"Pictures don't do it justice."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The SG has a different tone than other similar guitars, and it takes a little getting used to. The sweet spots are in different places than other guitars for the neck pickup, due to it being a little further back from the fretboard than a Les Paul or others. Maybe thats why some have complained about the pickups. To me this guitar sounds EXACTLY as it should. I even tried other pickups and they did not have the pick sensitivity or the vintage tone, or especially the low-end balls that the stock ones do. This is the first cheap guitar I have bought that sounds fine just like it is. Sounds perfect through my Boogie express 5:25.

Feature:

The only things I can think of to add to this guitar are coil taps, a phase switch, and neck binding. But all of that would change the vintage vibe and raise the price so its probably best as it is.

Ease of Use:

Like I said, you have to spend a few days with it to get used to the neck pickup tone, which sounds more like a humless jazzmaster than a les paul. Thanks to the SG design it is very easy to play the highest frets, much easier than a strat or les paul.

Quality:

The build quality of this guitar is astounding! I never would have thought that China could out-do Korea but they definitely did it. The pictures you see of these do not do justice to the finish. It is absolutely gorgeous. The rosewood on the fretboard even has a little figuring to it, and looks FAR better than my Korean made Agile. There is a pinhead sized spot on the bottom of the body where there must have been a tiny air bubble, but no one else will ever know its there other than me and the rest of the guitar looks so good I don't care. This is absolutely the best looking guitar for the money that I have ever seen or heard.

Value:

I think I've already stated the good deal this is.

Overall:

Overall this is an amazing deal on a quality guitar that plays well and has a true vintage vibe and tone.
