"BUY IT NOW!"

Feature:
I really wish it had a tremolo or a whammy bar, but im fixing that soon enough, gunna hook-up a Bigsby to this thing. its guarenteed to be great.(however i wouldn't recomend a Bigsby for an LP, its already a great weight, any more would ruin it)

Quality:
...uhhh, its a Gibson, #1 quality!

Value:
a little expensive, but easliy the best guitar ive owned.

Desirability:
so sexy, my natural burst SG, with a Bigsby tremolo, and a Marshall amp...its a match made in heaven.

Sound:
Oh my god, this guitar has the best sound of any guitar ive ever heard. when i run it through my marshall, and blast that distortion its EXACTLY what i was hoping for.

Ease of Use:
GREAT fret board, smooth as silk, couldnt ask for better.

Support:
no problems

Overall:
one of the best guitars ive ever played.

"The Guitar is GODLIKE.Not more comments but it's worth it!"

Feature:
My friend bought it and it included a case and a set of Polyfiber Strings!The string was cool but the case was'nt my style tough.but is good.

Quality:
Sometimes it's good to have backup parts (in case of dropping the guitar)but i'm very satisfied.I'm buying one in spring!

Value:
Well,it is expensive but i think it's worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desirability:
It's godlike!!!!!!!

Sound:
this gutar has the most awesome sound i ever seen. The Sound is so expressive like Oprah yelling at your ears!It Has the power to make you godlike.No wonder that Anges Young is Playng a Gibson Sg!I Play Heavy Metal using a Lot of Distortion!The Sound is so clear.No Buzzing is interfeering.The sond is distorted but you can hear every string so clearly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Love The GIBSON SG STANDARD .

Ease of Use:
Very playable!Everything is so CLEAR!No comment........

Support:
My Friend did'nt say anything.I suppose it was Ok

Overall:
All my Life!!if i want to search for another sound i'll buy a distortion device but after i buy the guitar i'll never replace it!

"Playing this guitar is the most fun you can have with your pants on..."

Feature:
Has everything you need except the whammy bar, but if you really need a whammy, check out the Angus or the SG Standard reissue with Maestro or just do your finger exercises. :oP

Quality:
Gibson. The name says it all. Excellent craftmanship and quality.

Value:
You get what you pay for and this guitar is probably the best bang for your buck that you'll ever find.

Desirability:
I bought my first SG not long ago and loved it so much I bought a second one. :o)

Sound:
This guitar sounds AWESOME. I use a Boss GT-8, and/or a DR-880. Both can produce a wide variety of great guitar sounds from Angus Young to Stevie Ray to ZZ Top and everything in between, even the more mellow 60's style. And by the way, I have used the forementioned processors with other guitars (I won't mention the other brands) and they don't sound nearly as good as with this guitar. This guitar produces the sound I've been searching my whole life for.

Ease of Use:
Very easy guitar to play. The action was perfectly set up from the factory.

Support:
Haven't needed them but based on the quality of this guitar, I imagine they're like the proverbial Maytag repair man sitting around with nothing to do. I'll give them this one.

Overall:
I guess I should say something negative about Gibson so I'll just yell at them here for not convincing me to buy an SG 20 years ago. I would have saved a bundle on other guitars I've bought over the years had I bought an SG back when I first started playing.

Feature:
whammy bars :(

Value:
bang 4 ur buck, really worth spending more money on a nice guitar like this one

Overall:
its one of those guitars that dont go out of style. i like the look and feel of the guitar, only thing is u cant put a good whammy bar on it. its better that getting the cheaper gibsons because they dont look as nice.
