This lefty Gibson SG Special pays tribute to a time when rock was king and the riffs were huge. A pair of mini-humbuckers produce a thick, distinct sound.

Ok, the only complaint I have is a cosmetic issue. The pickguard around the cut edges were not cleaned up after machining. After taking that off and cleaning it up... perfect Gibson SG for the price! Stays in tune, pickups are great, finish was perfect, great feel and playability, and this one is not heavy at the breadstick like most SG's.
Sound
This thing is a real burner when you want it to be! It cleans up really nice also! Set up was great out of the box, I only had to lower the strings for my playing style! I play hard rock, metal, and blues and it does all 3 with no problems!
Features
Overall, this is a workhorse of a guitar! Nice solid vintage tuners, great satin finish, no binding, it's a real go getter!
Ease of Use
A+ for sound and playability!
Quality

Value
Very well valued!
