Gibson Faded Series Left-Handed SG Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
490R/490T Alnico II-magnet humbuckers. Picture is of right-handed version. Item is left-handed.

This amazingly affordable, American made Gibson SG is built with the same features as some of the most sought-after Gibson's ever built. The new Worn Cherry and Worn Brown finishes gives this classic model the look of well-worn, well-loved instruments. The Faded's "Modern Classic" 490R/490T Alnico II-magnet humbuckers feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The Faded SG Special includes a TKL padded gig bag.

This will be my main axe.
Sound
If you like Hard Rick such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Led Zep then this is the guitar for you. As a Lefty it is difficult to try before I buy. I owned a Strat before but no more. This guitar blew it away. The quality is solid and the pickups give an excellent heavy metal sound with deep rich tones.
Features
As a basic solid guitar it has everything I needed. A Gibson Gig Bag comes with it.
Quality
Finish is fantastic - worn brown has a nice warm look and very comfortable in my hands.
Value
For 775.00 it is good as a one and only guitar for a lefty.
The Wow Factor
It has a warm and clasic look but sounds like a bad rock guitar.

Musical Background:
