us manufacturing, handle 60's, mahogany and rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, pickups 490R and 498T in the handle easel, 2 volumes, 2 tones, while very progressive way, 3-position selector, nothing original to a gibson sg standard, but if this is research, it's just parfait.le varnish according to more or less light is red or orange, it's just simple but very beautiful, you can see the ribs wood.The body is 3 parties It's not that it's ugly but surprising, especially since it is normally on the one part, but hey I think it makes no difference son.Les level finishes are just excellent, no grip, no false connections I heard enough gibson manufactured crap ends badly, for my part, no complaint, it's just nickel.

UTILIZATION

the handle for good grip thinner than a gibson sg faded which I believe to handle 50's, access to acute is optimal (obviously for sg), and yes you get a good sound for those who love jazz with 490 blues in an intermediate position, and see the rock metal microphones chevalet.ultra versatile.

SOUNDS

my music wanting more towards the metal, this guitar normally is not me, it is very obviously for the ac / dc, but the trash, death metal, hardcore, etc, etc ... it is a fair bit less to boost your amp with a good distortion pedal + a boost, and it really is the foot, I am amused to pay me to drop and it is délire.On has a full sound , fat (according to distortion), the sustain and sound Gibbie aggressive for the stoner, the sabbath, big sound what ...
clean sounds, I also like to play pure, without effects on, everything is good, arpeggio, chords, on the other hand was a round and warm and not crystalline, we must not forget that these are the humbuckers.je plays on a small tube amp excellent, ibanez tube screamer with 5 tsa integrated, it is a treat, whether in blues, jazz, light saturated or there is nothing to throw.

OVERALL OPINION

it'll soon be three years since I have, I had tried everything maple and a faded sg sg raw power, and inevitably this is the standard that I was most attached, although the raw was not bad but feeble to come out with 57 compared to 490 498.Ce I like most is necessarily the sound I get out, and the form of the 50 banks whose granny I changed mechanical for Grovers for better tuning stability. What to say except that this guitar covers a lot of styles, it is versatile, multipurpose, you can even do with funk (intermediate position in clean + boost pedal, sisi ...) this old version of the sg is for me the most attractive, new since 2013 are almost copied / pasted on sg 61 and more expensive Mine to further the interests frieze it a little adjustment in the luthier should fix it. 750 euros secondhand she is, and even today it also costs chère.je do it again this choice without hesitation despite some flaws (who does not?) possède.Reste it anyway to try a few copies sg voodoo, threat, dead, supreme, 61 by changing the pickup gothic, and the grail, Tony Iommi sg, which is just perfect, but most occurred.
