"HOLY CRAP ON A STICK, IT'S AWSOME!!!"

Sound:

The humbuckers make it sound great, and with any kind of distortion, the guitar still packs a pretty big punch.

Feature:

I wish it had come with a tremelo bar, but i can get one on my own. The bridge was a little strange to play with at first because im used to playing a Strat, but it was pretty easy to adjust.

Quality:

The quality is really good. I had a couple of intenation problems at first but that's why God invented screwdrivers.

Manufacturer Support:

Nope, no service needed. Nothing has gone wrong with any part of the guitar so everything has been great.

Value:

I believe that the price is reasonably priced, but expensive of course for a teenager to afford. (The price below would be my limit)

The Wow Factor:

The color is an important thing. I would suggest wine red, because red is sexy. Red is the color of fire, passion, and power, and there's nothing more sexy than that.

Overall:

This guitar will take you a long way in your guitar-playing career, until you might happen to save up enough money for an even more kick-ass guitar.

"Gibson SG special really is special!"

Sound:

I am in the process of making a CD and giving some of the proceeds to the Lion's Club. I tried over 20 guitars before I got the sound and guitar action that suited my style.

Feature:

The Humbucker pickups give an authentic sound that recreates the excitement of the early 60's recordings. Whether I am playing jazz, country,or rock,I am able to get exactly the sound that I want.

Quality:

Excellent!

Manufacturer Support:

I never had to deal with the company. I am sure that their Customer service is a great as their products. I have never heard one negative comment about Gibson. Musicans love to talk as well as sing.

The Wow Factor:

For me the Gibson Sg special is just a practical addition to my setup. However,my wife and friends marvel at its beauty!

Overall:

If the guitar were lost or stolen, I'd buy an exact replacement.

Quality:

The Gibson SG is made from the best materials for the best sound and the best feel. it is super light and easy to take where ever you want to go.

Manufacturer Support:

GIBSON ROCKS!!!!!

This guitar is a little pricey but it worth it to get the best sound and the best feel out of a guitar

The Wow Factor:

The looks of this guitar are unbeatale and as you can see from the way angus young plays it, it can do anything!

Overall:

This guitar will last you for ever if you get it when you started out you can keep it til your death and it will still sound just as good.

"Marvel"

Sound:

Beautyfull, rich sound all round. Perfect for Hard Rock, Metal and Blues.

Feature:

It's surprisingly light and the mahogany neck makes it very pleasant to play.

Quality:

Excellent finish, just what u would expect from a USA Gibson.

Manufacturer Support:

I havnt had any troubles so far, so i have nothing to say about this one

Value:

An American made Gibson under $1000 with an amazing feel and sound. I paid $620

The Wow Factor:

SG is in my opinion the sexiest guitar. Santana, Angus Young, Peter Townshend have all got one...

Overall:

Its feel, its sound, its looks and last but not least: its value, make this guitar top of my list. A Les Paul of the same quality is much more expensive. An amazing, and I mean an amazing guitar for the average player!

"If you have any doubt in your mind wheater you should buy this guitar or not, then u should be shot."

Sound:

probably the best sound i have heard from a guitar for just about....ever!

Feature:

With four different knobs, u dont even need all the knobs on the amp. all u need is the guitar and u can fine tune the sound just like that.

Quality:

This guitar is flawless it has no mistakes, it looks great and sounds even better.

Manufacturer Support:

I dont think that this guitar will need any repairs or adjustments for a long time.

Value:

yes its a little pricy, but i think its worth it, its just going to take my whole summer to buy one.

The Wow Factor:

no doubt in my mind that this guitar or a les paul. i have tried them both and the action that this guitar has along with the sound just doesnt compare.

Overall:

I love, i need it and so do u!!!

"with a little work a black beauty"

Sound:

this guitar overall is a very good value,though its best fit for metal and harder music it can also handle full chords very well. A little dry sounding i put emg zakk wyldes in mine and a mirror pickguard its black so it looks so friekin hott a very good guitar for shows considering it costs half what my les paul custom costs and it sounds almost as good better for the heavyier riffs.

Feature:

truely i like this product alot but i wish it started out with hotter pickups in it it being a sg it needs the boost. i also wish it came stock with locking tuners......overall pleased though.

Ease of Use:

this guitar is very playable i like the low action and the lightness compared to a les paul though it does lack some of the clean quality a les paul has it makes up for it with the grind....for how easy it is to use mainly i believe its the player not the guitar if you give me a beginners crappy squier bullit i could still pull of a hendrix solo though its does help to have better gear being a good player matters the most.

Quality:

it came in very good shape though the numbers on the headstock are a little to painted......they are hard to read..my sg is very reliable more so than any of my fenders and its quite tough i play metal mainly and i can throw this guitar aroung without much trouble.

Manufacturer Support:

they were very easy to deal with and helped me deal straight with the problem putting a tech on the phone with me.

Value:

is deffinatly worth every penny though it may take some work to make it sound like a metal machine.

The Wow Factor:

after doing some work it looks wayyy hotter than a paul

Overall:

i would deffinatly say i am happy with this product and would buy it all over again.

Sound:

seriously, if you are even thinking about getting one, dont think about any other guitar!! its amazing. Im the biggest shred head ull ever find and im so happy widdling along this baby with its creamy thick tones, and lightning bite for leads!!

Feature:

Quality:

G-I-B-S-O-N , did you really have to even look at this section to even wonder what its like!!! saeriously though, fast neck, brilliant wood on it btw, lovely grains on the mahogany body. Spot on gibson.

Manufacturer Support:

Never needed it, i doubt i ever will...

Value:

"The best sounding and looking guitar out there."

Sounds great. The humbuckers are perfect.

Ease of Use:

It is very easy to use.

Quality:

The SG is very sturdy and well put together.

Value:

Little too expensive.

"A real road warrior."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:

This is one of the more Spartan Gibsons, but that's a good thing depending upon the perspective. I like a stripped-down guitar with no flowery binding or intricate inlays or figured maple tops. Plus, the finish is great at hiding small dings and scratches (I have the black one, but most others are just as good). However, the Gibson 3-way switches are poor quality. I've played by fair share of LPs, Vs, X-plorers and SGs in virtually all price ranges, and one thing is the same in all of them

"This is a great guitar for under a thousand bucks it plays, sounds and feels like a more expensive model."

Sound:

I have owned my Gibson SG for Eight years and it still sounds and playes great it does anything you want it to do. I bought it new. this guitar has never let me down.

there was one slight finishing blemish on this guitar barley noticeable

Manufacturer Support:

The gibson customer service people are really good to deal with

Value:

So far the only electric guitars that hold value are Gibson, and vintage Fender's

Overall:

I will always love my SG but, I would like to have a Les Paul Standard, Classic or even a SG 61 reissue one day.
