Feature:
She's absolutely true to her vintage roots.

Quality:
I've used this particular axe "on the road" for a couple of years & she's yet to let me down. As I've written above, out-of-the-box fit/finish was/is remarkable! No fear of it breaking, but I take freakish care of my stuff...

Value:
Price couldn't be beat. She was a gift (thanks BigBoy & Sher!).

Desirability:
I've snagged more than a pair (or 2) of panties (sorry Tinque!) with those sweet devil horns, but it could be the Klotz &/or the plectrum...

Sound:
Plays like butter & had near-perfect setup right out of the shipping carton. The fit/finish is flawless & all hardware is rock-solid. I run her through a PolyTone, Epi Blues Custom 30 (an AMAZING amp itself), a Fender Blues Jr (my practice/warmup amp), a Kendrick MONSTER & last, but not least an OLD JMF 60 watter. This axe loves 'em all for various & sundry reasons.

Ease of Use:
Using an 'elaborate' Billy Gibbons setup (for blues ~and~ jazz): Klotz cable (thanks Gerald W @ Kendrick), Dunlop Ultex .73 & Elixir 'anti-rust' .010s, I've turned 'ease of use' into an art form!

Support:
ALL emails to Gibson have been answered in < 24 hrs (thanks Elliot!) & calls have been friendly & uber-informative. I tend to 'pimp' them a bit & have yet to receive a curt, pissy response!

Overall:
The search was over before it started. I still have more teeth than axes, but the ratio is rapidly approaching 1:1 & @ last count I still had all OEM toopheses.

Quality:
I use every week for the past 32 years still original frets and all.

Sound:
I have a 70`s model block inlays,man you can play any sound anyone you like, led zep. blk sabht,beatles everytime I play outside allways get photoed and most of the time asked if I want to sell it,no way I tell them. I olso have a 70`s fender strat but only just to say I have one,for the gibson is tops champ hands down.

Support:
yes about 2 years ago I asked Gibson to give me the exact year it came out I gave them serial number and describtion of body and fretboard but I was not given the exact year, they where not sure what year it was.

Overall:
I wanted a les paul deluxe and I gave the money to a friend going to uk(england)to get me one from there and he came with the SG he said if you don`t like it I take it back next month and change it .I tried it I kept it no regrets when I plugged it in my LANEY 100watts KLIPP,lets rock.

Feature:
Rosewood Fingerboard, 57 classic pick ups, 60's slim taper neck.

Quality:
I don't even need to answer this question

Value:
not only the best SG, but also the best SG for the money.

Desirability:
SG's look great, but I think this specific model loos a million times better in black. If it was black I'd give a ten, but the black model was discontinued for some reason.

Sound:
This is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard. No SG sounds better than this one. Sounds great with heavy distortion, clean, or in between

Ease of Use:
The best neck I've ever played. Really couldn't be any easier to play.

Support:
don't know?

Overall:
This is the best SG you can buy. If you know you want an SG just get this one. I can't see how anyone can dislike this superb guitar.

Quality:
as all you people know this is a profesional instrument and can be plaied enywhere so don't worry have fun.

Value:
it is somewhat expensive. but hey...

Desirability:
well. I guess the less pauls are made with better woods and bindings etc. and thats why their cost is high, but the sg is simple with mean sexy looks.

Sound:
three words: plays,sounds and looks beautiful she is weild.

Overall:
hopefully is for life. this sg is just an addition to the gam power.

Feature:
The knobs on the guitar change the tone beautifully, turn it one notch....BAM.....your at the tone you want. I wish it came with a tremolo(whammy) bar, or a vibrola, or something but without it it is still awesome.

Quality:
When i first got it, i was skeptical, because it looked so fragil, but once rock with it, its as sturdy as if it were made of metal.

Value:
It is a little pricey, but once you have it, that is completley out of your mind.

Desirability:
I mean come on just look at it............did you look.........................see it rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Sound:
The Gibson, has one of the best sounds in my opinion, it sounds great whether your playing in a basement, garage, live, recording, sounds greatno matter what. No matter what style you want to play it is possible.

Ease of Use:
This products ease of use rocks, when i first played it, i went to bend it up 1 1/2 steps, and i bent it up 2, with ease, it was so easy to bend. The playablity of this great, there is no reason to not buy this guitar.

Support:
When i first bought it i got it in the mail and it had a lot of scratches, but when i said something about it, i was given a temporary replacement, and was shipped another brand new one.

Overall:
I love this guitar, it is the best thing you'll buy in your life...........well except for a house.

Feature:
It can help if your equiped with a guitarrpick.

Quality:
I bought mine 1977, still going strong untutched. All is still original.

Value:
I can't complain. 1977, I payed about 5000 Swedish kronor for the guitarr. And today I would still get about 10K for it.

Sound:
This is not a Jazz guitarr. Must i say more.

Support:
YES, I asked for the birthday and Gibson answered me over the mail. I guess it was about 5 years ago. ( GREAT )

Overall:
Can't live without it. I guess it will soon become a fretswitch. IF I CAN find the right workshop for the job.
