"A Real Guitar with A Real Hardcore Guitarist"
Feature:
Includes A CASE, a tool (don't know yet for what it is) Warranty stuff, but the guitar is the KILLER I have it on Heritage Cherry,and my finish is a killer. I will never leave it for anything, and the humbuckers rock. If you touch it you will love it!!!
Quality:
All I can say...made to perfection, the quality of this guitar is unbeatable!
Value:
The price well is a little Killer but if you are PRO or really like a Legendary guitar for all your life this is it! I highly recommend it!
Desirability:
I love this guitar finish, I named it "Sangre" meaning blood in spanish I really love it love it love it marry it!!!
Sound:
The Sound Of This Guitar is Agresive, Heavy,AND HOT!!! It does respond a little for my playing style but on solos, and some songs I sing it work so nicely because of the round sound. It works very nicely if you want to play vintage, rhymth,heavy, and all that kind of stuff! (Not for clean Fender Fans or the one that likes to shred)I highly recommend it!
Ease of Use:
You can get great sounds of it, and has a great playability just out of the box, just don't lower the action like I did. If you do it will start to suck a lot, and the sound will be crappy as hell. But the guitar really works out very nicely, after fixin that error Is a shame I can't demonstrate you how!
Support:
Never had problems with it, until I lowered the action, but that's my fault. Equally you will not need support, someday you'll know why!
Overall:
This is my 3rd, and last guitar for now, and is a dream come true because is a Gibson...I will never leave it for anything, and besides is the only actual guitar I have that actually works for me! It can do a lot of stuff you'll just need to play well that's all!

"This may be the one..."
Feature:
The guitar usually comes with a hardshell case, however, when I bought mine the store was out of them so I have an Epiphone case. It has two tone knobs and a volume knob for each pickup, which gives you maximum control over your tone. It's extremely slim and light, which makes it an easy guitar to play, and the action was fantastic directly from the factory.
Quality:
This product was in excellent condition directly from the factory - no blemishes in the finish and solid. It's an instrument made in America, and it can take abuse, and I expect it to last a long time. Definitely appropriate for the road.
Value:
If you're measuring tone, I would say the Les Paul has an edge on the SG - not much of an edge, and certainly not enough to justify the difference in price. While I have played Les Paul's and liked them very very much, I also love my SG, and for the price, there's no better instrument.
Desirability:
It has the double-cutaway, which is very familiar to fans of the SG. It has been played by a ton of musicians: Pete Townsend, George Harrison, Frank Zappa, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan, Paul Westerberg, Tony Iommi, Rivers Cuomo, Angus Young, Jimmy Page, Johnny "Guitar" Watson...the list goes on and on -- so it's instantly recognizable. I own the Heritage Cherry and it's sexy as hell.
Sound:
I love this instrument. While it's sound isn't quite as distinguished as a Les Paul, it has a ton of bottom end, but is nicely balanced with crisp, clean highs -- great for recording or playing live. It has a fixed bridge, which a lot of players dislike, but I prefer. And the sustain on an SG is unbelievable! The minute I first plugged one in I knew I had to own it. I confess, I committed a bit of sacrelige: the instrument had the traditional Gibson tuners, which I find to be un-reliable, so I changed them, and now it's solid as a rock.
Support:
I haven't needed to contact Gibson, and truthfully, I don't expect to have to. It has a simple design that I don't expect to wear out anytime soon.
Overall:
This is a fantastic instrument and I encourage you to get your hands on one if you're a fan of that thick Gibson sound. An SG is great whether you're playing rhythm or lead. I also own a Fender Stratocaster and my SG compliments it very well, because they both can make sounds that the other can't. I play the SG more than any of my other guitars because it is the most versatile.
