"Good feel for a Lefty."

Feature:
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.

Desirability:
It has a warm and clasic look but sounds like a bad rock guitar.

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.

Overall:
This will be my main axe.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
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.
