UTILIZATION
Playability is a dream on an SG Standard. The double cutaways are very deep, and the neck joins the body near the end of the fretboard, closer than on most guitars, so fret access is sublime. The neck feels fantastic, as if the carve and fretboard radius were built for my hand. Controls are easy to reach, yet plugging in a straight end cable is a tad annoying, as it juts out near the controls. My guitar has a Maestro Vibrato system, and it is great for subtle Bigsby-style vibrato, with a severe helping of cool. It's a classy, yet edgy looking guitar.
SOUNDS
This guitar is bold and aggressive, but can be smooth and subtle. The inherent acoustic resonance is undeniable - you can feel the guitar vibrate in your hand, probably more than any other guitar I have ever played. Bridge pickup tones would cut through a steel bank vault, with all the bite in the world, yet all notes and chords retain a crystal clarity. The neck pickup tone is thick and singing, which is what you hear on the early Santana records.
OVERALL OPINION
This guitar is fantastic, a true classic. There is a reason why this guitar is one of the most enduring and iconic designs of all time - it rocks! The SG Standard is a true winner all the way around, and I would recommend that every guitar player try one out at some point.00- ericthegreat
bonne guitare ol
Publié le 25/11/11 à 05:43 (contenu en anglais)I have been eyeing a Gibson SG Standard for quite a while now. I picked this one off the wall at GC in Texas and I fell in love. The coil-tap is sweet but it isn't perfect and to be honest if you are truly looking for that single-coil tone then just buy a Stratocaster. What it does provide is the ability to gig with one guitar and get darn close to that true single-coil sound when you need it.
UTILIZATION
The finish is beautiful, I have the Vintage Sunburst and I love it. The sounds are bold, cutting and pristine. They shine on solos they just have that ability to cut through the band. Many of my band members thought I spent much more than the retail price. The neck is amazing smooth and comfortable. The binding is beautiful and adds to the authentic look and feel of the Les Paul. Just in genereal the feel of this guitar is great and it has a really nice color to it as well. I think this version comes in a few different colors.
SOUNDS
The guitar is heavy don't discount that if you play long sets. I am used to a relatively heavy guitar. This LP isn't chambered. which is something that I enjoy. I feel that chambering, although reduces weight, calms down sustain. This baby will hold a note while you grab a sandwich and when you get back it will still be humming.
OVERALL OPINION
The overall sound of the guitar is everything you would expect from a Les Paul. Every note shines through out of this instrument. I play it through a Mesa/Boogie Mark V and it basically sounds as perfect as I had imagined it would in my head. You can never go wrong with a Gibson, I definitely recommend getting this one. The SG Gibson Standard is at the top of its class.00 - shabool

AVIS GLOBAL
Acheté 800e neuve je dois dire que je suis ravis de cette achat. Cette guitare représente le meilleur du rock pour moi. Elle à le look et le son.00 - swmcv2007Publié le 21/01/09 à 17:22 (contenu en anglais)This guitar was made in the U.S.A. by one of the best in the business, Gibson USA. It has 22 frets, with the beautiful but not too flashy trapezoid fret inlays. It comes equipped with the stock 490R and 498T pickups for the neck and bridge respectively. The stock bridge and tailpiece are the standard Stopbar and Tunomatic bridge in chrome. It also comes with 4 black "witch hat" knobs, 1 volume and 1 tone for each pickup. Right next to those is the 3 way selector switch that comes with a cream tip. They come with a set neck which means that the neck was glued to the body which is harder to repair but reaps greater benefits for tone and sustain. Overall beautiful guitar that comes with everything you need to rock (Except for the talent and an amp.)
UTILIZATION
The neck is the reason I bought this guitar. It is so smooth and easy to play on, a baby could out-shred Eddie Van Halen on it. The neck is supposed to be a "thick 50's style" but I find the neck on mine to be more middle of the road. It is nice and wide like Gibson's necks in the 50's models. The frets are very well fitted. On some necks (especially the Gibson Faded Special line) you will find that the frets stick out and scratch your hand. On this guitar there are no such problems, you can slide your hand up and down the neck all day without even noticing. The access to the higher frets is another great feature to this guitar. Even the highest note rings loud and clear on this baby. The frets are also spaced well enough that you can hit that high note without any trouble either. Overall the finest neck I've ever played.
The size and shape of the SG Standard are extremely user friendly. When I wear on it onstage, it feels like an extension of my body. I'd say mine weighs only a few pounds which is nice because you get all that tone without it breaking your back like a Les Paul. The "devil horned" shape is a rock classic that most guitarists would be proud to own. Like I said earlier, the access to the higher frets is a big bonus on this guitar and it is due to the double cutaway.
In terms of acquiring a good sound, the SG excels. Every tone you get out of one of these is a rock classic. Just plug it right into the amp and you can dial in any riff or solo.
SOUNDS
The SG's pickups are very meaty and powerful. You will have no problem rocking hard with one. Through a clean channel you can get awesome jazz tones. They are very smooth and buttery. You just have to roll the volume and tone knobs back a little while using the neck pickup. You can also overdrive a clean channel with awesome results. With distortion this guitar really shines. You can do AC/DC riffs just like Angus Young on the bridge, or you can crank it up and roll the tone back a little bit for a buttery Eric Clapton tone.
I run it through a Fender Blues Deluxe for practicing at home and the humbuckers overdrive the amp perfectly. The distortion on the amp is nice but it shines when overdriving the clean channel. You can a great Rolling Stones type of overdrive. For band practice I run it through an old Marshall JCM head I have and it really rocks. Playing it clean is a little muddy but Marshall's specialize in distortion. A Gibson through a marshall is match made in rock heaven so I suggest you try it out.
For pedals I use a Earthbound Supercollider fuzz which allows me to get real heavy sludge rock types of sounds. I mainly use it for leads and when paired with regular distortion I get a cool Brian May flavored tone. I also use a Dunlop Cry Baby and while it doesn't cover Hendrix stuff the best, it can nail the solo in Thin Lizzy's "The Warrior" perfectly.
My favorite sounds are the Eric Clapton "woman tone" which can be attained by putting the pickup selector in the middle position and rolling both tone knobs back almost all the way. It's very thick and juicy. It is also very authentic. The other main sound I use is the George Harrison Revolver tone. To get this just put your pickup selector in the bridge position and roll the volume knob back a little bit and add some distortion. You will have the perfect "Rain" and "She Said She Said" guitar tone.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been playing this guitar for a year now exclusively and I love it more everyday. The neck is amazing, the tone is unmatched, and the craftsmanship is awe-inspiring. From the minute I picked up this guitar I knew I had a winner. I love everything about it except that the G tuning peg became slightly loose but I got it replaced at the store I bought it for free. I was going to buy a Les Paul Standard before I bought this. I had the money all ready and I was just waiting for the line in the store to die down. In the meantime I picked up the SG Standard I own now and immediately fell in love. It sounded just as good as the Les Paul except the neck was faster and the guitar didn't weigh anything. The Les Paul was 1400 used and the SG was 900 used but it amazing condition. I bought it without even playing the Les Paul again. I wish I could find another SG for 900, that was an amazing deal. I think they run at 1600 new now which isn't the worst.
If I were to lose this guitar, I would immediately buy another one. I've played other SG Standards and they all felt great. Another thing I love about them is that there aren't any cut corners. If you were to buy one of the nicer Gibson Models the only extra features would be that it looks vintage. Not only that, but there are a billion different replacement parts you can install to make this guitar everything you ever wanted. Enjoy!00 
moosersPublié le 21/04/09 à 03:27 (contenu en anglais)The Gibson SG Standard is made in the USA and has 23 frets on it. It has two Gibson made pick ups that each have knobs for volume and tone control. There is also a switch to choose between the pick ups, or to use them together. It has a beautiful chrome pattern on the inlay and the Heritage Cherry finish is probably the color that is most associated with this guitar.
UTILIZATION
The neck of the Gibson SG Standard feel really great on the fingers. It is easy to play because of this, whether you want to play lead or rhythm guitar. It is easy to access the top notes and to play all around the neck. The Gibson SG Standard isn't heavy, but isn't light and it has the shape and look that has become synonymous with the SG. Getting a nice sound is easy because the inherent tone is extremely full bodied and is packed with punch.
SOUNDS
The Gibson SG Standard is great playing rock music, especially for heavier rock because of the huge wall of sound that radiates from this instrument. The sound was made famous by Angus Young of ACDC and continues to be a mainstay in the world of guitars. I usually plug this guitar into a '76 Fender Twin Reverb or a Marshall JCM 800, depending on what type of sounding I'm going for. While the clean sound is definitely good sounding, this guitar really excels when you throw some distortion on your tone.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Gibson SG Standard for about five years and it is definitely one of my favorite guitars to use for recording rock music. The price of this guitar is very reasonable considering the top notch quality that come along with it. The crunch and bite from this guitar makes it perfect for rock and roll, even though it would work fine in other situations as well. This is a totally unique guitar that has been copied again and again, but can nothing can be like the real thing. If you are looking for a great guitar that will last a long time, the Gibson SG Standard is absolutely worth a try.00- King Loudness
Guitare rock Un tueur, mais parfois incompatibles
Publié le 28/04/11 à 03:56 (contenu en anglais)The USA made Gibson SG Standard is a guitar first designed in the early sixties as an update to the then outdated and fading Les Paul Standard. It was a much sleeker guitar than its sibling, and that's still true today. It's very contoured and much lighter than most Les Pauls or single cut/carved top guitars. However it still is able to retain a lot of that Gibson thickness and low end that the guitars are known for.
The SG Standard has a very thin and contoured mahogany body, set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, Kluson tuners, tuneomatic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and dual Gibson 490R/498T humbucking pickups, each with its own volume and tone control, and a 3 way selector to switch between the pickups. This reissue is based off of the late '60s SG Standard with the larger pickguard, so if you want one based off of the early '60s model, look into the SG '61 reissue.
UTILIZATION
The SG was designed to be a more ergonomic and easier to play/hold version of the Les Paul way back when, and the same is true today. It's a very light guitar that sits very well on the body. Some of them have a problem with "neck dive" (where the neck will dive towards the floor when you let go for it) but there are ways to control that. The upper fret access is very good because of the sculpted cutaways that are scooped out enough to reach the highest frets. The only thing that hinders upper fret access is the slightly blocky heel for the neck joint, but that is the case with most Gibson guitars I've tried.
Getting a good tone out of the SG Standard is no easier or harder than with a Les Paul or Flying V or whatever else. Because it's constructed of mahogany, it sounds very thick and dark like a Gibson solidbody should. However, because it's lighter and there is less wood there, it is a bit brighter and thinner than say, a Les Paul. It works well for clean tones because of it's balance between dark and bright frequencies. The dirty tones are great as well and they sit in a good frequency range that isn't muddy, nor ear piercingly bright.
SOUNDS
I've tried the SG Standard through various Fender, Marshall and Mesa Boogie amplifiers, all with very good results. The guitar excels to me at rock/hard rock based tones because of the 490R/498T pickups, which aren't my favourite pickups that Gibson offers, but they work well enough in this guitar.
Clean tones are very good considering the pickup choice. The neck pickup offers some nice quasi jazz tones and the bridge pickup offers some somewhat country esque tones with the amp dialed in fairly bright and clean.
The dirty tones have a nice balance between thick and bright (IE: Gibson tone and Fender). It holds up very well for classic British tones as well as modern super-saturated American tones equally. I would say the pickups are geared towards the latter, with a slightly scooped mid sound that works well with higher gain tones. It also cuts through very well for leads and sits well in a band mix with another guitar (IE: Les Paul).
OVERALL OPINION
The SG Standard is a great sounding and playing guitar that offers a great alternative to the heavy and somewhat clunky Les Paul. The price of about $1,400 CAD is very reasonable for what you are getting I feel, and on the used market they go for sub $800 prices on occasion, which is great. My biggest gripe with the SG is consistency. I've played many of them and there was no rhyme or reason as to which one would be great or which one would be a total dog. I've had better luck with Les Pauls personally as far as finding a good one. Perhaps the fact that they build/sell them for so much cheaper than a fully furnished Les Paul could be a reason why I find so many dogs. Maybe I'm just an LP guy at heart, who knows...
Either way, the SG is a great rock guitar. It's light, plays well, sounds good and has lots of tones available. If you find one that fits you, you can't go wrong with one.00 - Hatsubai
Le SG standard
Publié le 03/05/11 à 19:53 (contenu en anglais)The Gibson SG Standard is just that -- it's the standard SG that everybody thinks of when they think of SGs. It features a uniquely shaped mahogany body, mahogany set neck, a bound rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, special inlays, hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, a pickguard, two volume knobs, two tone knobs and a three way switch.
UTILIZATION
The SGs are really cool guitars that tend to stand out from the crowd. Whenever I think of SGs, I tend to think of either Frank Zappa or Angus Young, personally. However, the guitar has a few issues. For one, it's extremely neck heavy. This causes it to neck dive any time you play the guitar as the body is very lightweight. You'll be supporting the neck and playing it at the same time, so it can be a bit difficult to work. The upper fret access is also a bit dependent on how you play as the joint can get in the way.
SOUNDS
Gibson SGs are tonally somewhere between a Flying V and an Explorer. They have the thickness that you'd expect from something like the Explorer, but they also have that aggression and punchy sound that the Flying V delivers. This is mainly due to its smaller, light body. I'm not a huge fan of the stock humbuckers in this, so I tend to replace them with something else. Once replaced, however, this thing totally comes to life, and it's extremely versatile thanks to the control layout.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're looking for an SG, I highly recommend picking this one up over the other models. It looks great, sounds great and feels pretty nice too. Pay particular attention to the fretwork as Gibsons can be very hit or miss when it comes to fretwork. Also make sure it stays in tune as Gibsons tend to have issues with improperly cut nuts.00 - tjon901
L'autre classique de Gibson
Publié le 15/05/11 à 03:01 (contenu en anglais)In the early 60s Gibson was looking to lower production costs of the Les Paul. To do this they redesigned it to have a flat top and double cutaways. What we know now as the SG was introduced as the new Les Paul in 1961. Later on the real Les Paul was re-introduced and the new guitar was renamed the SG. The standard SG of today is exactly that, the standard SG. The guitar features the classic dual cutaway SG body with a 22 fret neck. It features dual humbucking pickups selected with a 3 way toggle switch and two tone and two volume knobs.
UTILIZATION
The SG was designed in such a way to give better fret access than the earlier Les Paul. The neck is not mounted as deep into the body as is with the Les Paul. This design gives it a few problems. The neck joint on SG models is very weak compared to Les Pauls or even bolt on guitars. This weak neck joint makes some SG's prone to going out of tune. With the neck mounted so far out on the body and the body being so thin and light, SG's are prone to neck dive. When playing an SG standing up you may find yourself holding up the neck due to this awkward balance between the neck and the body.
SOUNDS
With their thinner flatter bodies SG's tend to have a tone slightly thinner than that of a Les Paul. Some people say it sounds more like a Gibson Flying V than a Les Paul. The smaller body also helps make the tone different than that of a Les Paul. Gibson pickups are mainly designed for classic rock. These pickups tend to offer a medium output. If you are looking to play heavier music you may want to replace the pickups with aftermarket higher output models.
OVERALL OPINION
The people who play SG's swear by them. Famous artists that play SG's usually only play SG's. Some of these artists include Derek Trucks, Tony Iommi and Frank Zappa. If you are looking to buy an SG I recommend trying one out first. Check the fretwork and the tuning stability if you can. Other than that an SG is as solid as any other Gibson guitar.00 - King Loudness
None More Black
Publié le 15/08/11 à 04:52 (contenu en anglais)The Gibson SG Standard was designed in the very early sixties as an attempt to spice up what at the time was known as the Les Paul. Despite changing the LP's design around several times, it wasn't selling well and Gibson's designers felt that a lighter and more sculpted guitar was the ticket. Les Paul did not like the new Les Paul "SG" model, and by 1963 his name was removed from the model leaving it to be called the Solid Guitar, or SG for short.
The SG Standard has a fairly thin and contoured mahogany body, set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, Kluson tuners, tuneomatic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and dual Gibson 490R/498T humbucking pickups, each with its own volume and tone control, and a 3 way selector to switch between the pickups. This reissue is based off of the late '60s SG Standard with the larger pickguard, so if you want one based off of the early '60s model, look into the SG '61 reissue which contains more features that are consistent with the original early sixties design such as the smaller pickguard, a slightly different headstock shape and a few other minor tweaks as well. This particular guitar features an ebony finish that is very striking to look at. I definitely prefer it over the Heritage Cherry model for looks.

It's a common malady with cheaper Gibson guitars I find, not just the SG, but the SG does seem more likely to find a dog as opposed to a really awesome one hanging on the wall.
Either way, the SG is a great rock guitar. It's light, plays well, sounds good and has lots of tones available. If you find one that fits you, you can't go wrong with one.00 - tjon901
SG standard pour les gauchers
Publié le 15/08/11 à 23:51 (contenu en anglais)I am a vocal critic of the lack of left handed guitars there are for sale. I am a primarily left handed player. Working on and selling guitars for so long I can get by on a right handed guitar now but all of my personal guitars are left handed. It is crazy how little options there are for left handed people. Limited options along with the mark up on lefty guitars is pretty sad. This is one of Gibsons few lefty guitars. This is an SG standard which is the standard SG nowadays. The standard SG now is the large pickguard SG model. I prefer the smaller 61 style SG's but only the 60s tribute model with the P90s comes in lefty. That is one of my favorite models by the way. With the standard model you get the large pickguard design which is cheaper to produce because the pickguard hides the routing. The body is mahogany. The neck is a set in mahogany piece which is the 50s profile which I dont like and is not really even accurate for an SG. The 60s tribute SG comes with a 60s neck which an SG should come with since the SG is a 60s guitar. The Standard comes with the fat 50s neck you get on most Les Pauls. You get a rosewood fretboard with 22 medium frets. Standard non locking tuners up top and a non locking tune-o-matic bridge at the bottom. The pickups are a standard set of Gibson 490/498 in the neck and bridge respectively. The controls are standard Gibson with a volume and tone each with a 3 way.
UTILIZATION
When the SG was designed it was designed to fix the design flaws in the Les Paul that hampered playability. With these new SG standards they take away half of the improvements that the SG was supposed to have over the Les Paul. The upper fret access on the guitar is much better than that of a Les Paul because of the double cutaway body shape. The 50s neck does not help playability. It is much bigger than the 60s style neck that the SG is supposed to have. The 50s style neck was one of the things they changed in the early 60s because they knew it was difficult to play on. Because of the SG shape the guitars can be a bit neck heavy and the fat neck on this model does not help this. Non locking tuners and a non locking bridge in this day and age is pretty silly. People should tell Gibson and the other big companies that they need to enter the 21st century and add these features. You can get these things on just about any ESP guitar. Gibson uses a veil of traditionalism to excuse their lack of advancement in the realm of guitar features.
SOUNDS
The pickups in this guitar are average Gibson pickups. They are nothing special. They have more of a classic rock tone than anything else. The bridge is a bit crunchy and has a bit of gain to it but is pretty insufficient for metal. It is not very smooth either so it does not have the best clean tone. The neck pickup is a little better in the realm of a clean tone but it can get a bit muddy. It is smoother for lead playing and you can get some bluesy and even jazzy tones with it. By comparison the 61 SG reissue comes with 57 Classics in both positions these are much better pickups overall.
OVERALL OPINION
If you are lefty and are looking for an SG this usually is your only choice but you can still find SG 60s tributes out there. With the 61 design with P90 pickups. I would recommend that model over this one. But if you have to have humbuckers this is your only option unless you can find a 61 reissue in lefty. Always expect to pay more and have to look around harder for a lefty model of any guitar. That is just the way of life for a lefty guitar player.01 - iamqman
Heaven and Hell
Publié le 18/08/11 à 23:42 (contenu en anglais)The Gibson SG guitar is a classic looking guitar features to pointed horns on the top of the body. It's easier the identified and recognizable guitar that takes a lot of influence from the Gibson Les Paul but has his own personal thing going. It has a great tone to great hard rock voicing for high gain distortion and over driven sounds. It is a rock 'n roll guitar machine that will serve its user well night tonight getting into touring.
This is a throw back to the old Gibson Sg's from the 60's. It has basically everything you would expect from a guitar that was made back then. It has a great feel and a unique feel from all other Gibson guitars

The tone of this guitar is very rich ,fat, and warm. You can get a lot of sustaining in town from these pickups and this body of mahogany wood and mahogany neck with Rosewood support. The body would lend themselves to a deep rich fat tone against the user an ample amount of driving rhythm and lead guitar talents. It sounds a lot like a Gibson Les Paul but only a little bit thinner and overall voicing. This is duty because of the center body style in law elongated neck frets. This is a classic looking guitar and a classic sounding guitar.

I highly recommend this guitar to any one is looking for a great tone machine and great guitar that will last him or her a lot of gigging and band use. This is also a great guitar for someone who wants to have a good solid sunny guitar for their home use or office use. At new you can get these guitars for ride around $1200. That's a pretty good price for Gibson last known SG guitar. I would recommend this to someone to love the tap sounds of classic rock guitar and need something that will work with modern new music is well. It's a great price and great sound for not a whole lot of money.00 - iamqman
Solide guitare pour le prix
Publié le 18/08/11 à 23:52 (contenu en anglais)I have been a fan of Gibson guitars since I first learned how to play the guitar. They have continued to be one of the best sounding guitar builders in the world. I am particular to the Les Paul guitar but even the SG finds a special place in my heart. The tone of SG so takes a lot from the gives Les Paul it's still has its own thing going on. It is a classic reach warm tone that sits very well in the music. If you've ever listen any AC/DC album and you've heard this guitar.
This is a great looking guitar and a fantastic sounding guitar as well. You can get a lot of musical miles with this guitar. Sometimes a Gibson guitar can be hit or miss, so I would recommend this guitar to anyone who can try it out first.

I would like the heritage cherry look. It really blends well with the nature and character of this guitar. If I had to pick one color to match the 60 sound of the Gibson SG it wouldn't be red but rather can vintage white. I love sound of this guitar was a high gain very loud Marshall style amplifier. The mix with this amplifier in this guitar is exactly what Pete Townsend was looking for when he first grabbed the Gibson SG. Put an Ibanez tube screamer in front of this amp this guitar and you will get a great classic rock sound.
This is an easy guitar to get the good to feel from. It doesn't take a long time for someone to really connect with the feeling and sound of this guitar. One of the best things that I like about this particular guitar is the white paint coat on the body. It really looks like you vintage guitar from the 60s. Since this is a 60s tribute guitar from Gibson.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find these guitars for right around $1199. This is a steal of the price for what you get out of this guitar. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone is looking for the 60's sound and the vintage five of course with the vintage look with white vintage paint job.

Publié le 15/09/11 à 00:58 (contenu en anglais)The Gibson SG standard is the entry level guitar if you're wanting to get into Gibson SG market. This is a beautiful guitar with its red paint job and black pick guard. It's a fine instrument if you really like the sound of the mahogany wood body and mahogany neck. It's going to be a warm and musical tone any more focused tone in my opinion comparatively to a Gibson Les Paul guitar.
UTILIZATION
This guitar features two humbucker pick ups with two volume control knobs and two tone control knobs. It has a nice pearl block inlay which really sets the look of this guitar off. it's a nice well-balanced guitar and the body is a little thinner than a Gibson Les Paul but still retains much of the influence that it takes from the Gibson Les Paul guitar. The neck is going to be a much more versatile neck because you're able to reach the higher friends easier than you would a Gibson Les Paul guitar.
SOUNDS
This guitar works in just about any amplifier that you have. I primarily like these guitars any medium to high gain amplifier setting. So if you have a good Marshall amplifier or some other amplifier or a good power to distortion then this guitar will sound very excellent in that setting. This guitar has a good focused tone that is very intense and brilliant. I preferred this tone over a Gibson Les Paul tone and little bit more but just slightly only because of the versatility and thinner lighter tone that is has.
This guitar sounds great when you couple it with effects pedals or distortion pedals as well. So if you have a clean amp such as a fender twin reverb or some other clean amp then you'll need a distortion pedal so this guitar will work good with that equipment as well.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a good professional high gain or recording guitar. It has a great look very good balance and seal throughout the body and next of the guitar. It's a beautiful color of red anxious to warm tone as well.

Une machine grand rocher!
Publié le 23/10/11 à 18:37 (contenu en anglais)Nashville (Usa) Made, Mahogany body Ebony Black Gibson SG standard, 2 volume, 2 tone controls, center, 300k Linear Volume, 500k Non-linear Tonebridge.
Center, bridge and neck pickup selector, the pickups are alnico made 498T in the bridge and 490R in the neck, Gibson updated rendition of the original PAF humbuckers of the late 50's early 60's.
Rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets, with chrome stop bar, pickups and tune O-Matic.
Nickel vintage tuners with perloid buttons. Comes with a black Gibson hardshell case.
UTILIZATION
A very nice guitar to play with, easy access to all frets and lighter than a Les Paul, a really ergonomic a easy guitar to play with.
SOUNDS
I had this guitar for 10 years now, and I've used it with a lot of different amps, cabs, effects etc.
I recently changed the stock pickups with Bareknuckle ones.
With the stock ones it was quite acid and "trebly" but I changed my tuning to D standard and with the new pickups it's a rock/heavy rock machine.
It can easily goes from clean Jazzy dark tones in the neck position to heavy rhythm and sharp leads in the bridge position.
I've toured a lot with this guitar, and even with the standard tuners and with a 11-52 set of strings it maintains the guitar in tune for a lot of time.
A great guitar for blues too.
OVERALL OPINION
This a guitar that today can be found for a lot less money from 10 years ago. My advice is to try it before, especially if you buy it used, I've read from various sources that the Quality standards from those years were a little bit up and down.
If you find a good one, however I strongly advice to take it, it is a rock monster, that can easily cover a lot of ground even with the stock pickups, great value for the price of it, I would easily buy another one in an heartbeat.00 - iksbe

* Le manche est-il agréable ?
je n'ai qu'un mot: terrible. on l'a bien en main mais pas trop épais ni trop large
il est bien plus épais que sur une shreddeuse, mais il permet une bonne velocité quand meme
* L'accès aux aigus (dernières frets) est-il facile ?
Moins que sur une flying V, sinon y a pas mieux
* L'ergonomie est-elle bonne (en terme de forme, de poids...) ?
Guitare très légère, bien plus qu'une LP notamment (pas très difficile), et bien équilibrée
l'emplacement du jack, c'est paaaaas malin mais on s'y habitue
* Obtient-on facilement un bon son ? ...
ca dépend, c'est quoi "un bon son"???
SONORITÉS
blague à part, les micros et les tones sont très progressifs
c'est une guitare qui passe aisement du blues au hard-rock en passant par la country australienne. Peut-etre moins à l'aise dans des style plus extremes (death metal, ...)
je l'ai vue aussi pendant un concert jazz... loin d'être ridicule
AVIS GLOBAL
* Depuis combien de temps l'utilisez vous ?
plus de 10 ans
* Quelle est la particularité que vous aimez le plus, le moins ?
le confort de jeu
une pelle qui a de la gueule
* Aviez vous essayé beaucoup d'autres modèles avant de l'acquérir ?
plusieurs stratoïdes début de gamme, une LP Epiphone, une JS100
* Comment jugez vous le rapport qualité/prix ?
favorable
* Avec l'expérience, referiez vous ce choix ? ...
certainement, et une troisieme fois s'il le fallait
