for.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a me now, this is my first real guitar after a Squier Stratocaster, suddenly the comparison did not even place to be ^ ^.
However, I have not try a lot of other guitars among friends and in stores (U.S. Strat, Jaguar, gibson les paul studio, Prs Custom 24 With ...) The strat remains my favorite guitar model but a short head, because whatever the level of finishes or its SG buries most of the guitars that I've experienced.
The feature I like most is that optimal access to acute and very light body, I am less a fan of the neck pickup but that's pretty subjective.
I remake this choice a thousand times, I could not find better value for money level (buy 700 euros with lots of accessories to a guy who does not play guitar)
